Part 107 emergency decision trainer

Practice the first move when a normal flight stops being normal. Ten branching scenarios separate immediate emergencies from urgent abnormalities, routine aborts, and post-event duties.

Start the scenario drill

The controlling distinction

Emergency authority is narrow.

Section 107.21 applies only to an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action. It permits a Part 107 deviation only to the extent necessary to meet that emergency.

Read 14 CFR 107.21

Immediate action

Protect crewed aircraft, people, property, and the ability to contain the drone. The first move should reduce the live hazard.

Necessary extent

A deviation is not blanket permission. Stop deviating when the emergency no longer requires it, then terminate or stabilize.

Two reporting paths

A 107.21 deviation report is written only upon FAA request. A qualifying 107.9 safety event report is a separate mandatory duty.

Free interactive practice

Make the first call, then work the stack.

Each decision earns 0 to 3 priority points. Feedback appears immediately, followed by the full response order, rule boundary, and a changed-condition variation.

Source discipline

Train from the official baseline.

Aircraft procedures vary by platform. Build the manufacturer checklist, site plan, and crew briefing around the FAA rules and the specific system you operate.
