  1. A media production company hires you to film a car chase scene involving the drone flying near moving vehicles. Under standard Part 107, this is:

    Answer: Prohibited without a waiver because Part 107 restricts flight over moving vehicles

    Part 107.39 prohibits flight over moving vehicles without a waiver, regardless of the commercial context.

  2. What document should a professional drone services company always have on-site during a commercial shoot?

    Answer: Remote pilot certificate, drone registration, and any applicable waivers or authorizations

    The RPIC must have their remote pilot certificate and the drone's registration available, along with any waivers required for that specific operation.

  3. A construction company asks you to fly inside a partially built warehouse structure. Under Part 107, indoor flight is:

    Answer: Not regulated by Part 107 because it applies to national airspace, which does not include indoor spaces

    Part 107 governs operations in the National Airspace System; indoor flights are generally not within NAS and therefore not subject to Part 107.

  4. Which of the following best describes the concept of 'careless or reckless' operation under Part 107?

    Answer: Any operation that endangers the life or property of others

    Part 107.23 prohibits careless or reckless operation, defined as any operation that endangers the life or property of another person.

  5. A drone startup wants to offer BVLOS infrastructure inspections on a permanent route. Which FAA pathway is most appropriate?

    Answer: Apply for a Part 107 BVLOS waiver with a detailed safety case for each operational area

    BVLOS operations require an FAA waiver under Part 107.200, supported by a detailed safety case demonstrating equivalent level of safety.

  6. Under Part 107, a visual observer (VO) is used to extend situational awareness. Which statement about the VO role is correct?

    Answer: The VO must maintain visual contact with the drone and communicate with the RPIC

    The VO's role is to maintain unaided visual contact with the drone and relay safety information to the RPIC; no certificate is required for the VO.

  7. A drone operator is paid to photograph a private golf course. Halfway through the flight, the remote pilot realizes the drone's battery is at 20%. What should the operator do?

    Answer: Immediately land the drone and assess whether to continue with a fresh battery

    The RPIC must ensure a safe return-to-home or landing before battery levels compromise flight control; fulfilling a contract does not override safety duties.
