UAS Remote Pilot Practice Exam 2023 Questions and
Answers with complete solution
(Refer to Figure 78). What is the minimum base of the cloud layer to fly to the top of the
towers 4 NM east of Onawa (K36)?
792 feet AGL.
The angle of attack at which an airfoil stalls will
remain the same regardless of gross weight.
(Refer to Figure 80.) What do the blue shaded lines indicate throughout this sectional
excerpt?
Victor airways.
A UAS loaded with the most rearward center of gravity is
less stable at all speeds.
What may be used to assist compliance with maintaining situational awareness?
Binoculars
6. Public figures are protected by
Temporary Flight Restrictions.
7. The most comprehensive information on a given airport is provided by
The Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly the Airport/Facility Directory).
8. If you are caught smoking marijuana the FAA will
Issue an immediate suspension or revocation of your pilot certificate.
9. You are part of a news crew, operating an sUAS to cover a breaking story. You
experience a flyaway during landing. The unmanned aircraft strikes a vehicle, causing
approximately $800 worth of damage. When must you report the accident to the FAA?
Within 10 days.
10. (Refer to Figure 21). What airport is located approximately 47°40'N latitude and
101°26'W longitude?
Garrison Airport.
11. During the life cycle of a thunderstorm, which stage is characterized predominantly
by downdrafts?
Dissipating
12. The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends
upon the
speed of the airplane.
13. A strong steady wind exists out of the north. You need to photograph an area to the
south of your location. You are located in an open field with no obstructions. Which of
the following is not a concern during this operation?
Turbulent conditions will likely be a significant factor during the operation.
14. (Refer to Figure 20, area 2). The elevation of the Chesapeake Regional Airport is
19 feet.
15. The recommended entry position for manned aircraft to enter an airport traffic
pattern is
to enter 45° at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.
16. Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of
recorded information concerning
, non-control information in selected high-activity terminal areas.
17. (Refer to Figure 26, area 1.) You have been asked to inspect the tower just north of
Binford. What restrictions should the Remote PIC be concerned with prior to operating
the sUAS?
Restricted airspace exists around the tower thus permission is required from the
controlling agency.
18. According to 14 CFR Part 107, the responsibility to inspect the small unmanned
aircraft system (sUAS) to ensure it is in safe operating condition rests with the
Remote Pilot-in-Command.
19. What speed limit applies to sUAS operations?
100 mph.
20. Which crewmember is required to be under the direct supervision of the remote PIC
when operating an sUAS?
Person manipulating the controls.
21. (Refer to Figure 26, area 5). The airspace overlying and within 5 miles of Barnes
County Airport is
Class G airspace from the surface up to but not including 700 feet AGL.
22. What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its
maximum allowable weight?
Shortened endurance.
23. Wind shear can exist
at all altitudes.
24. In accordance with 14 CFR Part 107, at what maximum altitude can you operate an
sUAS when inspecting a tower with a top at 1,000 feet AGL at close proximity (within
100 feet)?
1,400 feet AGL.
25. While operating around buildings, the remote PIC should be aware of the creation of
wind gusts that
change rapidly in direction and speed causing turbulence.
26. What are characteristics of a moist, unstable air mass?
Turbulence and showery precipitation.
27. Inbound to an airport with no tower, FSS, or UNICOM in operation, a pilot should
self-announce on MULTICOM frequency
122.9
28. You plan to operate a 33 lb. sUAS to capture aerial imagery over real estate for use
in sales listings. What FAA regulation is this sUAS operation subject to?
14 CFR Part 107.
29. Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?
Judgment and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small
amounts of alcohol.
30. The numbers 14 and 22 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented
approximately
140° and 220° magnetic.
1. Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to
straight-and-level flight?
Turns
