FAA 107 Remote Pilot Decision-Making 4

Question 1

A remote pilot experiences a flyaway where the drone flies beyond visual line of sight. What is the FIRST priority?

Accepted Answer

Attempt to regain visual contact; if unsuccessful, activate RTH and alert people below

Answer

The first priority in a flyaway is to protect people on the ground; the pilot should try to regain VLOS and use RTH while alerting anyone in the potential landing area.

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of 'confirmation bias' in remote pilot decision-making?

Accepted Answer

A pilot ignores a warning NOTAM because they believe it doesn't apply to their flight

Answer

Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek or interpret information that confirms one's preexisting beliefs, such as dismissing a NOTAM that contradicts the desired plan.

Question 3

What is the maximum time a remote pilot has to report an accident involving serious injury or property damage exceeding $500 to the FAA?

Accepted Answer

10 days

Answer

Under Part 107.9, a remote pilot must report an accident to the FAA within 10 calendar days of the occurrence.

Question 4

A remote pilot must decide whether to fly near a wildfire to capture news footage. Which factor is MOST critical to the decision?

Accepted Answer

Active TFRs, smoke visibility, and impact on firefighting aircraft

Answer

Wildfires frequently generate TFRs, and drone flights near them can interfere with manned firefighting operations, making airspace restrictions and manned aircraft traffic the dominant safety factors.

Question 5

The 'Invulnerability' hazardous attitude in a remote pilot would be BEST described as:

Accepted Answer

Believing accidents only happen to other, less skilled pilots

Answer

Invulnerability is the false belief that 'it won't happen to me,' which leads pilots to take unnecessary risks.
