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.
Informazioni su questo mazzo
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.

Domanda
What rule applies near any airport without controlled-airspace authorization requirements?
Risposta
The operation still may not interfere with airport traffic patterns or operations.
Carta 151
Domanda
How does traffic awareness differ with an operating tower versus a closed or nontowered airport?
Risposta
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.
Carta 152
Domanda
What does an alert area signal?
Risposta
A high volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity. All pilots remain responsible for collision avoidance.
Carta 153
Domanda

Carta 159
Domanda
For §107.9 reporting, what counts as a serious injury?
Risposta
An injury at Abbreviated Injury Scale Level 3 or higher. Loss of consciousness remains a separate reporting trigger even without that injury classification.
Carta 160
Domanda
Why is a controlled firing area not charted?
Risposta
Its hazardous activity must stop when a spotter, radar, or lookout detects an approaching aircraft, so nonparticipating aircraft need not reroute around it.
Carta 161
Domanda
What are the legs and normal turn direction of a standard airport traffic pattern?
Risposta
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.
Carta 162
Domanda
What does a Convective SIGMET warn about?
Risposta
Significant convective hazards such as severe, embedded, or organized thunderstorms, including qualifying hail, wind, or tornado risk.
Carta 163
Domanda

Carta 166
Domanda
How does increased load factor affect fixed-wing stall speed?
Risposta
Stall speed rises with the square root of load factor, so steep or abrupt maneuvers can cause a stall at a higher airspeed.
Carta 167
Domanda
What does an MTR identifier reveal?
Risposta
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.
Carta 168
Domanda
What extra limits apply when transporting property for compensation under Part 107?
Risposta

Carta 173
Domanda
What should a remote pilot do about birds or other wildlife near the route?
Risposta
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.
Carta 174
Domanda
What is situational awareness?
Risposta
An accurate understanding of the aircraft, crew, environment, mission, and how those conditions are likely to change.
Carta 175
Domanda
What colors normally distinguish runway and taxiway markings?
Risposta
Runway markings are white; taxiway markings are yellow. Holding-position markings are also yellow, even when placed on a runway.
Carta 176
Domanda
How does high density altitude affect a small UAS?
Risposta
Thinner air reduces propeller, wing, and cooling performance, often lowering payload, climb rate, and endurance.
Carta 177
Domanda
What is single-pilot resource management?
Risposta
Managing every available resource before and during flight so one pilot can maintain awareness, control workload, assess risk, and decide well.
Carta 178
Domanda
Which conditions raise density altitude?
Risposta
Higher elevation or lower pressure, higher temperature, and higher humidity.
Carta 179
Domanda
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.
Carta 181
Domanda
May ADS-B Out be transmitted during a Part 107 operation?
Risposta
Not unless the FAA authorizes or directs it. ADS-B Out is also not a substitute for Remote ID.
Carta 182
Domanda
Where should a pilot look for frequent parachute-jump activity?
Risposta
The sectional chart and current Chart Supplement, then current NOTAMs for time-sensitive activity.
Carta 183
Domanda
Why should a small UAS never fly beneath an unmanned free balloon?
Risposta
Its payload suspension or trailing antenna may be hard to see and extend below the balloon. Stay well clear rather than passing underneath.
Carta 184
Domanda
What personal equipment should a remote pilot prepare for night operations?
Risposta
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.
Carta 185
Domanda
Why does high humidity reduce aircraft performance?
Risposta
Moist air is less dense than dry air, so the propellers or wings produce less force under otherwise equal conditions.
Carta 186
Domanda
Why are external pressures dangerous?
Risposta
Schedule, client, money, or pride can make a pilot discount weather, condition, or skill limits. A preplanned cancellation rule protects the decision.
Carta 187
Domanda
May someone take the initial Part 107 knowledge test before age 16?
Risposta
Yes, at age 14 or older. Certificate eligibility still begins at age 16.
Carta 188
Domanda

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

Domanda
What counts toward the 55-pound small-UA limit?
Risposta
The aircraft and everything on board or attached at takeoff, including payload, guards, lights, and a Remote ID module.
Carta 210
Domanda
How soon may an applicant retake a failed Part 107 knowledge test?
Risposta
After 14 calendar days.
Carta 211
Domanda
How do source regions shape an air mass?
Risposta
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.
Carta 212
Domanda
How should resignation be countered?
Risposta
Identify the actions and resources still available; the pilot can change the outcome.
Carta 213
Domanda
What happens 30 days after a permanent mailing-address change?
Risposta
The remote pilot may no longer exercise certificate privileges until the FAA has been notified of the new address.
Carta 214
Domanda
How can dehydration or heat stress affect a remote pilot?
Risposta
It can cause headache, cramps, dizziness, fatigue, poor concentration, and eventually collapse. Hydrate, cool down, and stop before judgment degrades.
Carta 215
Domanda
Why must NOTAMs be checked even with a current sectional?
Risposta
They carry time-critical changes such as TFRs, closures, outages, hazards, and procedures that may not appear on the chart.
Carta 216
Domanda
How can precipitation static affect a small UAS?
Risposta
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.
Carta 217
Domanda
How long may a temporary remote pilot certificate remain effective?
Risposta
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.
Carta 218
Domanda
What can follow cheating on a Part 107 knowledge test?
Risposta
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.
Carta 219
Domanda
How can operational stress affect a remote pilot?
Risposta
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.
Carta 220
Domanda
What do basic runway and taxiway light colors mean?
Risposta
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.
Carta 221
Domanda
What should a pilot do when hyperventilating?
Risposta
Recognize the rapid breathing, consciously slow the breathing rate, speak or breathe deliberately, and stop the operation if normal function does not return.
Carta 222
Domanda
What should a night-flight contingency plan decide?
Risposta
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.
Carta 223
Domanda
What does a narrowing temperature–dew point spread suggest?
Risposta
Air is approaching saturation, increasing the chance of fog, low clouds, dew, or precipitation.
Carta 224
Domanda
Does a remote pilot certificate itself expire?
Risposta
No, but its privileges require current aeronautical knowledge within the preceding 24 calendar months.
Carta 225
Domanda
How do mandatory-instruction and location signs differ?
Risposta
Mandatory-instruction signs have a red background with a white inscription. Location signs have a black background with a yellow inscription and border.

Domanda
What is LAANC used for?
Risposta
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.
Carta 227
Domanda
How should a new medication be handled before flight?
Risposta
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.
Carta 228
Domanda
What must a Part 107 waiver applicant demonstrate?
Risposta
That the proposed operation can be conducted safely under the waiver's terms and conditions.
Carta 229
Domanda
How can fog form near the surface?
Risposta
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.
Carta 230
Domanda
What must be checked after attaching a payload?
Risposta
Total weight, center of gravity, security of attachment, control response, power demand, clearances, and any category or manufacturer limits.
Carta 231
Domanda
Why can fatigue be hard to self-detect?
Risposta
It reduces attention, coordination, communication, and judgment while also weakening the person's ability to recognize that decline.
Carta 232
Domanda
What do common obstruction-lighting systems look like at night?
Risposta
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.
Carta 233
Domanda
Does a Part 107 waiver suspend every operating rule?
Risposta
No. It applies only to the specifically waived sections and remains subject to all listed conditions and limitations.
Carta 234
Domanda
Does an airspace authorization waive other Part 107 rules?
Risposta
No. It permits the specified controlled-airspace operation but does not waive altitude, VLOS, weather, TFR, airport-interference, or other requirements.
Carta 235
Domanda
How should a Part 107 crew handle laser activity or illumination?
Risposta
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.
Carta 236
Domanda
How should a pilot scan for traffic and obstacles?
Risposta
Use short, overlapping visual sectors with brief pauses instead of one continuous sweep, and move the scan between near and far areas.
Carta 237
Domanda
How should a remote pilot look for a dim object at night?
Risposta
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.
Carta 238
Domanda
What is prohibited regarding Part 107 certificates, records, and reports?
Risposta
Fraudulent or intentionally false statements, reproduction for a fraudulent purpose, and alteration.
Carta 239
Domanda
What kinds of Part 107 rules may an FAA waiver address?
Risposta
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.
Carta 240
Domanda
When may a drone fly over a person without using Category 1–4?
Risposta
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.
Carta 241

Domanda
What is the first concern when operating near an airport traffic pattern?
Risposta
Avoid interfering with crewed-aircraft operations and maintain awareness of arrivals, departures, and the published traffic pattern.
Carta 243
Domanda
Does an older manufacture date automatically bar a drone from Part 107 use?
Risposta
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.
Carta 244
Domanda
What is autokinesis?
Risposta
A stationary light can appear to move when stared at against a dark background. Shift the gaze and use other references instead of fixating.
Carta 245
Domanda
Does Part 107 set one universal stand-off distance from people?
Risposta
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.
Carta 246
Domanda
Why is a battery reserve part of performance planning?
Risposta
Wind, temperature, maneuvering, holding, and an alternate landing area can consume more energy than the nominal mission estimate.
Carta 247
Domanda
What makes a microburst dangerous near the surface?
Risposta
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.
Carta 248
Domanda
What makes a drone eligible for Category 1 operations over people?
Risposta
It must weigh 0.55 pound or less throughout the operation, including attachments, and have no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin.
Carta 249
Domanda
How do buildings and terrain affect low-level wind?
Risposta
They can create gusts, rotors, downdrafts, and turbulence downwind. The stronger the wind and larger the obstacle, the greater the hazard.
Carta 250
Domanda
Why should a small UAS stay clear of smoke-stack and cooling-tower plumes?
Risposta
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.
Carta 251
Domanda
What is a false-horizon illusion?
Risposta
Sloping clouds, terrain, or lights can be mistaken for the true horizon, leading to an incorrect attitude judgment.
Carta 252
Domanda
What should an operations-over-people contingency plan decide?
Risposta
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.
Carta 253
Domanda
From where is Part 107 flight visibility measured?
Risposta
From the location of the control station, not from a nearby airport weather sensor.
Carta 254
Domanda
What injury threshold defines Category 2 eligibility?
Risposta
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.
Carta 255
Domanda
What is the baseline source for small-UAS maintenance?
Risposta
The current manufacturer or builder instructions, supplemented by the operator's inspection and maintenance program for the actual use and environment.
Carta 256
Domanda
Why is low-level wind shear dangerous to a small UAS?
Risposta
A rapid change in wind speed or direction can abruptly change airspeed, lift, attitude, and ground track close to obstacles or terrain.
Carta 257
Domanda
Why are guy wires a serious low-altitude hazard?
Risposta
They can extend far from a tower and remain nearly invisible even in good weather. Give towers and their support systems wide clearance.
Carta 258
Domanda
What injury threshold defines Category 3 eligibility?
Risposta
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.
Carta 259
Domanda
Which data controls an aircraft's exact loading limits?
Risposta
The current manufacturer or builder operating instructions and limitations for that aircraft and configuration.
Carta 260
Domanda
Who may perform maintenance on a Part 107 small UAS?
Risposta
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).
Carta 261
Domanda
What makes a tornado a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Risposta
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.
Carta 262
Domanda
What is the core requirement for Category 4 operations over people?
Risposta
The aircraft must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and be operated and maintained under its approved operating limitations.
Carta 263
Domanda
What should Category 2 or 3 remote-pilot operating instructions tell the pilot?
Risposta
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.
Carta 264
Domanda
Why can an unlighted structure be more hazardous at night?
Risposta
Its silhouette and support wires may disappear against the background. Chart review, site inspection, lighting checks, and conservative separation become more important.
Carta 265
Domanda
Why is hail a no-go hazard for a small UAS?
Risposta
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.
Carta 266
Domanda
What performance check follows a repair or configuration change?
Risposta
Verify weight, balance, control response, power, links, sensors, and expected endurance in a safe environment before returning to the planned mission.
Carta 267
Domanda
When may a Category 2 or 3 drone carry an optional component or payload?
Risposta
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.
Carta 268
Domanda
What is the Part 107 response to an emergency airborne inspection of another aircraft?
Risposta
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.
Carta 269
Domanda
Why should a small UAS avoid lightning activity?
Risposta
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.
Carta 270
Domanda
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?
Risposta
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.
Carta 271
Domanda
How do an operations-over-people MOC and DOC differ?
Risposta
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.
Carta 272
Domanda
Why must frost or structural icing be removed before flight?
Risposta
It disrupts airflow, reduces lift, adds weight, increases drag, and can degrade propeller or control-surface performance.
Carta 273
Domanda
What hazards peak in a mature thunderstorm?
Risposta
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.
Carta 274
Domanda
Where may a Category 3 drone operate over people?
Risposta
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.

What maintenance records are required for Category 4?
Risposta
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.

Domanda
What should the remote PIC evaluate when selecting an area for operations over people?
Risposta
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.
Carta 277
Domanda
When may a Category 4 drone operate over people inside moving vehicles?
Risposta
Only when the aircraft has the required airworthiness certificate and its operating limitations don't prohibit operations over people inside moving vehicles.
Carta 278
Domanda
How can a modification affect operations-over-people eligibility?
Risposta
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.
Carta 279
Domanda
Are maintenance records useful when Part 107 doesn't require Category 4 records?
Risposta
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.
Carta 280
Domanda
What must be satisfied for a Part 107 operation over people at night?
Risposta
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.
Carta 281
Domanda
How long must Category 2 or 3 MOC and DOC support records be kept?
Risposta
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.
Carta 282
Domanda
What must the remote PIC check on a Category 2 or 3 aircraft?
Risposta
The required category label, FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance listing, current operating instructions, required components, and condition for safe operation.
Carta 283
Domanda
When may a Category 1, 2, or 3 drone operate over moving vehicles?
Risposta
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.
Carta 284
Domanda
May a drone qualify for more than one operations-over-people category?
Risposta
Yes, but it must not be able to switch inadvertently into a configuration that fails the category being used.
Carta 285
Domanda
Who becomes the applicant for a self-built or materially modified Category 2 or 3 drone?
Risposta
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.
Carta 286
Domanda
What should follow maintenance before a normal mission?
Risposta
Document the work as appropriate, inspect the aircraft, verify correct assembly and software settings, and perform a controlled functional check.
