FAA Part 107 Flashcards: Remote Pilot Knowledge Test Review
Review the current FAA Part 107 knowledge areas with concise recall, practical scenarios, airspace and weather interpretation, operating limits, and recency rules.
O tomto balíčku
Prepare for the FAA Remote Pilot knowledge test and keep core Part 107 decisions fresh. These 286 independently written cards cover every current ACS knowledge area, moving from foundational rules into airspace, weather reports, aircraft loading and performance, airport awareness, emergencies, operations over people, Remote ID, aeronautical decision-making, maintenance, and recurrent knowledge.
The cards practice rule-to-action, cue-to-meaning, code-to-interpretation, and short scenario-to-decision recall. Most prompts isolate one fact or decision; a few compact sets cover material learners naturally recall together, such as phonetic-alphabet chunks and radio phraseology. Unhelpful reverse variants and chart-dependent problems are excluded. The deterministic sequence teaches prerequisites before dependent ideas, interleaves the five public groups, and separates confusing variants. Initial certification and recurrent training are treated as separate paths, with current requirements reviewed against official sources on August 25, 2026. FAA-S-ACS-10B remains the current indexed topic guide; the current UAG Applicant Information Bulletin governs test distribution.
License scope: “Common knowledge · CC0 1.0” applies only to this deck’s independently written prompts, answers, examples, organization, and metadata, to the extent rights exist. It does not claim ownership of facts, laws, FAA names or publications, third-party marks, or source material.
Independent and unofficial; not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the FAA, DOT, PSI, or any testing provider. No FAA or competitor test questions, answer choices, commercial-deck text, charts, logos, or third-party media were copied. Regulatory definitions and rules were independently condensed and may retain legally necessary terminology. Verify current requirements with the FAA certification path, Remote Pilot ACS, current UAG Applicant Information Bulletin, FAA study guide, and 14 CFR Part 107.

Otázka
Where should a pilot look for frequent parachute-jump activity?
Odpověď
The sectional chart and current Chart Supplement, then current NOTAMs for time-sensitive activity.
Kartička 183
Otázka
Why should a small UAS never fly beneath an unmanned free balloon?
Odpověď
Its payload suspension or trailing antenna may be hard to see and extend below the balloon. Stay well clear rather than passing underneath.
Kartička 184
Otázka
What personal equipment should a remote pilot prepare for night operations?
Odpověď
Keep a reliable dimmable white or red flashlight, fresh or spare batteries, and needed charts and checklists accessible. This is an operator-equipment recommendation, separate from the aircraft-lighting rule in §107.29.
Kartička 185
Otázka
Why does high humidity reduce aircraft performance?
Odpověď
Moist air is less dense than dry air, so the propellers or wings produce less force under otherwise equal conditions.
Kartička 186
Otázka
Why are external pressures dangerous?
Odpověď
Schedule, client, money, or pride can make a pilot discount weather, condition, or skill limits. A preplanned cancellation rule protects the decision.
Kartička 187

Odpověď
Airspace where pilots are asked to avoid flight to protect sensitive ground facilities; a NOTAM may temporarily make avoidance mandatory.
Kartička 197
Otázka
What should a remote pilot extract from tower transmissions?
Odpověď
Identify the aircraft, its position or runway, direction, altitude when stated, and the controller's instruction or the pilot's intention. Use that traffic picture to remain clear; monitoring does not authorize the UAS or replace visual vigilance.
Kartička 198
Otázka
How recent must Part 107 aeronautical knowledge be?
Odpověď
The remote pilot must have completed an accepted initial or recurrent path within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Kartička 199
Otázka
How does a strong headwind affect the return leg?
Odpověď
It lowers groundspeed and increases the time and energy needed to return. Plan reserve for the worst expected leg, not the easy outbound leg.
Kartička 200
Otázka
How should invulnerability be countered?
Odpověď
Treat the hazard as personally relevant: the same failure can happen on this flight.
Kartička 201
Otázka
How do stable and unstable air usually differ?
Odpověď
Stable air favors smooth conditions, stratiform clouds, haze, and steady precipitation; unstable air favors turbulence, vertical clouds, and showery precipitation.
Kartička 202
Otázka
Which current FAA recurrent courses serve Part 107 pilots?
Odpověď
ALC-677 is available to Part 107 certificate holders generally; ALC-515 is the recurrent path for a qualifying current Part 61 pilot with a current flight review.

Odpověď
They carry time-critical changes such as TFRs, closures, outages, hazards, and procedures that may not appear on the chart.
Kartička 216
Otázka
How can precipitation static affect a small UAS?
Odpověď
Charge from rain, snow, fog, dust, or similar particles can interfere with radios, sensors, or the control link. Avoid the condition and follow the aircraft's limits rather than relying on recovery after interference starts.
Kartička 217
Otázka
How long may a temporary remote pilot certificate remain effective?
Odpověď
Up to 120 calendar days. It ends sooner at the earliest of its printed expiration date, receipt of the permanent certificate, or receipt of notice that the sought certificate is denied or revoked.
Kartička 218
Otázka
What can follow cheating on a Part 107 knowledge test?
Odpověď
For one year, the person is prohibited from applying for any FAA certificate, rating, or authorization and from applying for or taking any FAA test. A held certificate or rating may also be suspended or revoked.
Kartička 219
Otázka
How can operational stress affect a remote pilot?
Odpověď
It can narrow attention, cause fixation or haste, and degrade judgment. Reduce workload, pause and reassess, or delay or cancel the flight when stress compromises safe decisions.
Kartička 220

Kartička 235
Otázka
How should a Part 107 crew handle laser activity or illumination?
Odpověď
Avoid known or NOTAMed laser activity. If the remote pilot or control station is illuminated, look away, protect vision, and land or terminate if vision or control is affected. If you witness a laser illuminate any aircraft, record useful details and report the incident through the applicable FAA channel.
Kartička 236
Otázka
How should a pilot scan for traffic and obstacles?
Odpověď
Use short, overlapping visual sectors with brief pauses instead of one continuous sweep, and move the scan between near and far areas.
Kartička 237
Otázka
How should a remote pilot look for a dim object at night?
Odpověď
Look about 5° to 10° to one side instead of staring straight at it. Off-center viewing puts the image on rod-rich retina outside the central night blind spot.
Kartička 238
Otázka
What is prohibited regarding Part 107 certificates, records, and reports?
Odpověď
Fraudulent or intentionally false statements, reproduction for a fraudulent purpose, and alteration.

They can create gusts, rotors, downdrafts, and turbulence downwind. The stronger the wind and larger the obstacle, the greater the hazard.
Kartička 250
Otázka
Why should a small UAS stay clear of smoke-stack and cooling-tower plumes?
Odpověď
Visible or invisible hot exhaust can create turbulence, vertical shear, reduced visibility, contamination, and icing. Stay clear—preferably upwind—because the plume's extent is hard to predict.
Kartička 251
Otázka
What is a false-horizon illusion?
Odpověď
Sloping clouds, terrain, or lights can be mistaken for the true horizon, leading to an incorrect attitude judgment.
Kartička 252
Otázka
What should an operations-over-people contingency plan decide?
Odpověď
When to stop, divert, or land away from people after lost link, component failure, an eligibility-changing configuration issue, or unexpected crowd movement—and who will call and execute that action.
Kartička 253
Otázka

Otázka
What makes a tornado a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Odpověď
It combines extreme, rapidly changing winds, violent vertical motion, debris, and an unpredictable path. Stay well clear of any tornado or tornado-producing storm; don't try to observe it from the air.
Kartička 262
Otázka
What is the core requirement for Category 4 operations over people?
Odpověď
The aircraft must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and be operated and maintained under its approved operating limitations.
Kartička 263
Otázka
What should Category 2 or 3 remote-pilot operating instructions tell the pilot?
Odpověď
They should describe the system and its limitations; eligible categories and required components; allowed modifications; and how to verify or change the applicable configuration or operating mode.
Kartička 264
Otázka
Why can an unlighted structure be more hazardous at night?
Odpověď
Its silhouette and support wires may disappear against the background. Chart review, site inspection, lighting checks, and conservative separation become more important.
Kartička 265
Otázka
Why is hail a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Odpověď
It can damage propellers, rotors, sensors, antennas, batteries, and the airframe, while nearby convective turbulence and downdrafts can overwhelm control. Avoid any storm producing or forecast to produce hail.
Kartička 266
Otázka
What performance check follows a repair or configuration change?
Odpověď
Verify weight, balance, control response, power, links, sensors, and expected endurance in a safe environment before returning to the planned mission.
Kartička 267
Otázka
When may a Category 2 or 3 drone carry an optional component or payload?
Odpověď
Only when the remote pilot operating instructions allow that component, payload, or modification for the declared configuration. It must remain securely attached and within every listed limitation.
Kartička 268
Otázka
What is the Part 107 response to an emergency airborne inspection of another aircraft?
Odpověď
Stay clear and yield; don't improvise a close pass. Proximity, wake or downwash, stress, communications, separation, and escape-path risks can endanger both aircraft.
Kartička 269
Otázka
Why should a small UAS avoid lightning activity?
Odpověď
A strike or nearby electrical discharge can damage electronics, interrupt navigation or control links, and injure people on the ground. Stay clear of thunderstorms and land or delay when lightning threatens the operating area.
Kartička 270
Otázka
For Part 107 Category 1, 2, or 4 sustained flight over an open-air assembly, which Remote ID methods qualify, and what is the Category 3 rule?
Odpověď
Use either a Standard Remote ID aircraft that meets §89.110 or a broadcast-module operation that meets §89.115(a). A nonbroadcast FRIA operation under §89.115(b) does not qualify, and Category 3 operations over an open-air assembly are prohibited.
Kartička 271
Otázka
How do an operations-over-people MOC and DOC differ?
Odpověď
An MOC is the FAA-accepted test, analysis, or inspection method. A DOC identifies that MOC and attests that the declared aircraft or configuration meets the applicable Category 2 or 3 and safety-defect requirements.
Kartička 272
Otázka
Why must frost or structural icing be removed before flight?
Odpověď
It disrupts airflow, reduces lift, adds weight, increases drag, and can degrade propeller or control-surface performance.
Kartička 273
Otázka
What hazards peak in a mature thunderstorm?
Odpověď
Strong updrafts and downdrafts, severe turbulence, gust fronts, microbursts, hail, lightning, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes. Avoid the storm rather than trying to judge a safe path through it.
Kartička 274
Otázka
Where may a Category 3 drone operate over people?
Odpověď
At a closed or restricted-access site with notice to entrants, or without sustained flight over people except for participants or people protected by a structure or stationary vehicle.
Kartička 275
Otázka
What maintenance records are required for Category 4?
Odpověď
Record the work, date, and person for one year or until the work is repeated or superseded. Retain life-limited-part, inspection, and airworthiness-directive status and transfer those status records with the aircraft.
Kartička 276
Otázka
What should the remote PIC evaluate when selecting an area for operations over people?
Odpověď
Evaluate people, moving vehicles and vessels; terrain and structures; the planned path, aircraft performance, and maneuverability; weather; likely failures, escape routes, and emergency landing options; and the pilot's familiarity with the site. Reassess as conditions change.
Kartička 277
Otázka
When may a Category 4 drone operate over people inside moving vehicles?
Odpověď
Only when the aircraft has the required airworthiness certificate and its operating limitations don't prohibit operations over people inside moving vehicles.
Kartička 278
Otázka
How can a modification affect operations-over-people eligibility?
Odpověď
A change to weight, structure, rotating parts, software, or required components can invalidate the demonstrated category unless the current approval and instructions cover that configuration.
Kartička 279
Otázka
Are maintenance records useful when Part 107 doesn't require Category 4 records?
Odpověď
Yes. FAA guidance recommends logging inspections, repairs, alterations, software changes, component time, and return-to-service checks. Category 4 has a separate mandatory record system.
Kartička 280
Otázka
What must be satisfied for a Part 107 operation over people at night?
Odpověď
Both the applicable Subpart D category rules and §107.29 night rules must be met. The remote PIC needs the applicable night knowledge or training, and the aircraft must stay in an eligible configuration with any operating instructions followed and an anti-collision light visible for at least 3 statute miles with a sufficient flash rate.
Kartička 281
Otázka
How long must Category 2 or 3 MOC and DOC support records be kept?
Odpověď
A DOC producer keeps supporting data for two years after production ends; a designer or modifier keeps it for two years after submitting the DOC. An MOC submitter keeps its description and justification while the MOC remains FAA-accepted.
Kartička 282
Otázka
What must the remote PIC check on a Category 2 or 3 aircraft?
Odpověď
The required category label, FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance listing, current operating instructions, required components, and condition for safe operation.
Kartička 283
Otázka
When may a Category 1, 2, or 3 drone operate over moving vehicles?
Odpověď
At a closed- or restricted-access site where everyone inside a moving vehicle is on notice, or when the aircraft does not maintain sustained flight over moving vehicles. A brief, one-time transit can be incidental; hovering, circling, or repeated back-and-forth passes are sustained flight.
Kartička 284
Otázka
May a drone qualify for more than one operations-over-people category?
Odpověď
Yes, but it must not be able to switch inadvertently into a configuration that fails the category being used.
Kartička 285
Otázka
Who becomes the applicant for a self-built or materially modified Category 2 or 3 drone?
Odpověď
The person who produces, designs, builds from separate components, or makes an eligibility-changing modification. Before Category 2 or 3 operations, that applicant must show compliance through an FAA-accepted MOC and submit a new DOC.
Kartička 286
Otázka
What should follow maintenance before a normal mission?
Odpověď
Document the work as appropriate, inspect the aircraft, verify correct assembly and software settings, and perform a controlled functional check.
