  1. Which professional organization publishes the UAS industry's consensus standards used globally for drone operations?

    Answer: Both A and C

    Both ASTM International (F38 Committee) and ISO/TC 20/SC 16 develop widely referenced UAS consensus standards used internationally.

  2. A newly certified Part 107 pilot fails to complete recurrent training within the required window. What happens to their operating privileges?

    Answer: Their remote pilot operating privileges lapse until the recurrent test is passed

    Without a current knowledge test, a pilot's Part 107 operating privileges lapse, though the certificate itself is not revoked—just rendered inactive for commercial use.

  3. In a UAS career development context, what does the acronym 'SME' typically refer to?

    Answer: Subject Matter Expert

    SME stands for Subject Matter Expert, a term used in professional development to denote a specialist whose deep knowledge is leveraged for training, consulting, or standards work.

  4. Which federal agency partners with the FAA to fund UAS workforce development programs at community colleges?

    Answer: Department of Labor

    The Department of Labor has funded UAS workforce development and apprenticeship programs through grants to community colleges and training providers.

  5. A UAS operator wants to fly commercially under Part 107 but has a prior FAA violation on record. What is the likely outcome of their certification application?

    Answer: The FAA reviews the violation history and may deny, condition, or grant the certificate

    The FAA evaluates each applicant's history individually; a prior violation does not result in automatic denial but is weighed during the certification review.

  6. What term describes a structured employer-sponsored program combining on-the-job UAS training with related technical instruction, often registered with the DOL?

    Answer: Apprenticeship

    A registered apprenticeship combines paid on-the-job learning with classroom instruction and leads to an industry-recognized credential, increasingly common in UAS fields.

  7. Which UAS industry body offers the 'Wings' proficiency program as a safety and continuing education initiative for drone pilots?

    Answer: FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam)

    The FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) administers the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program, which has been extended to include UAS operators seeking continuing safety education.
