FAA 107 DRONE PILOT FINAL EXAM 2026/2027
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔When loading cameras or other equipment on a small UAS, mount the items in a
manner that: - ✔✔Does not adversely affect the center of gravity.
✔✔Which of the following considerations is most relevant to a Remote PIC when
evaluating unmanned aircraft performance? - ✔✔Current weather conditions
✔✔During what time of the day is operation of small UAS prohibited? - ✔✔night time
(between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight)
✔✔what is evening civil twilight? - ✔✔30 minutes after sunset
✔✔What is morning civil twilight? - ✔✔30 minutes before sunrise
✔✔when operating UAS during civil twilight, what must it be equipped with? - ✔✔anti-
collision lights that are capable of being visible for at least 3 statute miles from the
control station.
✔✔Define VLOS - ✔✔Visual Line of Sight: Any flight crewmember is capable of seeing
the aircraft with vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses
✔✔What are the distance limitations for an unmanned flight? - ✔✔- within 3 miles from
the control station
- 500 feet below a cloud and 2000 horizontal feet from a cloud
- 400 above ground level unless flown within a 400 foot radius of a structureand is not
flown higher than 400 feet above the structure's uppermost limit
✔✔Can vision aids be used momentraily for situational awareness during unmanned
flight? - ✔✔Yes
✔✔what is the speed limit of a UAS? - ✔✔87 knots or 100 mph
✔✔What is the "see and avoid" rule? - ✔✔The remote PIC has a responsibility to
remain clear of and yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, manned or unmanned, and
avoid other potential hazards that may affect the Remote PIC's operation of the aircraft.
✔✔what is a NOTAM and why is it important? - ✔✔NOTAM = Notice to Airmen.
These are important because these they contain Temporary Flight Restrictions that
could be pertinent to UAS.
✔✔Why should Remote PICs should request ATC authorization as soon as possible
prior to any operation in Class B, C and D airspace and within the lateral boundaries of
, the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport? - ✔✔Because ATC has
no established timeline for when they can give approval. Thus, arragements should be
made as soon as possible.
✔✔Why is frequency interference something to be considered with small UAS? -
✔✔radio interference of
✔✔You may not operate a small unmanned aircraft directly over another person unless
that person is: - ✔✔1.) Directly involved in the operation (such as a visual observer or
other crewmember)
OR
2.) Within a safe cover, such as inside a stationary vehicle or a protective structure that
would protect a person from harm if the small unmanned aircraft were to crash into that
structure
✔✔What are the rules of transporting another person's property? - ✔✔- less than 55 lbs
- intrastate
- No items may be dropped from UAS iin a dnagerous manner
- don't operate from moving land vehicle or water born vessel
✔✔how far in advance of use must an application for a certificate of waiver be used? -
✔✔90 days
✔✔Scenario 1: A professional wildlife photographer operates a small UAS from a
moving truck to capture aerial images of migrating birds in remote wetlands. The driver
of the truck does not serve any crewmember role in the operation. - ✔✔Compliant with
part 107 (sparsely populated region)
✔✔Scenario 2: Power company employees use a small UAS to inspect a long stretch of
high voltage powerlines. Due to muddy conditions, their vehicle must stay beside the
road and the crew uses binoculars to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft. -
✔✔Not compliant with part 107 (excessive use of binoculars)
✔✔Scenario 3: Personnel at an outdoor concert venue use a small UAS to drop
promotional t-shirts and CDs over the audience. - ✔✔Not compliant with part 107
✔✔What is a lost link? - ✔✔Lost link is an interruption or loss of the control link between
the control station and the unmanned aircraft, preventing control of the aircraft. As a
result, the unmanned aircraft performs pre-set lost link procedures.
✔✔Define flight termination - ✔✔The intentional and deliberate process of performing
controlled flight to the ground. Flight termination may be part of lost link procedures, or it
may be a contingency that you elect to use if further flight of the aircraft cannot be safely
