28. Carte 28

    Question

    When does Class E airspace require Part 107 authorization?

    Réponse

    When it is the surface area designated for an airport. Other Class E airspace does not generally require Part 107 authorization.

29. Carte 29

    Question

    What may the FAA inspect from a Part 107 operator?

    Réponse

    The remote pilot certificate, identification, registration, required records, the small UAS, and information or tests needed to determine compliance.

30. Carte 30

    Question

    What should a lost-link plan decide before flight?

    Réponse

    The aircraft's automatic action, route and altitude, timeout, recovery area, crew callouts, and point at which the flight will be terminated safely.

33. Carte 33

    Question

    What is the first priority during a flyaway?

    Réponse

    Protect people and other aircraft: warn the crew, track the aircraft if possible, assess airspace and trajectory, and notify appropriate authorities when needed.

34. Carte 34

    Question

    What is Class G airspace?

    Réponse

    Uncontrolled airspace from the surface to the base of overlying controlled airspace. Part 107 does not require ATC authorization solely because the operation is in Class G.

35. Carte 35

    Question

    Does a Part 107 drone at or below 0.55 pound need registration?

    Réponse

    Yes. The weight-based registration exception applies only when the aircraft is flown exclusively under the limited recreational exception.

36. Carte 36

    Question

    What should a remote PIC do after unexpected GPS loss?

    Réponse

    Use the aircraft's known non-GPS control mode or contingency procedure, stabilize or land promptly, and avoid relying on automation that needs valid position data.

    Réponse

    Changing where weight is placed, attached, shifted, or released.

48. Carte 48

    Question

    What is the NAS, and what is ATC’s role within it?

    Réponse

    The National Airspace System integrates U.S. airspace, facilities, services, rules, and people. ATC promotes a safe, orderly traffic flow and helps prevent collisions, but it doesn't replace the remote PIC's Part 107 or see-and-avoid duties.

49. Carte 49

    Question

    What makes an emergency plan useful?

    Réponse

    Specific triggers, immediate actions, crew callouts, safe landing areas, emergency contacts, and aircraft-specific procedures that the crew has reviewed before flight.

50. Carte 50

    Réponse

    The person manipulating the controls must be able to see the aircraft at all times throughout the operation.

75. Carte 75

    Question

    For METAR weather that accepts an intensity qualifier, what do -, +, and no sign mean?

    Réponse

    - means light, + means heavy, and no sign means moderate. Apply that rule only to weather phenomena that use intensity qualifiers.

76. Carte 76

    Question

    What communication must a visual observer maintain?

    Réponse

    Effective communication with the remote PIC and the person manipulating the controls so traffic and hazards can be shared promptly.

77. Carte 77

    Question

79. Carte 79

    Question

    How many drones may one person serve at once under Part 107?

    Réponse

    One. A person may not manipulate controls, serve as remote PIC, or serve as visual observer for more than one operation at the same time.

80. Carte 80

    Question

    How do FEW, SCT, BKN, and OVC differ?

    Réponse

    FEW is more than 0 through 2/8 sky cover; SCT is 3/8–4/8; BKN is 5/8–7/8; and OVC is 8/8.

81. Carte 81

    Question

    What can a weather chart or graphical product tell you—and what can't it?

    Réponse

    It shows the broad location, movement, or forecast extent of weather. Its valid time, scale, symbols, and resolution limit it, so it doesn't replace current site-specific reports, forecasts, and advisories.

82. Carte 82

    Question

    What is aircraft stability?

    Réponse

    The inherent tendency to resist a disturbance or return toward the original flight condition.

83. Carte 83

89. Carte 89

    Question

    Why must a remote pilot distinguish MSL from AGL?

    Réponse

    MSL measures altitude from mean sea level, while AGL measures height above the local surface. Sectional airspace limits commonly use MSL; Part 107's normal height limit uses AGL.

90. Carte 90

    Question

    What conduct does Part 107 prohibit as hazardous operation?

    Réponse

    Careless or reckless operation that endangers another person's life or property, and dropping an object in a way that creates an undue hazard.

91. Carte 91

    Question

    When may the FAA authorize a Remote ID deviation?

    Réponse

    For an operation conducted solely for aeronautical research or to show compliance with regulations, or under another specific FAA authorization.

92. Carte 92

    Question

    Why can a small-UAS radio link fail even within visual range?

    Réponse

     Treat it as an airport without an operating tower: check the published CTAF and procedures, monitor traffic, and rely on see-and-avoid rather than tower control.

118. Carte 118

     Question

     What does a crewed-aircraft self-announcement normally communicate?

     Réponse

     The aircraft identity, airport, position, altitude when useful, and intentions. Use that information to project the traffic path; Part 107 doesn't create a routine transmit requirement.

119. Carte 119

     Question

     What is a prohibited area?

     Réponse

     Airspace where flight is prohibited for security or national-welfare reasons unless the responsible agency authorizes it.

120. Carte 120

     Question

     What lighting is required for a Part 107 night flight?

     Réponse

     Anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles, with a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision.

121. Carte 121

     Question

     What relationship holds in steady, level flight?

     Réponse

     Lift equals weight. If available lift becomes insufficient for the weight and conditions, altitude cannot be maintained.

122. Carte 122

     Question

     What Remote ID check is required before takeoff with a broadcast module?

     Réponse

     The person manipulating the controls must ensure the module is functioning as required by Part 89 before takeoff.

123. Carte 123

     Question

     Why should a remote pilot understand the traffic pattern?

     Réponse

     It predicts where crewed aircraft are likely to climb, descend, turn, and approach, helping the small UAS remain clear.

124. Carte 124

     Question

     What are J–R in the aviation phonetic alphabet?

     Réponse

     Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo.

125. Carte 125

     Question

     What certificate consequences can follow prohibited drug or alcohol conduct?

     Réponse

     The FAA may deny an application for up to one year or suspend or revoke a certificate. Refusing a qualifying alcohol test or refusing to release requested results can trigger the same consequences.

126. Carte 126

     Question

     What does RMK introduce in a METAR?

     Réponse

     The remarks section, which can add sensor, pressure, lightning, visibility, and other details.

127. Carte 127

     Question

     May anti-collision lighting be dimmed at night?

     Réponse

     Its intensity may be reduced when necessary for safety, but it may not be extinguished during the operation.

128. Carte 128

     Question

     What is a restricted area?

     Réponse

     Airspace containing unusual, often invisible hazards such as artillery or missile activity. A Part 107 operation requires permission from the using or controlling agency, as applicable.

129. Carte 129

     Question

     Which sources provide current airport operating data?

     Réponse

     The sectional chart, Chart Supplement, current NOTAMs, and local broadcasts such as ATIS, ASOS, or AWOS.

130. Carte 130

     Question

     Why do heliports and seaplane bases need separate traffic awareness?

     Réponse

     Their traffic may use water, pads, or routes that don't match a runway pattern. Identify the facility on current charts and airport data, then watch for low or unexpected arrivals and departures.

131. Carte 131

     Question

     What is a warning area?

     Réponse

     Airspace extending from 3 nautical miles outward from the U.S. coast that warns of potentially hazardous activity where the United States lacks sole jurisdiction.

132. Carte 132

     Question

     What is civil twilight for Part 107 outside Alaska?

     Réponse

     The 30 minutes before official sunrise and the 30 minutes after official sunset. During civil twilight, the aircraft must have an anti-collision light visible for at least 3 statute miles with a flash rate sufficient to avoid collision; its intensity may be reduced, but not extinguished, when safety requires.

133. Carte 133

     Question

     How is a runway number derived?

     Réponse

     From the runway's magnetic direction rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, with the final zero omitted.

134. Carte 134

     Question

     How far may a remote PIC deviate during an in-flight emergency?

     Réponse

     Only as far as necessary to address that emergency.

135. Carte 135

     Question

     How is the TAF valid period 2512/2618 decoded?

     Réponse

     From 1200 UTC on the 25th until 1800 UTC on the 26th.

136. Carte 136

     Question

     When is an emergency-deviation report required?

     Réponse

     Only when the FAA requests one. The remote PIC must then provide a written report.

137. Carte 137

     Question

     What do hold-position markings protect?

     Réponse

     They mark a boundary that aircraft and vehicles must not cross without the required clearance or authorization, protecting an active runway or other controlled surface.

138. Carte 138

     Question

     What are S–Z in the aviation phonetic alphabet?

     Réponse

     Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu.

139. Carte 139

     Question

     Réponse

     The ratio of the aerodynamic load supported by the aircraft to its weight, expressed in Gs.

140. Carte 140

     Question

     What should a remote pilot get from the current Chart Supplement?

     Réponse

     Airport and runway details, lighting, communications, weather sources, notices, procedures, and other data that aren't readily shown graphically. The FAA issues the Chart Supplement every 56 days, so use the current edition.

141. Carte 141

     Question

     Which Part 107 accidents require an FAA report?

     Réponse

     Within 10 calendar days, report an operation causing serious injury or loss of consciousness, or qualifying damage to property other than the drone above the $500 threshold.

142. Carte 142

     Question

     What is the purpose of a military operations area?

     Réponse

     To separate specified military training activity from IFR traffic. Other pilots should check its status and exercise extreme caution.

143. Carte 143

     Question

     How do hazard and risk differ?

     Réponse

     A hazard is a condition that can cause harm; risk is the assessed likelihood and severity of that harm in the planned operation.

     Question

     How can a remote pilot obtain a current established NOTAM?

     Réponse

     Use FAA NOTAM Search or request it through Flight Service's current online or telephone briefing channels. Confirm the location, effective period, and any later change before flight.

145. Carte 145

     Question

     What does SIDA mean at an airport?

     Réponse

     Security Identification Display Area—a limited-access area that requires authorization and proper displayed identification. Don't enter if you aren't authorized; ask the airport authority when the boundary is unclear.

146. Carte 146

     Question

     What does FM mark in a TAF?

     Réponse

     A rapid, lasting change beginning at the stated time, after which the new forecast conditions apply.

147. Carte 147

     Question

     Which controlled airspace needs prior Part 107 authorization?

     Réponse

     Class B, C, and D airspace, plus the lateral boundaries of Class E surface areas designated for an airport.

148. Carte 148

     Question

     What does PAVE organize?

     Réponse

     Preflight risk into Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures.

149. Carte 149

     Question

     What load factor occurs in a coordinated 60-degree level turn?

     Réponse

     2 G. The aircraft must produce lift equal to twice its weight to hold altitude.

150. Carte 150

     Question

     What rule applies near any airport without controlled-airspace authorization requirements?

     Réponse

     The operation still may not interfere with airport traffic patterns or operations.

151. Carte 151

     Question

     How does traffic awareness differ with an operating tower versus a closed or nontowered airport?

     Réponse

     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.

152. Carte 152

     Question

     What does an alert area signal?

     Réponse

     A high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity. All pilots remain responsible for collision avoidance.

153. Carte 153

     Question

     What does IMSAFE check?

     Réponse

     Personal fitness through Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion.

154. Carte 154

     Question

     How do TEMPO and PROB30 differ in a TAF?

     Réponse

     TEMPO describes temporary fluctuations during a period; PROB30 gives a 30 percent probability of specified conditions during its period.

155. Carte 155

     Question

     What is needed to enter prohibited or restricted airspace?

     Réponse

     Permission from the using or controlling agency, as applicable, in addition to compliance with other requirements.

156. Carte 156

     Question

     How are altitude, direction, speed, and time normally spoken on aviation radio?

     Réponse

     Use distinct digits and the standard label: 12,500 is “one two thousand five hundred”; heading 270 is “heading two seven zero”; 15 knots is “one five knots”; 0930 UTC is “zero niner three zero Zulu.”

157. Carte 157

     Question

     What are the three steps of the 3P model?

     Réponse

     Perceive hazards, Process their effect on safety, and Perform the best risk control. Repeat as conditions change.

158. Carte 158

     Question

     What must a remote PIC do about a temporary flight restriction?

     Réponse

     Check current NOTAMs before flight and comply with the TFR unless specifically authorized otherwise.

159. Carte 159

     Question

     For §107.9 reporting, what counts as a serious injury?

     Réponse

     An injury at Abbreviated Injury Scale Level 3 or higher. Loss of consciousness remains a separate reporting trigger even without that injury classification.

160. Carte 160

     Question

     Why is a controlled firing area not charted?

     Réponse

     Its hazardous activity must stop when a spotter, radar, or lookout detects an approaching aircraft, so nonparticipating aircraft need not reroute around it.

161. Carte 161

     Question

     What are the legs and normal turn direction of a standard airport traffic pattern?

     Réponse

     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.

162. Carte 162

     Question

     What does a Convective SIGMET warn about?

     Réponse

     Significant convective hazards such as severe, embedded, or organized thunderstorms, including qualifying hail, wind, or tornado risk.

163. Carte 163

     Question

     How do CARE and TEAM support a risk decision?

     Réponse

     CARE processes Consequences, Alternatives, Reality, and External factors; TEAM chooses to Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate the risk.

164. Carte 164

     Question

     What must preflight familiarization cover?

     Réponse

     Local weather, airspace and restrictions, people and property, ground hazards, crew roles, control links, power, attachments, and the aircraft's condition.

165. Carte 165

     Question

     What night-lighting check belongs in the preflight inspection?

     Réponse

     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.

166. Carte 166

     Question

     How does increased load factor affect fixed-wing stall speed?

     Réponse

     Stall speed rises with the square root of load factor, so steep or abrupt maneuvers can cause a stall at a higher airspeed.

167. Carte 167

     Question

     What does an MTR identifier reveal?

     Réponse

     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.

168. Carte 168

     Question

     What extra limits apply when transporting property for compensation under Part 107?

     Réponse

     The transport must stay wholly within one State, territory, or U.S. possession, or within the District of Columbia. It must also remain within visual line of sight, use no moving vehicle, and keep the aircraft plus property under 55 pounds.

169. Carte 169

     Question

     What is crew resource management?

     Réponse

     The effective use of people, equipment, and information to coordinate the operation and make safer decisions.

170. Carte 170

     Question

     What is density altitude?

     Réponse

     Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature. Operationally, it describes the air density the aircraft performs as though it were experiencing.

171. Carte 171

     Question

     May a Part 107 drone transmit with a transponder?

     Réponse

     Not unless the FAA authorizes or directs its use.

172. Carte 172

     Question

     How is a temporary flight restriction established?

     Réponse

     Through an FDC NOTAM that states the location, effective time, dimensions, altitudes, reason, and coordinating facility.

173. Carte 173

     Question

     What should a remote pilot do about birds or other wildlife near the route?

     Réponse

     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.

174. Carte 174

     Question

     What is situational awareness?

     Réponse

     An accurate understanding of the aircraft, crew, environment, mission, and how those conditions are likely to change.

175. Carte 175

     Question

     What colors normally distinguish runway and taxiway markings?

     Réponse

     Runway markings are white; taxiway markings are yellow. Holding-position markings are also yellow, even when placed on a runway.

176. Carte 176

     Question

     How does high density altitude affect a small UAS?

     Réponse

     Thinner air reduces propeller, wing, and cooling performance, often lowering payload, climb rate, and endurance.

177. Carte 177

     Question

     What is single-pilot resource management?

     Réponse

     Managing every available resource before and during flight so one pilot can maintain awareness, control workload, assess risk, and decide well.

178. Carte 178

     Question

     Which conditions raise density altitude?

     Réponse

     Higher elevation or lower pressure, higher temperature, and higher humidity.

179. Carte 179

     Question

     What is the minimum age for a remote pilot certificate?

     Réponse

     16. The applicant normally must also read, speak, write, and understand English and have no disqualifying physical or mental condition. If a medical reason prevents meeting an English requirement, the FAA may place operating limitations on the certificate.

180. Carte 180

     Question

     What is an early sign of task saturation?

     Réponse

     Working harder while accomplishing less, missing inputs, or fixating on one item. Stop, slow down, prioritize, and reduce workload.

181. Carte 181

     Question

     May ADS-B Out be transmitted during a Part 107 operation?

     Réponse

     Not unless the FAA authorizes or directs it. ADS-B Out is also not a substitute for Remote ID.

182. Carte 182

     Question

     Where should a pilot look for frequent parachute-jump activity?

     Réponse

     The sectional chart and current Chart Supplement, then current NOTAMs for time-sensitive activity.

183. Carte 183

     Question

     Why should a small UAS never fly beneath an unmanned free balloon?

     Réponse

     Its payload suspension or trailing antenna may be hard to see and extend below the balloon. Stay well clear rather than passing underneath.

184. Carte 184

     Question

     What personal equipment should a remote pilot prepare for night operations?

     Réponse

     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.

185. Carte 185

     Question

     Why does high humidity reduce aircraft performance?

     Réponse

     Moist air is less dense than dry air, so the propellers or wings produce less force under otherwise equal conditions.

186. Carte 186

     Question

     Why are external pressures dangerous?

     Réponse

     Schedule, client, money, or pride can make a pilot discount weather, condition, or skill limits. A preplanned cancellation rule protects the decision.

187. Carte 187

     Question

     May someone take the initial Part 107 knowledge test before age 16?

     Réponse

     Yes, at age 14 or older. Certificate eligibility still begins at age 16.

188. Carte 188

     Question

     What is the usual first-time certification path without a qualifying Part 61 certificate?

     Réponse

     Pass the initial Unmanned Aircraft General—Small knowledge test, then complete the FAA application and vetting process.

189. Carte 189

     Question

     Why can high temperature shorten a battery-powered flight?

     Réponse

     The aircraft may need more power in less-dense air while the battery and electronics face greater thermal stress.

190. Carte 190

     Question

     How should the anti-authority attitude be countered?

     Réponse

     Pause and follow the applicable rule or procedure; do not dismiss it merely because someone else imposed it.

191. Carte 191

     Question

     What is a TRSA?

     Réponse

     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.

192. Carte 192

     Question

     What do common airport beacon colors identify?

     Réponse

     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.

193. Carte 193

     Question

     What alternative initial path is available to a qualifying Part 61 pilot?

     Réponse

     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.

194. Carte 194

     Question

     What can a rapidly falling barometric pressure signal?

     Réponse

     Approaching poor weather or a developing storm system. It is a trend to investigate, not a go/no-go answer by itself.

195. Carte 195

     Question

     How should impulsivity be countered?

     Réponse

     Slow down long enough to identify the hazard, options, and safest next action.

196. Carte 196

     Question

     What is a National Security Area?

     Réponse

     Airspace where pilots are asked to avoid flight to protect sensitive ground facilities; a NOTAM may temporarily make avoidance mandatory.

197. Carte 197

     Question

     What should a remote pilot extract from tower transmissions?

     Réponse

     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.

198. Carte 198

     Question

     How recent must Part 107 aeronautical knowledge be?

     Réponse

     The remote pilot must have completed an accepted initial or recurrent path within the preceding 24 calendar months.

199. Carte 199

     Question

     How does a strong headwind affect the return leg?

     Réponse

     It lowers groundspeed and increases the time and energy needed to return. Plan reserve for the worst expected leg, not the easy outbound leg.

200. Carte 200

     Question

     How should invulnerability be countered?

     Réponse

     Treat the hazard as personally relevant: the same failure can happen on this flight.

201. Carte 201

     Question

     How do stable and unstable air usually differ?

     Réponse

     Stable air favors smooth conditions, stratiform clouds, haze, and steady precipitation; unstable air favors turbulence, vertical clouds, and showery precipitation.

202. Carte 202

     Question

     Which current FAA recurrent courses serve Part 107 pilots?

     Réponse

     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.

203. Carte 203

     Question

     What is a published VFR route?

     Réponse

     A charted route for moving around, under, or through complex airspace. It does not by itself authorize a Part 107 operation.

204. Carte 204

     Question

     What do red, green, and white position lights reveal about a crewed aircraft?

     Réponse

     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.

205. Carte 205

     Question

     How should a macho attitude be countered?

     Réponse

     Reject the need to prove skill by taking risk; conservative choices demonstrate sound command.

206. Carte 206

     Question

     What is a temperature inversion?

     Réponse

     A layer where temperature increases with altitude. It is stable and can trap fog, haze, smoke, and pollutants near the surface.

207. Carte 207

     Question

     How long can full dark adaptation take?

     Réponse

     About 30 minutes in darkness. Bright light can undo it within seconds, so protect night vision before and during the operation.

208. Carte 208

     Question

     Does a current remote pilot retake the UAG test for routine recency?

     Réponse

     No. Current FAA recurrent training is completed online; the old recurrent knowledge-test model is obsolete.

209. Carte 209

     Question

     What counts toward the 55-pound small-UA limit?

     Réponse

     The aircraft and everything on board or attached at takeoff, including payload, guards, lights, and a Remote ID module.

210. Carte 210

     Question

     How soon may an applicant retake a failed Part 107 knowledge test?

     Réponse

     After 14 calendar days.

211. Carte 211

     Question

     How do source regions shape an air mass?

     Réponse

     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.

212. Carte 212

     Question

     How should resignation be countered?

     Réponse

     Identify the actions and resources still available; the pilot can change the outcome.

213. Carte 213

     Question

     What happens 30 days after a permanent mailing-address change?

     Réponse

     The remote pilot may no longer exercise certificate privileges until the FAA has been notified of the new address.

214. Carte 214

     Question

     How can dehydration or heat stress affect a remote pilot?

     Réponse

     It can cause headache, cramps, dizziness, fatigue, poor concentration, and eventually collapse. Hydrate, cool down, and stop before judgment degrades.

215. Carte 215

     Question

     Why must NOTAMs be checked even with a current sectional?

     Réponse

     They carry time-critical changes such as TFRs, closures, outages, hazards, and procedures that may not appear on the chart.

216. Carte 216

     Question

     How can precipitation static affect a small UAS?

     Réponse

     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.

217. Carte 217

     Question

     How long may a temporary remote pilot certificate remain effective?

     Réponse

     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.

218. Carte 218

     Question

     What can follow cheating on a Part 107 knowledge test?

     Réponse

     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.

219. Carte 219

     Question

     How can operational stress affect a remote pilot?

     Réponse

     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.

220. Carte 220

     Question

     What do basic runway and taxiway light colors mean?

     Réponse

     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.

221. Carte 221

     Question

     What should a pilot do when hyperventilating?

     Réponse

     Recognize the rapid breathing, consciously slow the breathing rate, speak or breathe deliberately, and stop the operation if normal function does not return.

222. Carte 222

     Question

     What should a night-flight contingency plan decide?

     Réponse

     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.

223. Carte 223

     Question

     What does a narrowing temperature–dew point spread suggest?

     Réponse

     Air is approaching saturation, increasing the chance of fog, low clouds, dew, or precipitation.

224. Carte 224

     Question

     Does a remote pilot certificate itself expire?

     Réponse

     No, but its privileges require current aeronautical knowledge within the preceding 24 calendar months.

225. Carte 225

     Question

     How do mandatory-instruction and location signs differ?

     Réponse

     Mandatory-instruction signs have a red background with a white inscription. Location signs have a black background with a yellow inscription and border.

226. Carte 226

     Question

     What is LAANC used for?

     Réponse

     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.

227. Carte 227

     Question

     How should a new medication be handled before flight?

     Réponse

     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.

228. Carte 228

     Question

     What must a Part 107 waiver applicant demonstrate?

     Réponse

     That the proposed operation can be conducted safely under the waiver's terms and conditions.

229. Carte 229

     Question

     How can fog form near the surface?

     Réponse

     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.

230. Carte 230

     Question

     What must be checked after attaching a payload?

     Réponse

     Total weight, center of gravity, security of attachment, control response, power demand, clearances, and any category or manufacturer limits.

231. Carte 231

     Question

     Why can fatigue be hard to self-detect?

     Réponse

     It reduces attention, coordination, communication, and judgment while also weakening the person's ability to recognize that decline.

232. Carte 232

     Question

     What do common obstruction-lighting systems look like at night?

     Réponse

     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.

233. Carte 233

     Question

     Does a Part 107 waiver suspend every operating rule?

     Réponse

     No. It applies only to the specifically waived sections and remains subject to all listed conditions and limitations.

234. Carte 234

     Question

     Does an airspace authorization waive other Part 107 rules?

     Réponse

     No. It permits the specified controlled-airspace operation but does not waive altitude, VLOS, weather, TFR, airport-interference, or other requirements.

235. Carte 235

     Question

     How should a Part 107 crew handle laser activity or illumination?

     Réponse

     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.

236. Carte 236

     Question

     How should a pilot scan for traffic and obstacles?

     Réponse

     Use short, overlapping visual sectors with brief pauses instead of one continuous sweep, and move the scan between near and far areas.

237. Carte 237

     Question

     How should a remote pilot look for a dim object at night?

     Réponse

     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.

238. Carte 238

     Question

     What is prohibited regarding Part 107 certificates, records, and reports?

     Réponse

     Fraudulent or intentionally false statements, reproduction for a fraudulent purpose, and alteration.

239. Carte 239

     Question

     What kinds of Part 107 rules may an FAA waiver address?

     Réponse

     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.

240. Carte 240

     Question

     When may a drone fly over a person without using Category 1–4?

     Réponse

     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.

241. Carte 241

     Question

     What changes should be expected near a front?

     Réponse

     Temperature, wind, moisture, clouds, and precipitation can change quickly across the boundary between air masses.

242. Carte 242

     Question

     What is the first concern when operating near an airport traffic pattern?

     Réponse

     Avoid interfering with crewed-aircraft operations and maintain awareness of arrivals, departures, and the published traffic pattern.

243. Carte 243

     Question

     Does an older manufacture date automatically bar a drone from Part 107 use?

     Réponse

     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.

244. Carte 244

     Question

     What is autokinesis?

     Réponse

     A stationary light can appear to move when stared at against a dark background. Shift the gaze and use other references instead of fixating.

245. Carte 245

     Question

     Does Part 107 set one universal stand-off distance from people?

     Réponse

     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.

246. Carte 246

     Question

     Why is a battery reserve part of performance planning?

     Réponse

     Wind, temperature, maneuvering, holding, and an alternate landing area can consume more energy than the nominal mission estimate.

247. Carte 247

     Question

     What makes a microburst dangerous near the surface?

     Réponse

     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.

248. Carte 248

     Question

     What makes a drone eligible for Category 1 operations over people?

     Réponse

     It must weigh 0.55 pound or less throughout the operation, including attachments, and have no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin.

249. Carte 249

     Question

     How do buildings and terrain affect low-level wind?

     Réponse

     They can create gusts, rotors, downdrafts, and turbulence downwind. The stronger the wind and larger the obstacle, the greater the hazard.

250. Carte 250

     Question

     Why should a small UAS stay clear of smoke-stack and cooling-tower plumes?

     Réponse

     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.

251. Carte 251

     Question

     What is a false-horizon illusion?

     Réponse

     Sloping clouds, terrain, or lights can be mistaken for the true horizon, leading to an incorrect attitude judgment.

252. Carte 252

     Question

     What should an operations-over-people contingency plan decide?

     Réponse

     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.

253. Carte 253

     Question

     From where is Part 107 flight visibility measured?

     Réponse

     From the location of the control station, not from a nearby airport weather sensor.

254. Carte 254

     Question

     What injury threshold defines Category 2 eligibility?

     Réponse

     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.

255. Carte 255

     Question

     What is the baseline source for small-UAS maintenance?

     Réponse

     The current manufacturer or builder instructions, supplemented by the operator's inspection and maintenance program for the actual use and environment.

256. Carte 256

     Question

     Why is low-level wind shear dangerous to a small UAS?

     Réponse

     A rapid change in wind speed or direction can abruptly change airspeed, lift, attitude, and ground track close to obstacles or terrain.

257. Carte 257

     Question

     Why are guy wires a serious low-altitude hazard?

     Réponse

     They can extend far from a tower and remain nearly invisible even in good weather. Give towers and their support systems wide clearance.

258. Carte 258

     Question

     What injury threshold defines Category 3 eligibility?

     Réponse

     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.

259. Carte 259

     Question

     Which data controls an aircraft's exact loading limits?

     Réponse

     The current manufacturer or builder operating instructions and limitations for that aircraft and configuration.

260. Carte 260

     Question

     Who may perform maintenance on a Part 107 small UAS?

     Réponse

     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).

261. Carte 261

     Question

     What makes a tornado a no-go hazard for a small UAS?

     Réponse

     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.

262. Carte 262

     Question

     What is the core requirement for Category 4 operations over people?

     Réponse

     The aircraft must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and be operated and maintained under its approved operating limitations.

263. Carte 263

     Question

     What should Category 2 or 3 remote-pilot operating instructions tell the pilot?

     Réponse

     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.

264. Carte 264

     Question

     Why can an unlighted structure be more hazardous at night?

     Réponse

     Its silhouette and support wires may disappear against the background. Chart review, site inspection, lighting checks, and conservative separation become more important.

265. Carte 265

     Question

     Why is hail a no-go hazard for a small UAS?

     Réponse

     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.

266. Carte 266

     Question

     What performance check follows a repair or configuration change?

     Réponse

     Verify weight, balance, control response, power, links, sensors, and expected endurance in a safe environment before returning to the planned mission.

267. Carte 267

     Question

     When may a Category 2 or 3 drone carry an optional component or payload?

     Réponse

     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.

268. Carte 268

     Question

     What is the Part 107 response to an emergency airborne inspection of another aircraft?

     Réponse

     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.

269. Carte 269

     Question

     Why should a small UAS avoid lightning activity?

     Réponse

     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.

270. Carte 270

     Question

     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?

     Réponse

     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.

271. Carte 271

     Question

     How do an operations-over-people MOC and DOC differ?

     Réponse

     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.

272. Carte 272

     Question

     Why must frost or structural icing be removed before flight?

     Réponse

     It disrupts airflow, reduces lift, adds weight, increases drag, and can degrade propeller or control-surface performance.

273. Carte 273

     Question

     What hazards peak in a mature thunderstorm?

     Réponse

     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.

274. Carte 274

     Question

     Where may a Category 3 drone operate over people?

     Réponse

     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.

275. Carte 275

     Question

     What maintenance records are required for Category 4?

     Réponse

     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.

276. Carte 276

     Question

     What should the remote PIC evaluate when selecting an area for operations over people?

     Réponse

     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.

277. Carte 277

     Question

     When may a Category 4 drone operate over people inside moving vehicles?

     Réponse

     Only when the aircraft has the required airworthiness certificate and its operating limitations don't prohibit operations over people inside moving vehicles.

278. Carte 278

     Question

     How can a modification affect operations-over-people eligibility?

     Réponse

     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.

279. Carte 279

     Question

     Are maintenance records useful when Part 107 doesn't require Category 4 records?

     Réponse

     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.

280. Carte 280

     Question

     What must be satisfied for a Part 107 operation over people at night?

     Réponse

     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.

281. Carte 281

     Question

     How long must Category 2 or 3 MOC and DOC support records be kept?

     Réponse

     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.

282. Carte 282

     Question

     What must the remote PIC check on a Category 2 or 3 aircraft?

     Réponse

     The required category label, FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance listing, current operating instructions, required components, and condition for safe operation.

283. Carte 283

     Question

     When may a Category 1, 2, or 3 drone operate over moving vehicles?

     Réponse

     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.

284. Carte 284

     Question

     May a drone qualify for more than one operations-over-people category?

     Réponse

     Yes, but it must not be able to switch inadvertently into a configuration that fails the category being used.

285. Carte 285

     Question

     Who becomes the applicant for a self-built or materially modified Category 2 or 3 drone?

     Réponse

     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.

286. Carte 286

     Question

     What should follow maintenance before a normal mission?

     Réponse

     Document the work as appropriate, inspect the aircraft, verify correct assembly and software settings, and perform a controlled functional check.
