A remote pilot wants to fly a sUAS in Class G airspace at 350 feet AGL in a rural area. What authorization is required?
Answer: No authorization — Class G is uncontrolled airspace
Class G is uncontrolled airspace; no ATC authorization is required for Part 107 operations within its limits.
The outer ring of Class C airspace typically extends from 1,200 feet AGL to 4,000 feet AGL with what lateral radius?
Answer: 10 NM
The outer ring of Class C airspace has a 10 nautical mile radius and extends from 1,200 feet AGL to 4,000 feet AGL.
A wildfire TFR has been issued under 14 CFR 91.137. A news drone operator wants to cover the fire. What is true?
Answer: Entry requires coordination with the agency managing the fire and permission from ATC
Wildfire TFRs under 91.137 restrict all aircraft including sUAS; entry requires coordination with the responsible agency.
What is the floor of Class E airspace in a Federal airway (Victor airway)?
Answer: 1,200 feet AGL
Victor airways (Federal airways) are Class E airspace with a floor of 1,200 feet AGL and extend up to but not including 18,000 feet MSL.
When operating in Class E airspace that extends to the surface (depicted by a dashed magenta line with a 'surface E' designation), what does a Part 107 pilot need?
Answer: ATC authorization because surface Class E is controlled airspace
Class E airspace that extends to the surface is controlled airspace and requires ATC authorization for Part 107 operations.
Which area is depicted on a sectional chart as a hard-edged blue line with the letter 'P' followed by a number?
Answer: Prohibited Area
Prohibited Areas are shown on sectional charts as blue boundaries labeled with 'P' and a number (e.g., P-40 for Camp David).
A remote pilot plans to fly near an Alert Area on a sectional chart. What should the pilot know about Alert Areas?
Answer: Alert Areas contain a high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity; all aircraft are equally responsible for collision avoidance
Alert Areas (depicted with 'A' and a number) warn of high volumes of training or unusual activity, and all aircraft — manned or unmanned — share equal responsibility for collision avoidance.
