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.
Sellest kaardipakist
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.

Küsimus
What rule applies near any airport without controlled-airspace authorization requirements?
Vastus
The operation still may not interfere with airport traffic patterns or operations.
Kaart 151
Küsimus
How does traffic awareness differ with an operating tower versus a closed or nontowered airport?
Vastus
With an operating tower, monitor its published frequency and use the traffic picture it provides. When the tower is closed or absent, use the published CTAF and nontowered procedures. Monitoring never authorizes the UAS or replaces visual vigilance and other Part 107 duties.
Kaart 152
Küsimus
What does an alert area signal?
Vastus
A high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity. All pilots remain responsible for collision avoidance.
Kaart 153
Küsimus
What does IMSAFE check?
Vastus
Personal fitness through Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion.
Kaart 154
Küsimus

Kaart 157
Küsimus
What are the three steps of the 3P model?
Vastus
Perceive hazards, Process their effect on safety, and Perform the best risk control. Repeat as conditions change.
Kaart 158
Küsimus
What must a remote PIC do about a temporary flight restriction?
Vastus
Check current NOTAMs before flight and comply with the TFR unless specifically authorized otherwise.
Kaart 159
Küsimus
For §107.9 reporting, what counts as a serious injury?
Vastus
An injury at Abbreviated Injury Scale Level 3 or higher. Loss of consciousness remains a separate reporting trigger even without that injury classification.
Kaart 160
Küsimus
Why is a controlled firing area not charted?
Vastus
Its hazardous activity must stop when a spotter, radar, or lookout detects an approaching aircraft, so nonparticipating aircraft need not reroute around it.
Kaart 161
Küsimus
What are the legs and normal turn direction of a standard airport traffic pattern?
Vastus
Departure, upwind, crosswind, downwind, base, and final approach are distinct components; upwind is not another name for departure. Standard traffic uses left turns unless airport markings or current publications specify otherwise.
Kaart 162

Kaart 165
Küsimus
What night-lighting check belongs in the preflight inspection?
Vastus
Verify that the required anti-collision light works, is positioned and rated to remain visible for at least 3 statute miles, and has enough power for the planned flight and landing.
Kaart 166
Küsimus
How does increased load factor affect fixed-wing stall speed?
Vastus
Stall speed rises with the square root of load factor, so steep or abrupt maneuvers can cause a stall at a higher airspeed.
Kaart 167
Küsimus
What does an MTR identifier reveal?
Vastus
IR denotes an IFR route, and VR denotes a VFR route. Four digits mean no route segment is above 1,500 feet AGL, while three digits mean at least one segment is above 1,500 feet AGL; a trailing letter may identify an alternate route. Expect fast, low-altitude military traffic.
Kaart 168
Küsimus

Kaart 173
Küsimus
What should a remote pilot do about birds or other wildlife near the route?
Vastus
Avoid known concentrations and migration activity, then divert or land before a conflict develops. Report any wildlife strike through the FAA Wildlife Strike Database or Form 5200-7.
Kaart 174
Küsimus
What is situational awareness?
Vastus
An accurate understanding of the aircraft, crew, environment, mission, and how those conditions are likely to change.
Kaart 175
Küsimus
What colors normally distinguish runway and taxiway markings?
Vastus
Runway markings are white; taxiway markings are yellow. Holding-position markings are also yellow, even when placed on a runway.
Kaart 176
Küsimus
How does high density altitude affect a small UAS?
Vastus
Thinner air reduces propeller, wing, and cooling performance, often lowering payload, climb rate, and endurance.
Kaart 177
Küsimus
What is single-pilot resource management?
Vastus
Managing every available resource before and during flight so one pilot can maintain awareness, control workload, assess risk, and decide well.
Kaart 178
Küsimus
Which conditions raise density altitude?
Vastus
Higher elevation or lower pressure, higher temperature, and higher humidity.
Kaart 179
Küsimus
What is the minimum age for a remote pilot certificate?
Vastus

Vastus
Working harder while accomplishing less, missing inputs, or fixating on one item. Stop, slow down, prioritize, and reduce workload.
Kaart 181
Küsimus
May ADS-B Out be transmitted during a Part 107 operation?
Vastus
Not unless the FAA authorizes or directs it. ADS-B Out is also not a substitute for Remote ID.
Kaart 182
Küsimus
Where should a pilot look for frequent parachute-jump activity?
Vastus
The sectional chart and current Chart Supplement, then current NOTAMs for time-sensitive activity.
Kaart 183
Küsimus
Why should a small UAS never fly beneath an unmanned free balloon?
Vastus
Its payload suspension or trailing antenna may be hard to see and extend below the balloon. Stay well clear rather than passing underneath.
Kaart 184
Küsimus
What personal equipment should a remote pilot prepare for night operations?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 185
Küsimus
Why does high humidity reduce aircraft performance?
Vastus
Moist air is less dense than dry air, so the propellers or wings produce less force under otherwise equal conditions.
Kaart 186
Küsimus
Why are external pressures dangerous?
Vastus
Schedule, client, money, or pride can make a pilot discount weather, condition, or skill limits. A preplanned cancellation rule protects the decision.
Kaart 187
Küsimus
May someone take the initial Part 107 knowledge test before age 16?
Vastus
Yes, at age 14 or older. Certificate eligibility still begins at age 16.
Kaart 188
Küsimus
What is the usual first-time certification path without a qualifying Part 61 certificate?
Vastus
Pass the initial Unmanned Aircraft General—Small knowledge test, then complete the FAA application and vetting process.
Kaart 189
Küsimus
Why can high temperature shorten a battery-powered flight?
Vastus
The aircraft may need more power in less-dense air while the battery and electronics face greater thermal stress.
Kaart 190
Küsimus
How should the anti-authority attitude be countered?
Vastus
Pause and follow the applicable rule or procedure; do not dismiss it merely because someone else imposed it.
Kaart 191
Küsimus
What is a TRSA?
Vastus
A Terminal Radar Service Area where participating pilots may receive additional radar services. Participation is voluntary, and the underlying airspace classes still control Part 107 authorization.
Kaart 192
Küsimus
What do common airport beacon colors identify?
Vastus
A white-and-green beacon identifies a lighted land airport; a white-and-yellow beacon identifies a lighted water airport or seaplane base; and a green-yellow-white beacon identifies a lighted heliport.
Kaart 193
Küsimus
What alternative initial path is available to a qualifying Part 61 pilot?
Vastus
With a current Part 61 certificate and a flight review within the preceding 24 calendar months, complete the FAA initial online course and identity-validation process.
Kaart 194
Küsimus
What can a rapidly falling barometric pressure signal?
Vastus
Approaching poor weather or a developing storm system. It is a trend to investigate, not a go/no-go answer by itself.
Kaart 195
Küsimus
How should impulsivity be countered?
Vastus
Slow down long enough to identify the hazard, options, and safest next action.
Kaart 196
Küsimus
What is a National Security Area?
Vastus
Airspace where pilots are asked to avoid flight to protect sensitive ground facilities; a NOTAM may temporarily make avoidance mandatory.
Kaart 197
Küsimus
What should a remote pilot extract from tower transmissions?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 198
Küsimus
How recent must Part 107 aeronautical knowledge be?
Vastus
The remote pilot must have completed an accepted initial or recurrent path within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Kaart 199
Küsimus
How does a strong headwind affect the return leg?
Vastus
It lowers groundspeed and increases the time and energy needed to return. Plan reserve for the worst expected leg, not the easy outbound leg.
Kaart 200
Küsimus
How should invulnerability be countered?
Vastus
Treat the hazard as personally relevant: the same failure can happen on this flight.
Kaart 201
Küsimus
How do stable and unstable air usually differ?
Vastus
Stable air favors smooth conditions, stratiform clouds, haze, and steady precipitation; unstable air favors turbulence, vertical clouds, and showery precipitation.
Kaart 202
Küsimus
Which current FAA recurrent courses serve Part 107 pilots?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 203
Küsimus
What is a published VFR route?
Vastus
A charted route for moving around, under, or through complex airspace. It does not by itself authorize a Part 107 operation.
Kaart 204
Küsimus
What do red, green, and white position lights reveal about a crewed aircraft?
Vastus
Red marks its left side, green its right side, and white its tail. Use the pattern to judge direction; red on your right and green on your left can indicate that the aircraft is coming toward you.
Kaart 205
Küsimus
How should a macho attitude be countered?
Vastus
Reject the need to prove skill by taking risk; conservative choices demonstrate sound command.
Kaart 206
Küsimus
What is a temperature inversion?
Vastus
A layer where temperature increases with altitude. It is stable and can trap fog, haze, smoke, and pollutants near the surface.
Kaart 207
Küsimus
How long can full dark adaptation take?
Vastus
About 30 minutes in darkness. Bright light can undo it within seconds, so protect night vision before and during the operation.
Kaart 208
Küsimus
Does a current remote pilot retake the UAG test for routine recency?
Vastus
No. Current FAA recurrent training is completed online; the old recurrent knowledge-test model is obsolete.
Kaart 209
Küsimus
What counts toward the 55-pound small-UA limit?
Vastus
The aircraft and everything on board or attached at takeoff, including payload, guards, lights, and a Remote ID module.
Kaart 210
Küsimus
How soon may an applicant retake a failed Part 107 knowledge test?
Vastus
After 14 calendar days.
Kaart 211
Küsimus
How do source regions shape an air mass?
Vastus
The source region sets the air mass's basic temperature and moisture: continental air is dry, maritime air is moist, polar air is cold, and tropical air is warm.
Kaart 212
Küsimus
How should resignation be countered?
Vastus
Identify the actions and resources still available; the pilot can change the outcome.
Kaart 213
Küsimus
What happens 30 days after a permanent mailing-address change?
Vastus
The remote pilot may no longer exercise certificate privileges until the FAA has been notified of the new address.
Kaart 214
Küsimus
How can dehydration or heat stress affect a remote pilot?
Vastus
It can cause headache, cramps, dizziness, fatigue, poor concentration, and eventually collapse. Hydrate, cool down, and stop before judgment degrades.
Kaart 215
Küsimus
Why must NOTAMs be checked even with a current sectional?
Vastus
They carry time-critical changes such as TFRs, closures, outages, hazards, and procedures that may not appear on the chart.
Kaart 216
Küsimus
How can precipitation static affect a small UAS?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 217
Küsimus
How long may a temporary remote pilot certificate remain effective?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 218
Küsimus
What can follow cheating on a Part 107 knowledge test?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 219
Küsimus
How can operational stress affect a remote pilot?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 220
Küsimus
What do basic runway and taxiway light colors mean?
Vastus
Runway edge lights are normally white and taxiway edge lights blue. Threshold lights show green toward an arriving aircraft, while runway-end lights show red toward the runway.
Kaart 221
Küsimus
What should a pilot do when hyperventilating?
Vastus
Recognize the rapid breathing, consciously slow the breathing rate, speak or breathe deliberately, and stop the operation if normal function does not return.
Kaart 222
Küsimus
What should a night-flight contingency plan decide?
Vastus
How to stop or land safely after loss of required lighting, visual orientation, control link, or a safe view of traffic and obstacles. Preselect a suitable recovery area and brief the trigger for ending the flight.
Kaart 223
Küsimus
What does a narrowing temperature–dew point spread suggest?
Vastus
Air is approaching saturation, increasing the chance of fog, low clouds, dew, or precipitation.
Kaart 224
Küsimus
Does a remote pilot certificate itself expire?
Vastus
No, but its privileges require current aeronautical knowledge within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Kaart 225
Küsimus
How do mandatory-instruction and location signs differ?
Vastus
Mandatory-instruction signs have a red background with a white inscription. Location signs have a black background with a yellow inscription and border.
Kaart 226
Küsimus
What is LAANC used for?
Vastus
It is an FAA system for requesting near-real-time Part 107 airspace authorization at participating facilities, subject to the published altitude grid and operating conditions.
Kaart 227
Küsimus
How should a new medication be handled before flight?
Vastus
Do not assume over-the-counter means safe. Check the condition and medication effects, allow time to identify side effects, and avoid flying if judgment or alertness may be impaired.
Kaart 228
Küsimus
What must a Part 107 waiver applicant demonstrate?
Vastus
That the proposed operation can be conducted safely under the waiver's terms and conditions.
Kaart 229
Küsimus
How can fog form near the surface?
Vastus
When air cools to its dew point, moisture is added, or moist air moves over a colder surface. Light wind can help mix a shallow layer; strong wind may lift it into low stratus.
Kaart 230
Küsimus
What must be checked after attaching a payload?
Vastus
Total weight, center of gravity, security of attachment, control response, power demand, clearances, and any category or manufacturer limits.
Kaart 231
Küsimus
Why can fatigue be hard to self-detect?
Vastus
It reduces attention, coordination, communication, and judgment while also weakening the person's ability to recognize that decline.
Kaart 232
Küsimus
What do common obstruction-lighting systems look like at night?
Vastus
Aviation-red systems show red lights at night. Flashing-white systems use white lights, with reduced night intensity where applicable. Dual systems use white lights by day and red lights at night.
Kaart 233
Küsimus
Does a Part 107 waiver suspend every operating rule?
Vastus
No. It applies only to the specifically waived sections and remains subject to all listed conditions and limitations.
Kaart 234
Küsimus
Does an airspace authorization waive other Part 107 rules?
Vastus
No. It permits the specified controlled-airspace operation but does not waive altitude, VLOS, weather, TFR, airport-interference, or other requirements.
Kaart 235
Küsimus
How should a Part 107 crew handle laser activity or illumination?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 236
Küsimus
How should a pilot scan for traffic and obstacles?
Vastus
Use short, overlapping visual sectors with brief pauses instead of one continuous sweep, and move the scan between near and far areas.
Kaart 237
Küsimus
How should a remote pilot look for a dim object at night?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 238
Küsimus
What is prohibited regarding Part 107 certificates, records, and reports?
Vastus
Fraudulent or intentionally false statements, reproduction for a fraudulent purpose, and alteration.
Kaart 239
Küsimus
What kinds of Part 107 rules may an FAA waiver address?
Vastus
Only the rules listed in §107.205: moving operations; night or civil-twilight anti-collision lighting; VLOS, visual-observer, and one-aircraft limits; yielding and flight over people or moving vehicles; controlled-airspace authorization; and §107.51 operating limits. Moving-operation and VLOS waivers can't authorize compensated carriage of another person's property.
Kaart 240
Küsimus
When may a drone fly over a person without using Category 1–4?
Vastus
When the person directly participates in the operation, or is under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle that provides reasonable protection from a falling drone.
Kaart 241
Küsimus
What changes should be expected near a front?

Temperature, wind, moisture, clouds, and precipitation can change quickly across the boundary between air masses.
Kaart 242
Küsimus
What is the first concern when operating near an airport traffic pattern?
Vastus
Avoid interfering with crewed-aircraft operations and maintain awareness of arrivals, departures, and the published traffic pattern.
Kaart 243
Küsimus
Does an older manufacture date automatically bar a drone from Part 107 use?
Vastus
No. It may operate if it meets all current requirements that apply to the operation, including registration, Remote ID, condition, and any operations-over-people category.
Kaart 244
Küsimus
What is autokinesis?
Vastus
A stationary light can appear to move when stared at against a dark background. Shift the gaze and use other references instead of fixating.
Kaart 245
Küsimus
Does Part 107 set one universal stand-off distance from people?
Vastus
No. The remote PIC selects and adjusts a safe distance from the aircraft's path, speed, maneuverability, environment, people, likely failures, and emergency landing options.
Kaart 246
Küsimus
Why is a battery reserve part of performance planning?
Vastus
Wind, temperature, maneuvering, holding, and an alternate landing area can consume more energy than the nominal mission estimate.
Kaart 247
Küsimus
What makes a microburst dangerous near the surface?
Vastus
It is an intense, localized downdraft that spreads outward at the surface, producing rapid vertical and horizontal wind shear with little low-altitude recovery margin.
Kaart 248
Küsimus
What makes a drone eligible for Category 1 operations over people?
Vastus
It must weigh 0.55 pound or less throughout the operation, including attachments, and have no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin.
Kaart 249
Küsimus
How do buildings and terrain affect low-level wind?
Vastus
They can create gusts, rotors, downdrafts, and turbulence downwind. The stronger the wind and larger the obstacle, the greater the hazard.
Kaart 250
Küsimus
Why should a small UAS stay clear of smoke-stack and cooling-tower plumes?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 251
Küsimus
What is a false-horizon illusion?
Vastus
Sloping clouds, terrain, or lights can be mistaken for the true horizon, leading to an incorrect attitude judgment.
Kaart 252
Küsimus
What should an operations-over-people contingency plan decide?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 253
Küsimus
From where is Part 107 flight visibility measured?
Vastus
From the location of the control station, not from a nearby airport weather sensor.
Kaart 254
Küsimus
What injury threshold defines Category 2 eligibility?
Vastus
The aircraft must not cause injury equivalent to or greater than the severity caused by transferring 11 foot-pounds of kinetic energy upon impact from a rigid object. It must also meet the rule's rotating-part and safety-defect requirements.
Kaart 255
Küsimus
What is the baseline source for small-UAS maintenance?
Vastus
The current manufacturer or builder instructions, supplemented by the operator's inspection and maintenance program for the actual use and environment.
Kaart 256
Küsimus
Why is low-level wind shear dangerous to a small UAS?
Vastus
A rapid change in wind speed or direction can abruptly change airspeed, lift, attitude, and ground track close to obstacles or terrain.
Kaart 257
Küsimus
Why are guy wires a serious low-altitude hazard?
Vastus
They can extend far from a tower and remain nearly invisible even in good weather. Give towers and their support systems wide clearance.
Kaart 258
Küsimus
What injury threshold defines Category 3 eligibility?
Vastus
The aircraft must not cause injury equivalent to or greater than the severity caused by transferring 25 foot-pounds of kinetic energy upon impact from a rigid object. It must also meet the rule's rotating-part and safety-defect requirements.
Kaart 259
Küsimus
Which data controls an aircraft's exact loading limits?
Vastus
The current manufacturer or builder operating instructions and limitations for that aircraft and configuration.
Kaart 260
Küsimus
Who may perform maintenance on a Part 107 small UAS?
Vastus
Part 107 generally doesn't require an FAA mechanic certificate. Follow manufacturer-required personnel or use someone with suitable expertise; Category 4 separately requires the person to have the knowledge, skill, and appropriate equipment under §107.140(c).
Kaart 261
Küsimus
What makes a tornado a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 262
Küsimus
What is the core requirement for Category 4 operations over people?
Vastus
The aircraft must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and be operated and maintained under its approved operating limitations.
Kaart 263
Küsimus
What should Category 2 or 3 remote-pilot operating instructions tell the pilot?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 264
Küsimus
Why can an unlighted structure be more hazardous at night?
Vastus
Its silhouette and support wires may disappear against the background. Chart review, site inspection, lighting checks, and conservative separation become more important.
Kaart 265
Küsimus
Why is hail a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 266
Küsimus
What performance check follows a repair or configuration change?
Vastus
Verify weight, balance, control response, power, links, sensors, and expected endurance in a safe environment before returning to the planned mission.
Kaart 267
Küsimus
When may a Category 2 or 3 drone carry an optional component or payload?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 268
Küsimus
What is the Part 107 response to an emergency airborne inspection of another aircraft?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 269
Küsimus
Why should a small UAS avoid lightning activity?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 270
Küsimus
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?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 271
Küsimus
How do an operations-over-people MOC and DOC differ?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 272
Küsimus
Why must frost or structural icing be removed before flight?
Vastus
It disrupts airflow, reduces lift, adds weight, increases drag, and can degrade propeller or control-surface performance.
Kaart 273
Küsimus
What hazards peak in a mature thunderstorm?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 274
Küsimus
Where may a Category 3 drone operate over people?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 275
Küsimus
What maintenance records are required for Category 4?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 276
Küsimus
What should the remote PIC evaluate when selecting an area for operations over people?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 277
Küsimus
When may a Category 4 drone operate over people inside moving vehicles?
Vastus
Only when the aircraft has the required airworthiness certificate and its operating limitations don't prohibit operations over people inside moving vehicles.
Kaart 278
Küsimus
How can a modification affect operations-over-people eligibility?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 279
Küsimus
Are maintenance records useful when Part 107 doesn't require Category 4 records?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 280
Küsimus
What must be satisfied for a Part 107 operation over people at night?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 281
Küsimus
How long must Category 2 or 3 MOC and DOC support records be kept?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 282
Küsimus
What must the remote PIC check on a Category 2 or 3 aircraft?
Vastus
The required category label, FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance listing, current operating instructions, required components, and condition for safe operation.
Kaart 283
Küsimus
When may a Category 1, 2, or 3 drone operate over moving vehicles?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 284
Küsimus
May a drone qualify for more than one operations-over-people category?
Vastus
Yes, but it must not be able to switch inadvertently into a configuration that fails the category being used.
Kaart 285
Küsimus
Who becomes the applicant for a self-built or materially modified Category 2 or 3 drone?
Vastus
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.
Kaart 286
Küsimus
What should follow maintenance before a normal mission?
Vastus
Document the work as appropriate, inspect the aircraft, verify correct assembly and software settings, and perform a controlled functional check.
