FAA 107 Remote Pilot Decision-Making 5

Question 1

A remote pilot discovers a small crack in one propeller before a paid commercial flight. The correct action is to:

Accepted Answer

Replace the propeller before flying; a damaged prop is a safety-of-flight issue

Answer

A cracked propeller can fail in flight causing a crash; the sUAS must be considered unairworthy and the prop must be replaced before any flight.

Question 2

Under what circumstance may a remote pilot legally deviate from Part 107 rules?

Accepted Answer

In an emergency requiring immediate action to protect life or property

Answer

Part 107.21 allows deviation from any rule to the extent necessary to respond to an emergency, with a report to the FAA required upon request.

Question 3

A remote pilot is pressured by a supervisor to fly over a restricted area to complete a deadline. The best response is to:

Accepted Answer

Refuse the flight; no business pressure justifies violating airspace restrictions

Answer

The remote pilot in command is legally responsible for the safety and legality of each flight; business pressure is never a valid justification for regulatory violations.

Question 4

What is the best practice when a remote pilot is unsure whether an area falls within controlled airspace?

Accepted Answer

Check an FAA-approved planning tool such as B4UFLY or LAANC before flight

Answer

FAA-approved tools like B4UFLY and LAANC provide real-time airspace authorization data and are the correct resources for pre-flight airspace verification.

Question 5

Which of the following BEST describes 'task saturation' for a remote pilot?

Accepted Answer

Having too many tasks to monitor simultaneously, leading to reduced situational awareness

Answer

Task saturation occurs when the pilot's workload exceeds cognitive capacity, increasing the risk of missing critical information or making errors.
