Part 107 classroom diagnostic

Regulations

Under 14 CFR 107.51, a remote pilot may exceed 400 feet AGL near a tall structure only if the aircraft stays within what horizontal distance?

1. A.Within a 100-foot radius of the structure
2. B.Within a 400-foot radius of the structure
3. C.Within a 1,000-foot radius of the structure
4. D.There is no exception; 400 feet AGL is absolute

Regulations

A remote pilot discovers a flight created a serious injury requiring hospitalization. Within how many days must the FAA be notified?

1. A.Within 10 calendar days
2. B.Within 30 calendar days
3. C.Within 24 hours
4. D.Notification is not required for injuries

Airspace & Charts

A faded magenta vignette around an airport on a sectional chart generally indicates:

1. A.Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet AGL
2. B.Class C airspace beginning at the surface
3. C.Class D airspace at a towered airport
4. D.A military operations area

Airspace & Charts

On a sectional chart, an obstruction marked 1549 (612) means:

1. A.The obstruction is 612 feet MSL and 1,549 feet AGL
2. B.The obstruction top is 1,549 feet MSL and 612 feet AGL
3. C.The first number is the local MEF and the number in parentheses is field elevation
4. D.Both numbers are MSL elevations for two obstacles in the same group

Weather

In a METAR, the entry '24015G25KT' tells the pilot the wind is:

1. A.From 240° true at 15 knots gusting to 25 knots
2. B.From 240° magnetic at 15 mph
3. C.Toward 240° at 15 knots
4. D.Variable at 25 knots with no gusts

Weather

A METAR reports temperature 18°C and dewpoint 17°C. What does this small temperature–dewpoint spread most strongly suggest?

1. A.High visibility and stable, dry air
2. B.A high risk of fog, mist, or low cloud from near-saturated air
3. C.Guaranteed thunderstorms within the hour
4. D.That the altimeter setting is unreliable

Loading & Performance

An improperly balanced payload that shifts the drone's center of gravity is most likely to cause:

1. A.Improved stability because the payload resists motion
2. B.Unstable or unpredictable flight characteristics
3. C.Higher available thrust because more motors carry the load
4. D.Longer endurance because the flight controller uses less correction

Loading & Performance

Why should a remote pilot plan a battery reserve instead of using the full advertised flight time?

1. A.Advertised endurance is measured with the legally required reserve already subtracted
2. B.Wind, cold, payload, rerouting, and landing needs can increase power use
3. C.Return-to-home always uses a fixed amount of power regardless of wind
4. D.The low-battery warning guarantees enough energy for every diversion

Operations & ADM

Crew Resource Management (CRM) for a remote pilot using a visual observer primarily involves:

1. A.Assigning all collision-avoidance decisions to the observer
2. B.Effective communication and coordination between the pilot and observer
3. C.Allowing the observer to use unbriefed hand signals instead of standard calls
4. D.Using the observer solely to monitor the camera payload

Operations & ADM

During night operations, a remote pilot should account for:

1. A.Dark adaptation, glare, visual illusions, and aircraft/obstruction lighting
2. B.Only anti-collision-light brightness; human vision is unchanged at night
3. C.Direct fixation on dim lights to keep them visible
4. D.The same depth perception and color discrimination available in daylight
