Part 107 operations and ADM practice questions
Practice crew roles, right of way, airport operations, night vision, hazardous attitudes, and aeronautical decision-making.

Work the question before opening the answer.
These are original Drone Authority questions, not active FAA test items. Use the explanation to understand why the correct choice wins and where to rebuild the concept.
01Under standard Part 107 rules, the small unmanned aircraft must remain:
Within the visual line of sight of the remote pilot or visual observer
The aircraft must stay within visual line of sight of the remote PIC or a visual observer at all times.
02To fly a Part 107 operation at night without a waiver, the aircraft must have:
An anti-collision light visible for at least 3 statute miles
Night operations require an anti-collision light visible for at least 3 statute miles, and the remote pilot must have completed updated training.
03Which Operations Over People category covers drones weighing 0.55 pounds or less with no exposed rotating parts that could lacerate skin?
Category 1
Category 1 covers drones 0.55 lb or lighter that cannot cause laceration injuries, allowing flight over people under defined conditions.
04The 'DECIDE' model and the 3P (Perceive, Process, Perform) checklist are tools used in:
Aeronautical decision-making and risk management
These structured models support aeronautical decision-making (ADM) and risk management in flight operations.
05The 'IMSAFE' checklist helps a remote pilot evaluate:
Their own fitness to fly (illness, medication, stress, alcohol, fatigue, emotion)
IMSAFE is a personal-readiness checklist: Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion.
06Which of these is one of the five hazardous attitudes in aeronautical decision-making?
Anti-authority
The five hazardous attitudes are anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation.
07If a crewed aircraft approaches the area where you are flying your drone, the correct action is to:
Yield the right of way and maneuver clear of the crewed aircraft
Drones must always yield the right of way to crewed aircraft and maneuver to avoid creating a collision hazard.
08Crew Resource Management (CRM) for a remote pilot using a visual observer primarily involves:
Effective communication and coordination between the pilot and observer
CRM is about clear, continuous communication and coordination among everyone involved in the operation.
09During a flight, the remote pilot notices the drone's battery is lower than expected and weather is deteriorating. The best ADM response is to:
Recognize the changing risk and land the aircraft promptly
Good ADM means continuously reassessing risk and acting conservatively, landing before the situation becomes unsafe.
10A visual observer is required to:
Be able to communicate with the remote PIC and keep the aircraft in sight
A visual observer must keep the aircraft within visual line of sight and stay in effective communication with the remote PIC.
11Using a first-person-view (FPV) headset while flying under Part 107 is permitted only if:
A visual observer maintains the required visual line of sight of the aircraft
FPV is allowed only when a visual observer maintains the unaided visual line of sight that satisfies the see-and-avoid requirement.
12Flying over a moving vehicle under Part 107 without a waiver is generally:
Prohibited unless the operation meets the Operations Over Moving Vehicles requirements
Sustained flight over moving vehicles is restricted and only allowed when the operation meets the rule's specific category requirements.
