FAA 107 Airspace Classification & Flight Restrictions 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A remote pilot checks B4UFLY and sees a red pin over the intended flight location. What does this indicate?
- The area has enhanced weather conditions favorable for flying
- There is a known restriction or caution affecting drone operations in that area (Correct answer)
- The location is pre-approved for night operations
- ATC authorization has already been granted via LAANC
Correct answer: There is a known restriction or caution affecting drone operations in that area
A red indicator in B4UFLY means there is a known restriction or caution that likely prevents or limits drone flight in that area.
Question 2: What ceiling altitude does Class G airspace extend to when there is no overlying Class E airspace?
- 700 feet AGL
- 1,200 feet AGL
- 14,500 feet MSL
- 18,000 feet MSL (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 18,000 feet MSL
Where no Class E airspace is designated below 14,500 feet MSL, Class G airspace extends up to but not including 14,500 feet MSL.
Question 3: A drone pilot wants to fly within the Mode C veil near a Class B airport. What is the Mode C veil radius?
- 5 nautical miles
- 10 nautical miles
- 30 nautical miles (Correct answer)
- 60 nautical miles
Correct answer: 30 nautical miles
The Mode C veil extends 30 nautical miles from the primary airport in a Class B airspace area.
Question 4: When is a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) issued for a TFR over a stadium during a sporting event?
- At least 30 days before the event
- Typically the day before or the day of the event (Correct answer)
- Only after the event has begun
- One week before the scheduled event
Correct answer: Typically the day before or the day of the event
Stadium TFR NOTAMs are typically issued the day before or day of the event and are effective during the event plus one hour after.
Question 5: An sUAS operator is flying near an Active Military Operations Area (MOA). What should the remote pilot do?
- Proceed normally since MOAs do not apply to drones
- Contact the controlling agency and exercise extreme caution (Correct answer)
- Land immediately as flight is prohibited
- File a flight plan with the nearest ATC
Correct answer: Contact the controlling agency and exercise extreme caution
Remote pilots should contact the controlling agency to determine activity level and exercise extreme caution when flying near an active MOA.
Question 6: Class C airspace typically extends from the surface to what altitude above the primary airport?
- 1,500 feet AGL
- 2,500 feet AGL
- 4,000 feet AGL (Correct answer)
- 10,000 feet MSL
Correct answer: 4,000 feet AGL
Class C airspace typically extends from the surface to 4,000 feet AGL above the primary airport elevation.
Question 7: Which type of airspace surrounds airports that have an operational control tower and is depicted by a dashed blue line on sectional charts?
- Class B
- Class C
- Class D (Correct answer)
- Class E
Correct answer: Class D
Class D airspace surrounds airports with operating control towers and is shown on sectional charts as a dashed blue circle.
