Systems Study Guide (Advisory Circular
107-2/Study Guide Section) Questions
and Answers Already Passed
How does temperature affect drone battery life?
✔✔ Cold temperatures can reduce battery efficiency and shorten flight time
What is the safest way to land a drone in an emergency?
✔✔ Descend slowly and find a clear, flat area for landing
Why should a remote pilot avoid flying near power lines?
✔✔ Electrical interference can disrupt signals and increase the risk of collision
How can a remote pilot determine if a drone is properly balanced?
✔✔ Ensure it hovers steadily without drifting or tilting
Why is a post-flight inspection important?
✔✔ To check for damage and ensure the drone is ready for the next flight
1
,What should a remote pilot do if a motor fails mid-flight?
✔✔ Attempt to control descent and land safely
Why must a remote pilot be aware of local drone laws?
✔✔ Regulations may vary by location and impact where and how they can fly
How can a remote pilot ensure their drone is visible in bright sunlight?
✔✔ Use high-contrast markings or attach reflective tape
What is the purpose of a return-to-home function?
✔✔ To safely bring the drone back to its launch point if communication is lost
How can a remote pilot prevent overheating during summer flights?
✔✔ Fly during cooler times of day and avoid prolonged hovering
Why should a drone’s flight log be reviewed regularly?
✔✔ To analyze performance and detect any recurring issues
2
, What is the most effective way to communicate with a visual observer?
✔✔ Use clear, concise commands and establish pre-arranged signals
Why is it important to follow manufacturer guidelines for drone maintenance?
✔✔ To ensure reliability and extend the drone’s lifespan
What should a remote pilot do if they detect an aircraft approaching?
✔✔ Immediately descend or maneuver to avoid conflict
How can a remote pilot improve their reaction time during flight?
✔✔ Practice flying in different conditions and scenarios
Why must a remote pilot avoid flying near radio towers?
✔✔ Strong signals can interfere with the drone’s communication system
What is the maximum altitude allowed for small unmanned aircraft operations?
✔✔ 400 feet above ground level
