1. What is the primary purpose of the FAA Part 107 regulations?
A. To regulate commercial manned aircraft only
B. To establish rules for the safe operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS)
C. To regulate airport construction
D. To certify airline pilots only
CORRECT ANSWER: B — To establish rules for the safe operation of small unmanned
aircraft systems (sUAS)
RATIONALE:
FAA Part 107 establishes operational requirements for commercial small unmanned aircraft
systems to ensure safety within the National Airspace System (NAS).
2. Under Part 107, what is the maximum allowable altitude for routine sUAS
operations unless otherwise authorized?
A. 200 feet AGL
B. 300 feet AGL
C. 400 feet AGL
D. 600 feet AGL
CORRECT ANSWER: C — 400 feet AGL
RATIONALE:
Part 107 generally limits drone operations to 400 feet above ground level (AGL) unless
operating near a structure as permitted by regulation.
,3. What is the maximum allowable groundspeed for a small unmanned aircraft
under Part 107?
A. 60 mph (52 knots)
B. 80 mph (70 knots)
C. 100 mph (87 knots)
D. 120 mph (104 knots)
CORRECT ANSWER: C — 100 mph (87 knots)
RATIONALE:
The maximum permitted groundspeed for a small UAS operating under Part 107 is 100 mph (87
knots).
4. Who is directly responsible for the safe operation of a drone during a Part 107
flight?
A. Air Traffic Control
B. Visual Observer
C. Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC)
D. Drone manufacturer
CORRECT ANSWER: C — Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC)
RATIONALE:
The Remote Pilot in Command has final authority and responsibility for ensuring the safe
operation of the aircraft.
5. What does VLOS stand for?
A. Visual Landing Operating System
B. Visual Line of Sight
C. Vertical Landing Observation System
D. Visual Location Operating Standard
CORRECT ANSWER: B — Visual Line of Sight
RATIONALE:
The drone must generally remain within the visual line of sight of the Remote Pilot or an
authorized Visual Observer throughout the flight.
, 6. Before each flight, the remote pilot must:
A. Fly immediately after powering on the drone
B. Conduct a preflight inspection to ensure safe operation
C. Contact every nearby airport regardless of location
D. Replace all propellers
CORRECT ANSWER: B — Conduct a preflight inspection to ensure safe operation
RATIONALE:
A thorough preflight inspection helps identify equipment issues and operational hazards before
takeoff.
7. Which weather condition presents the greatest immediate hazard to drone
operations?
A. Clear skies
B. Light breeze
C. Thunderstorms with lightning
D. Broken clouds
CORRECT ANSWER: C — Thunderstorms with lightning
RATIONALE:
Thunderstorms create severe turbulence, strong winds, lightning, and rapidly changing weather
conditions that make drone operations unsafe.
8. Which airspace class generally requires FAA authorization before operating
under Part 107?
A. Class G
B. Class B
C. Uncontrolled airspace only
D. Remote wilderness airspace
CORRECT ANSWER: B — Class B
