  1. A Part 107 remote pilot is hired to photograph a construction site. The site is within 5 miles of a public airport. Which step is required?

    Answer: Receive ATC authorization via LAANC or FAA DroneZone

    Operations in controlled airspace near airports require ATC authorization, obtainable through LAANC or FAA DroneZone.

  2. Which Part 107 section establishes the prohibition on careless or reckless UAS operations?

    Answer: 107.23

    Section 107.23 prohibits careless or reckless operation that endangers the life or property of another.

  3. Under Part 107, who bears ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of a small UAS?

    Answer: The remote pilot in command

    The remote pilot in command is directly responsible for and is the final authority on the safe operation of the sUAS.

  4. A state law bans all UAS flights over state parks. Under federal preemption principles, this law is:

    Answer: Likely preempted by federal law if it regulates airspace

    Laws that attempt to regulate the airspace above state land are likely preempted because airspace regulation is exclusively federal.

  5. What is the minimum safe distance a remote pilot must maintain from a cloud under Part 107?

    Answer: 500 feet below and 1,000 feet horizontally

    Part 107 requires sUAS to remain at least 500 feet below and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds.

  6. A remote pilot is offered a charter flight contract that requires the UAS to carry passengers. This operation is:

    Answer: Prohibited; Part 107 does not allow carriage of persons

    Part 107 explicitly prohibits carrying hazardous materials or persons, so passenger carriage is not permitted under any waiver.

  7. When must a remote pilot complete a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test to maintain Part 107 currency?

    Answer: Every 24 calendar months

    Remote pilot certificates require a recurrent knowledge test every 24 calendar months to remain current.
