regardless of gross weight.
(Refer to Figure 80.) What do the blue shaded lines indicate throughout this sectional

7. The most comprehensive information on a given airport is provided by -
ANSWERThe Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly the Airport/Facility Directory).
8. If you are caught smoking marijuana the FAA will - ANSWERIssue 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? - ANSWERWithin 10 days.

PIC when operating an sUAS? - ANSWERPerson manipulating the controls.
21. (Refer to Figure 26, area 5). The airspace overlying and within 5 miles of Barnes
County Airport is - ANSWERClass 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? - ANSWERShortened endurance.
23. Wind shear can exist - ANSWERat 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)? - ANSWER1,400 feet AGL.
11. During the life cycle of a thunderstorm, which stage is characterized
predominantly by downdrafts? - ANSWERDissipating
12. The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane
depends upon the - ANSWERspeed 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? - ANSWERTurbulent
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
- ANSWER19 feet.
15. The recommended entry position for manned aircraft to enter an airport traffic
pattern is - ANSWERto enter 45° at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic
pattern altitude.

recorded information concerning - ANSWERnon-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? - ANSWERRestricted 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 -
ANSWERRemote Pilot-in-Command.
19. What speed limit applies to sUAS operations? - ANSWER100 mph.
25. While operating around buildings, the remote PIC should be aware of the
creation of wind gusts that - ANSWERchange rapidly in direction and speed causing
turbulence.
26. What are characteristics of a moist, unstable air mass? - ANSWERTurbulence
and showery precipitation.
27. Inbound to an airport with no tower, FSS, or UNICOM in operation, a pilot should
self-announce on MULTICOM frequency - ANSWER122.9
