FAA 107 Emergency Procedures & Contingency Planning 5

Question 1

A remote PIC operating in Class D airspace receives no response after three attempts to contact the tower. The correct action is to:

Accepted Answer

Do not enter the airspace — authorization requires two-way communication with the tower

Answer

Part 107 requires actual two-way communication authorization from ATC before entering Class D airspace; failed contact attempts do not substitute for authorization.

Question 2

During a commercial inspection flight, a sudden medical emergency affects the only visual observer. The remote PIC is 0.3 miles from the sUAS. What is the first priority?

Accepted Answer

Land the sUAS immediately, then assist the visual observer

Answer

The aircraft must be landed immediately to prevent it from operating without required oversight before the remote PIC can address the medical emergency.

Question 3

A remote PIC's ground control station (GCS) loses power mid-flight. What outcome is most dependent on the aircraft's pre-programmed failsafe settings?

Accepted Answer

The aircraft will execute whatever failsafe behavior was configured (hover, land, or RTH)

Answer

When GCS power is lost, the aircraft acts on its pre-programmed failsafe, which varies by configuration — making proper failsafe setup a critical pre-flight task.

Question 4

What minimum property damage threshold requires a remote PIC to report an sUAS accident to the FAA under Part 107.9?

Accepted Answer

Property damage exceeding $500 to property other than the sUAS

Answer

Part 107.9 requires FAA notification when an sUAS accident causes serious injury OR property damage exceeding $500 to property other than the sUAS itself.

Question 5

A remote PIC planned a flight corridor but upon arrival finds a farmers' market has set up directly below the planned path. The correct action is to:

Accepted Answer

Abort or significantly modify the flight plan to avoid flight over the crowd

Answer

Part 107 prohibits flight over moving vehicles and people without a waiver; the PIC must abort or reroute to avoid operating over the unexpected crowd.
