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.
A pakliról
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.

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