✍️ Sample RPC Questions & Answers
1. A remote pilot's sUAS experiences a motor failure at 200 ft AGL over a suburban neighborhood. What is the FIRST priority?

Mitigation reduces risk to an acceptable level when full elimination is not possible, such as adding a VO to reduce the risk of airspace conflicts.
