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.
Apie šį rinkinį
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.

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