must the Remote PIC report the accident to the FAA?
A) 24 hours
B) 48 hours
C) 7 calendar days
D) 10 calendar days
E) 30 calendar days

online recurrent training course (ALC-677) every:
A) 6 calendar months
B) 12 calendar months
C) 24 calendar months
D) 36 calendar months
E) 48 calendar months
Correct Answer: C) 24 calendar months
Rationale: Remote Pilot Certificates do not expire, but the privileges to fly under Part 107
require the pilot to stay "current." This currency is maintained by completing the FAA-
approved recurrent training every 24 calendar months.
Question 4
A "small" unmanned aircraft (sUAS) is defined as an aircraft weighing:
, 2
A) Less than 10 pounds
B) Less than 25 pounds
C) Exactly 55 pounds
D) Less than 55 pounds
E) More than 55 pounds
Correct Answer: D) Less than 55 pounds
Rationale: Part 107 defines a small UAS as an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 lbs
on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft.
Question 5
Which of the following operations is specifically governed by 14 CFR Part 107?
A) Public aircraft operated under a COA
B) Civil and commercial drone operations
C) Model aircraft flown strictly for hobby use
D) Military drone operations
E) Amateur rocket launches
Correct Answer: B) civil/commercial operations
Rationale: Part 107 is the regulatory framework specifically for civil (non-public) and
commercial small UAS operations. It does not apply to hobbyists flying under the
Exception for Limited Recreational Operations or public aircraft under a COA.
Question 6
If a certificated Remote Pilot changes their permanent mailing address, how many days do they
have to notify the FAA of this change?
A) 10 days
B) 15 days
C) 30 days
D) 60 days
E) 90 days
Correct Answer: C) 30 days
Rationale: The FAA requires certificate holders to maintain an updated mailing address in
their records. Notification of a change in address must be made within 30 days of the move.
Question 7
Who has the final authority and is directly responsible for the operation of the sUAS conducted
under Part 107?
A) The Visual Observer (VO)
B) The FAA Administrator
C) The Remote Pilot in Command (Remote PIC)
D) The owner of the drone
E) The person manipulating the controls
, 3
Correct Answer: C) Remote PIC
Rationale: Under Part 107, the Remote PIC is the individual who holds the final authority
for the safety and regulatory compliance of the flight operation, regardless of who is
actually holding the controller.
Question 8
A person who does not hold a Remote Pilot Certificate may operate an sUAS for commercial
purposes only if:
A) They are at least 18 years old.
B) They have passed the initial knowledge test but are waiting for the certificate.
C) They are supervised by a certificated Remote PIC who can immediately take control.
D) The drone is flown in a sparsely populated area.
E) They are flying a drone that weighs less than 0.55 lbs.
Correct Answer: C) They're being directly supervised by a certificated Remote PIC who has
the ability to immediately take direct control of the sUAS.
Rationale: Non-certificated individuals can fly under Part 107 as long as a certificated
Remote PIC is present and capable of taking over the flight controls instantly, often
through a "buddy box" system.
Question 9
Under what condition is a "buddy box" system used in sUAS operations?
A) To extend the range of the radio signal.
B) To allow two pilots to fly two different drones simultaneously.
C) To allow a certificated Remote PIC to supervise a non-certificated operator.
D) To record flight data for maintenance purposes.
E) To provide a secondary screen for the Visual Observer.
Correct Answer: C) To allow a certificated Remote PIC to supervise a non-certificated
operator.
Rationale: A "buddy box" connects two controllers, allowing the Remote PIC to let a
student or non-certificated person fly while maintaining the ability to take control instantly
to prevent an accident.
Question 10
A crew member is prohibited from participating in an sUAS operation if they are in a physical or
mental state that could interfere with safety. This includes:
