Remote Pilot certification test for sUAS
CS (Control Station) - correct answer ✔✔Interface used by the RP to control the flight path of the sUA.
sUA (Small Unmanned Aircraft) - correct answer ✔✔Unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 lbs,
including everything that is onboard or attached.
sUAS (Small unmanned aircraft system) - correct answer ✔✔An sUA AND ITS ASSOCIATED ELEMENTS
THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE sUA in the national airspace system.
UA (unmanned aircraft) - correct answer ✔✔Aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human
intervention fro within or on the aircraft.
VO (Visual Observer) - correct answer ✔✔Person who is designated by the remote pilot in command to
assist the remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the sUAS to see
and avoid other traffic or objects aloft or on the ground.
Person Manipulating the Controls - correct answer ✔✔Person other than the remote pilot in command
who is controlling the flight of an sUAS under the supervision of the PIC
RPIC (Remote Pilot in Command) - correct answer ✔✔Person who holds a remote pilot certificate with
an sUAS rating and has the final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of an sUAS
operation conducted under part 107.
Accident Reporting - correct answer ✔✔The remote PIC of the sUAS must report an accident to the FAA
Regional Ops Center (ROC) within 10 days if it meets the threshholds
Accident Reporting Threshholds - correct answer ✔✔a. At least serious injury (level 3 or higher) to any
person or loss of consciousness
b. Damage to any property other than the UA, if the cost is > $500 to repair or replace
,AIS - correct answer ✔✔-Abbreviated Injury Scale. Anatomical Scoring system that ranks accident
severity.
-Used by emergency medical personnel.
Level 3 injury (AIS) - correct answer ✔✔-"serious injury".
-Requires hospitalization, but fully reversible. (broken bones, head trauma, lacerations requiring stitches
Accident Reporting (Cost greater than $500 to repair/replace) - correct answer ✔✔-Whichever is lower.
-Damage to a property with a FMV of $200, but it would cost $600 to repair/replace.
Accident report content requirements (7) - correct answer ✔✔-RPIC name & contact info
-RPIC FAA airman certificate #
-UAS reg #
-Location, Date & time of accident
-Person(s) injured and extent of injury
-Property damaged and extent of damage
-Description of what happened
FAA inspection, testing & demonstration of compliance - correct answer ✔✔RPIC, owner, or person
manipulating the flight controls of sUAS must provide:
-RP certificate
-All other required docs
-Must allow FAA administrator to test or inspect the sUAS, RPIC, or person manipulating the controls &
VO
Registration requirements for sUAS - correct answer ✔✔sUAS must be registered under part 47 or 48 of
14 CFR
Preflight Inspection - correct answer ✔✔Before beginning any flight operation involving a small UAS:
-Assess the operating environment
, -Inform any supporting crew members about the operation and their roles
-Inspect the small UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation
-Maintain documents required in the event of an on-site FAA inspection
AIIM
Medical conditions that would interfere with safe op of UAS - correct answer ✔✔-Temp or permanent
loss of dexterity
-Inability to maintain the required "see & Avoid" vigilance due to blurred vision
-Inab. to maintain situational awareness due to illness and/or medications
-debilitating physical cond. (i.e., migraine)
night operation - correct answer ✔✔-Prohibited to fly
-Defined as the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil
twilight.
Operation during civil twilight - correct answer ✔✔sUAS must be equipped with anti-collision lights
visible for at least 3 sm (allowable to reduce this if it impedes the PIC's night vision).
See & Avoid - correct answer ✔✔Operating the sUA so it remains clear of and yields to all other aircraft.
Operation over people - correct answer ✔✔-Prohibited
-unless they are directly participating in the operation of the sUAS or
-Located under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle.
required sUAS Cloud clearance - correct answer ✔✔500 feet below clouds
2000 feet horizontally
