  1. Under FAA regulations, what is the minimum visibility required for sUAS operations under Part 107?

    Answer: 3 statute miles

    Part 107 requires a minimum flight visibility of 3 statute miles from the remote pilot's location.

  2. A remote pilot notices a manned aircraft approaching while operating a drone at 300 feet AGL. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Immediately land the drone or maneuver away to yield right-of-way

    sUAS must always yield right-of-way to all manned aircraft, requiring immediate evasive action or landing.

  3. Which of the following best describes a 'lost link' emergency procedure for a UAS?

    Answer: The drone executes a pre-programmed failsafe action such as returning to home or landing

    A pre-programmed failsafe (return-to-home or auto-land) is activated when the control link is lost to minimize hazard.

  4. When operating near a wildfire suppression operation, a remote pilot receives a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) notice. What must the pilot do?

    Answer: Cease all UAS operations immediately and comply with the TFR

    UAS flight within a wildfire TFR is prohibited without specific authorization, requiring immediate cessation of operations.

  5. What is the purpose of a pre-flight risk assessment in UAS safety protocols?

    Answer: To identify hazards, assess likelihood and severity, and apply mitigations before the flight

    A pre-flight risk assessment systematically identifies hazards and applies mitigations to reduce the probability or severity of incidents.

  6. A remote pilot experiences a flyaway where the drone is no longer responding to controls. Which immediate action is most appropriate?

    Answer: Activate return-to-home, monitor the drone's flight path, and warn bystanders

    Activating RTH, monitoring the drone, and alerting bystanders addresses safety while attempting to recover the aircraft.

  7. Under Part 107, a remote pilot is required to report an accident to the FAA within how many calendar days if there is serious injury or property damage over $500?

    Answer: 10 calendar days

    Part 107.9 requires the remote pilot-in-command to report accidents involving serious injury or significant property damage within 10 calendar days.
