The “yellow demarcation bar” marking indicates
runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway
Under what operational condition may you be approved to fly without remote identification capability?
If the operation is being conducted for aeronautical research
In a 45-degree banking turn, a small unmanned aircraft will…
stall at a higher airspeed
NOTE: An aircraft in a steep bank angle can stall their aircraft at a higher speed versus flying in straight and level flight.
You are inspecting a tower that has a top of 1200 feet AGL. What is the maximum altitude you can fly when operating within 50 feet of this structure?
1600 feet AGL
When an air traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12-hour clock, the reference the controller uses is the aircraft’s
Ground track
When may a remote pilot reduce the intensity of an aircraft’s lights during a night flight?
When it is in the interest of safety to dim the aircraft’s lights
Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?
Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency
A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the
primary airport’s control tower
Before each flight, the Remote PIC must ensure that
Objects carried on the sUAS are secure
For information about the parachute jumping at Caddo Mills Airport, refer to
the Chart Supplement
NOTE: the “Chart Supplement”, formerly known as the “Airport/Facility Directory”, has very detailed information about airports. This where you would expect to find parachute jumping information about an airport.
When using the PAVE checklist, you want to evaluate the risks involving the…
Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures
The effective use of all available resources—human, hardware, and information—prior to and during flight to ensure the successful outcome of the operation is called
Crew Resource Management
NOTE: phase that always leads me to Crew Resource Management: “…all available resources…”
You are monitoring the CTAF while operating just west of the airport runway when you hear a manned aircraft announce they are taking off from runway 27 and entering the left traffic pattern. What should you do?
Yield to the manned aircraft because it’s flight pattern is in the area of your operation
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits
two quick, white flashes between green flashes
NOTE: Normal “civilian” airports only have one WHITE flash, followed by one GREEN flash before starting over again.
The numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
090° and 270° magnetic
NOTE: Runways are oriented with their MAGNETIC heading, NOT true heading!
What actions should the operator of an sUAS do if the manufacturer does not provide information about scheduled maintenance?
The operator should establish a scheduled maintenance protocol
One of the purposes for issuing a Temporary Flight restriction (TFR) is to
protect public figures
You plan to release golf balls from your small UA at an altitude of 100 feet AGL. You must ensure the objects being dropped will
not create an undue hazard to persons or property
Scheduled maintenance should be performed in accordance with the…
Manufacturer’s suggested procedures
A person whose sole task is watching the sUAS to report hazards to the rest of the crew is called a…
visual observer
Which category of PAVE can cause pilots to ignore all of the other risk categories?
The external pressures of the flight
You can use the IMSAFE checklist to….
evaluate your condition as the remote pilot before a flight
According to 14 CFR part 107, what is required to operate a small UA within 30 minutes after official sunset?
Use of anti-collision lights
Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, or LAANC, gives you…
nearly instantaneous airspace authorization to fly your drone in controlled airspace
