FAA 107 Remote Pilot Decision-Making 3

Question 1

A remote pilot is offered payment to fly over a crowd at a public event. Without a waiver, what must the pilot do?

Accepted Answer

Decline the flight; operations over people require an FAA waiver or specific Part 107 category authorization

Answer

Part 107 prohibits flight over moving vehicles and people without an FAA waiver or meeting Category I-IV requirements.

Question 2

The 3P model of aeronautical decision-making stands for:

Accepted Answer

Perceive, Process, Perform

Answer

The 3P model—Perceive, Process, Perform—is a structured framework the FAA recommends for continuous risk assessment during flight.

Question 3

A remote pilot observes smoke and reports seeing a manned helicopter approaching at the same altitude. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Immediately descend and land to yield right-of-way

Answer

Manned aircraft always have right-of-way over sUAS; the remote pilot must yield immediately by descending or landing.

Question 4

Which action best demonstrates the 'Antiauthority' hazardous attitude being corrected?

Accepted Answer

A pilot who says 'Rules are for other people' decides to follow the regulations after all

Answer

Antiauthority is the attitude that rules don't apply to you; correcting it means choosing to follow regulations even when you disagree with them.

Question 5

During a commercial real estate shoot, the remote pilot realizes the GPS signal is unreliable. What should the pilot do?

Accepted Answer

Land immediately; GPS-dependent operations require a reliable signal

Answer

Unreliable GPS during a commercial flight is a significant risk factor; the safest decision is to land and resolve the issue before continuing.
