UAS Mission Planning 2

Question 1

When planning a UAS mission over a populated area, which factor most directly determines the required minimum altitude for operations?

Accepted Answer

Risk to persons and property on the ground

Answer

Minimum altitude over populated areas is driven by the risk mitigation needed to protect persons and property on the ground.

Question 2

A remote pilot is planning a survey mission that will require flying beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). Under FAA Part 107, what is required?

Accepted Answer

A waiver from the FAA must be obtained before the flight

Answer

BVLOS operations require an FAA waiver under 14 CFR Part 107.31 before the flight can be conducted.

Question 3

During pre-mission planning, a pilot identifies a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) that temporarily restricts the planned flight area. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Reschedule or reroute the mission to avoid the restricted area

Answer

A NOTAM establishing a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) legally prohibits flight in that airspace unless the pilot has specific authorization.

Question 4

Which document should a remote pilot review to determine the noise-sensitive or protected areas near a planned mission site?

Accepted Answer

Local zoning maps and ordinances

Answer

Local zoning maps and ordinances identify noise-sensitive zones such as hospitals, schools, and parks that may restrict or complicate UAS operations.

Question 5

A mission requires flying over an active construction site with workers present. Under Part 107, this is considered flying over which category of people?

Accepted Answer

Non-participating persons

Answer

Construction workers who are not part of and have not consented to the UAS operation are classified as non-participating persons under Part 107.
