During your preflight inspection, you discover that the casing of your sUAS battery has expanded beyond
its normal dimensions. What action should you take?
A - Throw it away with your household trash.
B - Use it as long as it will still hold a charge.
C - Follow the guidance. - correct answer ✔✔C - Follow the guidance.
While preparing your sUAS for flight, you notice that one of the propeller blades has a nick. What action
should you take?
A - If the nick is less than 1/4 the length of the blade, it is safe to operate without replacement.
,B - Remove and replace the propeller; consult manufacturer guidelines for repair, if any.
C - Repair by filing the nick to a smooth curve or with adhesive approved for use on the propeller
material. - correct answer ✔✔B - Remove and replace the propeller; consult manufacturer guidelines for
repair, if any.
In which of the following scenarios is a remote PIC not required to perform a preflight inspection of their
sUAS?
A - If the subsequent flight occurs immediately following a flight before which an inspection was made.
B - Preflight inspections are only required for the first flight of the day, so any other flight does not
require such an inspection.
C - Preflight inspections are required before each flight, thus there is no scenario that precludes such an
inspection. - correct answer ✔✔C - Preflight inspections are required before each flight, thus there is no
scenario that precludes such an inspection.
Inbound to an airport with no tower, FSS, or UNICOM in operation, a pilot should self-announce on
MULTICOM frequency
A - 123.0.
B - 122.9.
C - 122.7. - correct answer ✔✔B - 122.9.
The aircraft call sign N1691JS will be spoken in this way:
A - November one six niner uniform sierra.
B - November one six niner unmanned system.
C - November one hundred sixty nine uniform sierra. - correct answer ✔✔A - November one six niner
uniform sierra.
When flying HAWK N666CB, the proper phraseology for initial contact with Whitted ATC tower is
A - "Whitted Tower, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CHARLIE BRAVO, five NM west of the airport, request permission
to enter Class D airspace for unmanned aircraft operations below four hundred AGL, three NM west ot
the airport"
B - "Whitted, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CEE BEE, requesting to operate within Class D, west of the field"
C - "Whitted tower, Triple Six Charlie Bravo, five NM west, operating in Class D below four hundred AGL
west of the airport" - correct answer ✔✔A - "Whitted Tower, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CHARLIE BRAVO, five NM
, west of the airport, request permission to enter Class D airspace for unmanned aircraft operations below
four hundred AGL, three NM west ot the airport"
The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is
A - "FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED."
B - "FOUR POINT FIVE."
C - "FORTY-FIVE HUNDRED FEET MSL" - correct answer ✔✔A - "FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED."
What is the best way for the remote PIC to minimize the risk of radio frequency interference during sUAS
operations?
A - Never transmit on aviation frequency ranges during flight operations.
B - Monitor frequency use with a spectral analyzer.
C - Avoid the use of cellphones in the vicinity of the control station. - correct answer ✔✔B - Monitor
frequency use with a spectral analyzer.
1220. (Refer to Figure 20, area 3.) What is the recommended communications procedure for a landing at
Currituck County Airport?
A - Transmit intentions on 122.9 MHz when 10 miles out and give position reports in the traffic pattern.
B - Contact Elizabeth City FSS for airport advisory service.
C - Contact New Bern FSS for area traffic information. - correct answer ✔✔A - Transmit intentions on
122.9 MHz when 10 miles out and give position reports in the traffic pattern.
When should pilots state their position on the airport when calling the tower for takeoff?
A - When visibility is less than 1 mile.
B - When parallel runways are in use.
C - When departing from a runway intersection. - correct answer ✔✔C - When departing from a runway
intersection.
As standard operating practice, all inbound and local traffic approaching or near an airport without a
control tower should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of
A - 25 miles.
