What is the standard lateral radius of a TFR established around a Presidential movement under 14 CFR 91.141?
Answer: 5 nautical miles inner / 10 nautical miles outer
Presidential TFRs typically establish a 10 NM outer ring and a 5 NM inner ring (no flight zone) around the President's location.
An sUAS pilot is operating within 5 miles of a non-towered airport in Class G airspace. Under Part 107, what is required?
Answer: No specific authorization is required if the airspace is Class G and uncontrolled
Class G airspace is uncontrolled; Part 107 does not require authorization there, though pilots must comply with all other operating rules.
Which of the following best describes a Restricted Area on an aeronautical chart?
Answer: Airspace where operations are hazardous to non-participating aircraft and require ATC permission
Restricted areas (prefix R-) contain hazardous activities and require permission from the controlling agency before entry.
A Part 107 pilot plans to fly in an area with an active Special Use Airspace (SUA) Warning Area over the ocean. What should the pilot do?
Answer: Check if the area is active and evaluate hazards before operating
Warning Areas are not regulatory airspace but contain hazards; pilots should check activity status and assess risk before operating.
What minimum visibility is required for Part 107 sUAS operations in Class G airspace below 10,000 feet MSL?
Answer: 3 statute miles
Part 107 requires a minimum flight visibility of 3 statute miles for UAS operations.
When must a Part 107 remote pilot check for NOTAMs prior to flight?
Answer: Before every flight, as NOTAMs may reveal TFRs or other restrictions
Pre-flight NOTAM checks are required before every flight to identify any TFRs, airspace restrictions, or hazards affecting the planned operation.
A drone is operating legally at 350 feet AGL in Class G airspace when a manned crop duster begins flying at 300 feet in the same area. The drone pilot should:
Answer: Immediately maneuver to avoid the manned aircraft and land if necessary
UAS must always yield right-of-way to manned aircraft; the pilot must maneuver to avoid conflict and may need to land to ensure safety.
