UAS Safety Protocols 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

3 statute miles

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Cease all UAS operations immediately and comply with the TFR

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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