RPC Airport and Off-Site Operations 3

Question 1

A remote pilot is operating a sUAS at an off-site location (away from any airport) and observes a low-flying crop duster approaching. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Land the sUAS immediately or descend to the lowest safe altitude and move clear

Answer

Agricultural aircraft often operate at very low altitudes; the remote pilot must always yield right-of-way and descend or land to avoid conflict.

Question 2

Under Part 107, what is the maximum altitude a remote pilot may fly a sUAS over a congested area without a waiver, assuming no airport airspace restrictions?

Accepted Answer

400 feet AGL

Answer

The standard Part 107 altitude limit is 400 feet AGL, regardless of whether the area is congested or rural, unless a waiver is obtained.

Question 3

A remote pilot is flying near a stadium during a sporting event. Which regulation is most relevant?

Accepted Answer

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) typically prohibit sUAS operations over large sporting events

Answer

FAR 91.145 establishes TFRs over large sporting events attended by 30,000 or more people, prohibiting all aircraft including sUAS within the restricted area.

Question 4

What is the minimum distance a sUAS must maintain from a cloud when operating in Class G airspace below 1,200 feet AGL during the day?

Accepted Answer

Clear of clouds with no specific distance requirement

Answer

In Class G airspace below 1,200 feet AGL during the day, sUAS must remain clear of clouds with no specified minimum distance under Part 107.

Question 5

A remote pilot plans to fly in a rural area well away from airports but notices power lines crossing the planned flight path. What is the best practice?

Accepted Answer

Plan the flight path to avoid the power lines and brief the visual observer on their location

Answer

Power lines are a significant collision hazard at off-site locations; pilots should pre-plan routes to avoid them and ensure the visual observer is aware of their location.
