UAS Flight Operations 3

Question 1

Which type of airspace requires a remote PIC to obtain prior authorization before operating a sUAS?

Accepted Answer

Class B, C, D, and surface Class E airspace

Answer

Part 107 requires authorization from ATC to operate in Class B, C, D, and surface Class E (designated) airspace.

Question 2

What effect does high density altitude have on sUAS performance?

Accepted Answer

Reduced lift efficiency and decreased battery endurance

Answer

High density altitude means less dense air, which reduces rotor lift efficiency and forces motors to work harder, draining batteries faster.

Question 3

A remote PIC wants to fly over a moving vehicle on a public road. Under standard Part 107 rules (without a waiver), this operation is:

Accepted Answer

Permitted because people inside vehicles are not considered 'open-air assemblies'

Answer

Part 107 prohibits flight over moving vehicles on public roads without a waiver, as they are considered similar to operations over people not under a covered structure.

Question 4

What information is typically included in a NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) relevant to sUAS operators?

Accepted Answer

Temporary flight restrictions, airspace changes, and hazards to navigation

Answer

NOTAMs alert pilots, including remote PICs, to TFRs, airspace modifications, obstacle additions, and other short-notice hazards.

Question 5

During a sUAS flight, the remote PIC observes the aircraft beginning to drift uncontrollably into a restricted area. What is the FIRST priority?

Accepted Answer

Attempt to regain control, and if unsuccessful, activate RTH or land immediately

Answer

The remote PIC's first duty is to regain control or safely terminate the flight to prevent a collision or airspace violation.
