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 Part 107, what is the maximum allowable altitude for a small unmanned aircraft flying in open airspace away from any structure?
400 feet above ground level
Part 107 caps altitude at 400 feet AGL, unless the aircraft stays within 400 feet of a structure.
02A remote pilot may fly within 400 feet of a tall structure and exceed 400 feet AGL only if the aircraft remains within how far of that structure?
Within 400 feet of the structure's immediate uppermost limit
The structure exception lets you fly higher only while staying within a 400-foot lateral radius of the structure's uppermost limit.
03What is the minimum age to apply for a Remote Pilot Certificate under Part 107?
16 years old
You must be at least 16 years old to hold a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.
04How often must a Part 107 certificate holder complete recurrent training to remain current?
Every 24 calendar months
Currency is maintained by completing the free online recurrent training course every 24 calendar months.
05Under Part 107, what is the maximum gross takeoff weight allowed for a small unmanned aircraft, including everything on board?
Less than 55 pounds
Part 107 applies to small unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds, including payload, at takeoff.
06A remote pilot discovers a flight created a serious injury requiring hospitalization. Within how many days must the FAA be notified?
Within 10 calendar days
Section 107.9 requires a report within 10 calendar days for serious injury, loss of consciousness, or damage to property other than the drone when repair cost or fair market value exceeds $500.
07What blood-alcohol concentration disqualifies a person from acting as a remote pilot in command under Part 107?
0.04% or greater
Part 107 prohibits operating with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.04% or more, mirroring the rule for crewed aircraft.
08Absent specific FAA authorization, where may a Part 107 operator fly a drone that lacks any Remote ID capability?
Only within the boundaries of an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) and within visual line of sight
Unless the FAA specifically authorizes otherwise, a drone without Standard Remote ID or a broadcast module may operate only within a FRIA, and both the drone and the person manipulating the controls must remain within visual line of sight.
09Which document must a remote pilot in command have available when operating under Part 107?
Their Remote Pilot Certificate
The remote PIC must have their Remote Pilot Certificate available; no aviation medical certificate is required under Part 107.
10How many small unmanned aircraft may one remote pilot in command operate at the same time under standard Part 107 rules?
Only one at a time
Without a waiver, a remote PIC may operate only one small unmanned aircraft at a time.
11Carrying hazardous material as a payload on a Part 107 small unmanned aircraft is:
