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.
Tietoja tästä pakasta
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.

Vastaus
The operation still may not interfere with airport traffic patterns or operations.
Kortti 151
Kysymys
How does traffic awareness differ with an operating tower versus a closed or nontowered airport?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 152
Kysymys
What does an alert area signal?
Vastaus
A high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity. All pilots remain responsible for collision avoidance.
Kortti 153
Kysymys
What does IMSAFE check?
Vastaus
Personal fitness through Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion.
Kortti 154

Check current NOTAMs before flight and comply with the TFR unless specifically authorized otherwise.
Kortti 159
Kysymys
For §107.9 reporting, what counts as a serious injury?
Vastaus
An injury at Abbreviated Injury Scale Level 3 or higher. Loss of consciousness remains a separate reporting trigger even without that injury classification.
Kortti 160
Kysymys
Why is a controlled firing area not charted?
Vastaus
Its hazardous activity must stop when a spotter, radar, or lookout detects an approaching aircraft, so nonparticipating aircraft need not reroute around it.
Kortti 161
Kysymys
What are the legs and normal turn direction of a standard airport traffic pattern?
Vastaus
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.

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.
Kortti 166
Kysymys
How does increased load factor affect fixed-wing stall speed?
Vastaus
Stall speed rises with the square root of load factor, so steep or abrupt maneuvers can cause a stall at a higher airspeed.
Kortti 167
Kysymys
What does an MTR identifier reveal?
Vastaus
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.

Runway markings are white; taxiway markings are yellow. Holding-position markings are also yellow, even when placed on a runway.
Kortti 176
Kysymys
How does high density altitude affect a small UAS?
Vastaus
Thinner air reduces propeller, wing, and cooling performance, often lowering payload, climb rate, and endurance.
Kortti 177
Kysymys
What is single-pilot resource management?
Vastaus
Managing every available resource before and during flight so one pilot can maintain awareness, control workload, assess risk, and decide well.
Kortti 178
Kysymys
Which conditions raise density altitude?
Vastaus
Higher elevation or lower pressure, higher temperature, and higher humidity.
Kortti 179
Kysymys
What is the minimum age for a remote pilot certificate?

Working harder while accomplishing less, missing inputs, or fixating on one item. Stop, slow down, prioritize, and reduce workload.
Kortti 181
Kysymys
May ADS-B Out be transmitted during a Part 107 operation?
Vastaus
Not unless the FAA authorizes or directs it. ADS-B Out is also not a substitute for Remote ID.
Kortti 182
Kysymys
Where should a pilot look for frequent parachute-jump activity?
Vastaus
The sectional chart and current Chart Supplement, then current NOTAMs for time-sensitive activity.
Kortti 183
Kysymys
Why should a small UAS never fly beneath an unmanned free balloon?
Vastaus
Its payload suspension or trailing antenna may be hard to see and extend below the balloon. Stay well clear rather than passing underneath.
Kortti 184
Kysymys
What personal equipment should a remote pilot prepare for night operations?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 185
Kysymys
Why does high humidity reduce aircraft performance?
Vastaus
Moist air is less dense than dry air, so the propellers or wings produce less force under otherwise equal conditions.
Kortti 186
Kysymys
Why are external pressures dangerous?
Vastaus
Schedule, client, money, or pride can make a pilot discount weather, condition, or skill limits. A preplanned cancellation rule protects the decision.
Kortti 187
Kysymys
May someone take the initial Part 107 knowledge test before age 16?
Vastaus
Yes, at age 14 or older. Certificate eligibility still begins at age 16.
Kortti 188
Kysymys
What is the usual first-time certification path without a qualifying Part 61 certificate?
Vastaus
Pass the initial Unmanned Aircraft General—Small knowledge test, then complete the FAA application and vetting process.

Kysymys
Why can high temperature shorten a battery-powered flight?
Vastaus
The aircraft may need more power in less-dense air while the battery and electronics face greater thermal stress.
Kortti 190
Kysymys
How should the anti-authority attitude be countered?
Vastaus
Pause and follow the applicable rule or procedure; do not dismiss it merely because someone else imposed it.
Kortti 191
Kysymys
What is a TRSA?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 192
Kysymys
What do common airport beacon colors identify?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 193
Kysymys
What alternative initial path is available to a qualifying Part 61 pilot?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 194
Kysymys
What can a rapidly falling barometric pressure signal?
Vastaus
Approaching poor weather or a developing storm system. It is a trend to investigate, not a go/no-go answer by itself.
Kortti 195
Kysymys
How should impulsivity be countered?
Vastaus
Slow down long enough to identify the hazard, options, and safest next action.
Kortti 196
Kysymys
What is a National Security Area?
Vastaus
Airspace where pilots are asked to avoid flight to protect sensitive ground facilities; a NOTAM may temporarily make avoidance mandatory.
Kortti 197
Kysymys
What should a remote pilot extract from tower transmissions?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 198
Kysymys
How recent must Part 107 aeronautical knowledge be?
Vastaus
The remote pilot must have completed an accepted initial or recurrent path within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Kortti 199
Kysymys
How does a strong headwind affect the return leg?
Vastaus
It lowers groundspeed and increases the time and energy needed to return. Plan reserve for the worst expected leg, not the easy outbound leg.
Kortti 200
Kysymys
How should invulnerability be countered?
Vastaus
Treat the hazard as personally relevant: the same failure can happen on this flight.
Kortti 201
Kysymys
How do stable and unstable air usually differ?
Vastaus
Stable air favors smooth conditions, stratiform clouds, haze, and steady precipitation; unstable air favors turbulence, vertical clouds, and showery precipitation.
Kortti 202
Kysymys
Which current FAA recurrent courses serve Part 107 pilots?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 203
Kysymys
What is a published VFR route?
Vastaus
A charted route for moving around, under, or through complex airspace. It does not by itself authorize a Part 107 operation.
Kortti 204
Kysymys
What do red, green, and white position lights reveal about a crewed aircraft?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 205
Kysymys
How should a macho attitude be countered?
Vastaus
Reject the need to prove skill by taking risk; conservative choices demonstrate sound command.
Kortti 206
Kysymys
What is a temperature inversion?
Vastaus
A layer where temperature increases with altitude. It is stable and can trap fog, haze, smoke, and pollutants near the surface.
Kortti 207
Kysymys
How long can full dark adaptation take?
Vastaus
About 30 minutes in darkness. Bright light can undo it within seconds, so protect night vision before and during the operation.
Kortti 208
Kysymys
Does a current remote pilot retake the UAG test for routine recency?
Vastaus
No. Current FAA recurrent training is completed online; the old recurrent knowledge-test model is obsolete.
Kortti 209
Kysymys
What counts toward the 55-pound small-UA limit?
Vastaus
The aircraft and everything on board or attached at takeoff, including payload, guards, lights, and a Remote ID module.

Kortti 212
Kysymys
How should resignation be countered?
Vastaus
Identify the actions and resources still available; the pilot can change the outcome.
Kortti 213
Kysymys
What happens 30 days after a permanent mailing-address change?
Vastaus
The remote pilot may no longer exercise certificate privileges until the FAA has been notified of the new address.
Kortti 214
Kysymys
How can dehydration or heat stress affect a remote pilot?
Vastaus
It can cause headache, cramps, dizziness, fatigue, poor concentration, and eventually collapse. Hydrate, cool down, and stop before judgment degrades.
Kortti 215
Kysymys
Why must NOTAMs be checked even with a current sectional?
Vastaus
They carry time-critical changes such as TFRs, closures, outages, hazards, and procedures that may not appear on the chart.
Kortti 216
Kysymys
How can precipitation static affect a small UAS?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 217
Kysymys
How long may a temporary remote pilot certificate remain effective?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 218
Kysymys
What can follow cheating on a Part 107 knowledge test?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 219
Kysymys
How can operational stress affect a remote pilot?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 220
Kysymys
What do basic runway and taxiway light colors mean?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 221
Kysymys
What should a pilot do when hyperventilating?
Vastaus
Recognize the rapid breathing, consciously slow the breathing rate, speak or breathe deliberately, and stop the operation if normal function does not return.
Kortti 222
Kysymys
What should a night-flight contingency plan decide?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 223
Kysymys
What does a narrowing temperature–dew point spread suggest?
Vastaus
Air is approaching saturation, increasing the chance of fog, low clouds, dew, or precipitation.
Kortti 224
Kysymys
Does a remote pilot certificate itself expire?
Vastaus
No, but its privileges require current aeronautical knowledge within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Kortti 225
Kysymys
How do mandatory-instruction and location signs differ?
Vastaus
Mandatory-instruction signs have a red background with a white inscription. Location signs have a black background with a yellow inscription and border.
Kortti 226
Kysymys
What is LAANC used for?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 227
Kysymys
How should a new medication be handled before flight?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 228
Kysymys
What must a Part 107 waiver applicant demonstrate?
Vastaus
That the proposed operation can be conducted safely under the waiver's terms and conditions.
Kortti 229
Kysymys
How can fog form near the surface?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 230
Kysymys
What must be checked after attaching a payload?
Vastaus
Total weight, center of gravity, security of attachment, control response, power demand, clearances, and any category or manufacturer limits.
Kortti 231
Kysymys
Why can fatigue be hard to self-detect?
Vastaus
It reduces attention, coordination, communication, and judgment while also weakening the person's ability to recognize that decline.
Kortti 232
Kysymys
What do common obstruction-lighting systems look like at night?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 233
Kysymys
Does a Part 107 waiver suspend every operating rule?
Vastaus
No. It applies only to the specifically waived sections and remains subject to all listed conditions and limitations.
Kortti 234
Kysymys
Does an airspace authorization waive other Part 107 rules?
Vastaus
No. It permits the specified controlled-airspace operation but does not waive altitude, VLOS, weather, TFR, airport-interference, or other requirements.
Kortti 235
Kysymys
How should a Part 107 crew handle laser activity or illumination?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 236
Kysymys
How should a pilot scan for traffic and obstacles?
Vastaus
Use short, overlapping visual sectors with brief pauses instead of one continuous sweep, and move the scan between near and far areas.
Kortti 237
Kysymys
How should a remote pilot look for a dim object at night?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 238
Kysymys
What is prohibited regarding Part 107 certificates, records, and reports?
Vastaus
Fraudulent or intentionally false statements, reproduction for a fraudulent purpose, and alteration.
Kortti 239
Kysymys
What kinds of Part 107 rules may an FAA waiver address?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 240
Kysymys
When may a drone fly over a person without using Category 1–4?
Vastaus

Kortti 242
Kysymys
What is the first concern when operating near an airport traffic pattern?
Vastaus
Avoid interfering with crewed-aircraft operations and maintain awareness of arrivals, departures, and the published traffic pattern.
Kortti 243
Kysymys
Does an older manufacture date automatically bar a drone from Part 107 use?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 244
Kysymys
What is autokinesis?
Vastaus
A stationary light can appear to move when stared at against a dark background. Shift the gaze and use other references instead of fixating.
Kortti 245
Kysymys
Does Part 107 set one universal stand-off distance from people?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 246
Kysymys
Why is a battery reserve part of performance planning?
Vastaus
Wind, temperature, maneuvering, holding, and an alternate landing area can consume more energy than the nominal mission estimate.
Kortti 247
Kysymys
What makes a microburst dangerous near the surface?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 248
Kysymys
What makes a drone eligible for Category 1 operations over people?
Vastaus
It must weigh 0.55 pound or less throughout the operation, including attachments, and have no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin.
Kortti 249
Kysymys
How do buildings and terrain affect low-level wind?
Vastaus
They can create gusts, rotors, downdrafts, and turbulence downwind. The stronger the wind and larger the obstacle, the greater the hazard.
Kortti 250
Kysymys
Why should a small UAS stay clear of smoke-stack and cooling-tower plumes?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 251
Kysymys
What is a false-horizon illusion?
Vastaus
Sloping clouds, terrain, or lights can be mistaken for the true horizon, leading to an incorrect attitude judgment.
Kortti 252
Kysymys
What should an operations-over-people contingency plan decide?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 253
Kysymys
From where is Part 107 flight visibility measured?
Vastaus
From the location of the control station, not from a nearby airport weather sensor.
Kortti 254
Kysymys
What injury threshold defines Category 2 eligibility?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 255
Kysymys
What is the baseline source for small-UAS maintenance?
Vastaus
The current manufacturer or builder instructions, supplemented by the operator's inspection and maintenance program for the actual use and environment.
Kortti 256
Kysymys
Why is low-level wind shear dangerous to a small UAS?
Vastaus
A rapid change in wind speed or direction can abruptly change airspeed, lift, attitude, and ground track close to obstacles or terrain.
Kortti 257
Kysymys
Why are guy wires a serious low-altitude hazard?
Vastaus
They can extend far from a tower and remain nearly invisible even in good weather. Give towers and their support systems wide clearance.
Kortti 258
Kysymys
What injury threshold defines Category 3 eligibility?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 259
Kysymys
Which data controls an aircraft's exact loading limits?
Vastaus
The current manufacturer or builder operating instructions and limitations for that aircraft and configuration.
Kortti 260
Kysymys
Who may perform maintenance on a Part 107 small UAS?
Vastaus
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).
Kortti 261
Kysymys
What makes a tornado a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 262
Kysymys
What is the core requirement for Category 4 operations over people?
Vastaus
The aircraft must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and be operated and maintained under its approved operating limitations.
Kortti 263
Kysymys
What should Category 2 or 3 remote-pilot operating instructions tell the pilot?
Vastaus

Why can an unlighted structure be more hazardous at night?
Vastaus
Its silhouette and support wires may disappear against the background. Chart review, site inspection, lighting checks, and conservative separation become more important.
Kortti 265
Kysymys
Why is hail a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 266
Kysymys
What performance check follows a repair or configuration change?
Vastaus
Verify weight, balance, control response, power, links, sensors, and expected endurance in a safe environment before returning to the planned mission.
Kortti 267
Kysymys
When may a Category 2 or 3 drone carry an optional component or payload?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 268
Kysymys
What is the Part 107 response to an emergency airborne inspection of another aircraft?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 269
Kysymys
Why should a small UAS avoid lightning activity?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 270
Kysymys
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?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 271
Kysymys
How do an operations-over-people MOC and DOC differ?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 272
Kysymys
Why must frost or structural icing be removed before flight?
Vastaus
It disrupts airflow, reduces lift, adds weight, increases drag, and can degrade propeller or control-surface performance.
Kortti 273
Kysymys
What hazards peak in a mature thunderstorm?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 274
Kysymys
Where may a Category 3 drone operate over people?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 275
Kysymys
What maintenance records are required for Category 4?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 276
Kysymys
What should the remote PIC evaluate when selecting an area for operations over people?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 277
Kysymys
When may a Category 4 drone operate over people inside moving vehicles?
Vastaus
Only when the aircraft has the required airworthiness certificate and its operating limitations don't prohibit operations over people inside moving vehicles.
Kortti 278
Kysymys
How can a modification affect operations-over-people eligibility?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 279
Kysymys
Are maintenance records useful when Part 107 doesn't require Category 4 records?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 280
Kysymys
What must be satisfied for a Part 107 operation over people at night?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 281
Kysymys
How long must Category 2 or 3 MOC and DOC support records be kept?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 282
Kysymys
What must the remote PIC check on a Category 2 or 3 aircraft?
Vastaus
The required category label, FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance listing, current operating instructions, required components, and condition for safe operation.
Kortti 283
Kysymys
When may a Category 1, 2, or 3 drone operate over moving vehicles?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 284
Kysymys
May a drone qualify for more than one operations-over-people category?
Vastaus
Yes, but it must not be able to switch inadvertently into a configuration that fails the category being used.
Kortti 285
Kysymys
Who becomes the applicant for a self-built or materially modified Category 2 or 3 drone?
Vastaus
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.
Kortti 286
Kysymys
What should follow maintenance before a normal mission?
Vastaus
Document the work as appropriate, inspect the aircraft, verify correct assembly and software settings, and perform a controlled functional check.
