REMOTE PILOT - SMALL UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS STUDY GUIDE
QUIZLET (ADVISORY CIRCULAR 107-
2/STUDY GUIDE SECTION)QUESTIONS
& ANSWERS!!
Advisory Circular (AC) 107-2 - ANSWERProvides guidance in the areas of airman
(remote pilot) certification, aircraft registration & marking, aircraft airworthiness, and
the operation of sUAS' in the National Airspace System (NAS) to promote
compliance with the requirements of Title 14's Chapter 1F's Part 107, and sUAS'. It
isn't intended on providing a legal interpretation of said regulations. It isn't a
regulation and doesn't change, add, or delete and regulations.
What is a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS)? - ANSWERThe control
station/remote control and the communication link between the control station &
sUAV/drone.
What is a Control Station (CS)? - ANSWERAn interface used by the remote PIC or
the person manipulating the controls to control the flight path of the sUAS.
This is the remote control.
What are corrective lenses? - ANSWERSpectacles or contact lenses
What's a model aircraft? - ANSWERAny UA that's:
•Capable of sustained flight.
• Flown within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of the person manipulating the flight
controls.
• Flown for hobby or recreational purposes.
Who is a "Person Manipulating the Controls"? - ANSWERSomeone other than the
remote PIC who is controlling the flight of a sUAS under the supervision of the
remote PIC.
Remote Pilot-in-Command (Remote PIC) - ANSWERAnybody who holds a not
expired remote pilot certificate with a sUAS rating. They have the final authority &
responsibility for the operation & safety of the sUAS.
This is the owner of the sUAV & sUAS.
, What is an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV)? - ANSWERAny drone that weighs
less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that's on board or otherwise
attached to it.
Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) - ANSWERa systematic approach to the
mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in
response to a given set of circumstances.
Crew Resource Management (CRM) - ANSWERA component of ADM, where the
pilot of a sUAS makes effective use of all available resources: human resources,
hardware, and information.
Who is a Visual Observer (VO)? - ANSWERA person acting as a flightcrew member
who assists the remote PIC & the person manipulating the controls to see & avoid
other air traffic, objects aloft, or aircraft on the ground
Information - ANSWERThe FAA relies on _______ provided by owners and remote
pilots of sUAS when it authorizes operations or when it has to make a compliance
determination. Accordingly, the FAA may take appropriate action against an sUAS
owner, operator, remote PIC, or anyone else who fraudulently or knowingly provides
false records or reports, or otherwise reproduces or alters any records, reports, or
other information for fraudulent purposes. Such action could include civil sanctions
and the suspension or revocation of a certificate or waiver
When does the remote PIC have to report an accident to the FAA (or NTSB in some
cases)? - ANSWER(1) Serious injury to anybody or any loss of consciousness. A
serious injury is an injury that qualifies as Level 3 or higher on the Abbreviated Injury
Scale (AIS) of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM).
(2) Damage to any property, other than the sUAV, but only if the cost is greater than
$500 to repair or replace the property (whichever is lower).
What is the time limit for reporting a crash to the FAA? - ANSWER10 calendar days,
starting at the time of the crash
Where in the FAA do you submit a crash report? - ANSWERthe appropriate FAA
Regional Operations Center (ROC), electronically or by telephone
What should a crash report include? - ANSWER1. sUAS remote PIC's name &
contact information.
2. sUAS remote PIC's FAA airman certificate number.
3. sUAS' FAA registration number, if required
4. Location of the crash.
5. Date of the crash.
6. Time of the crash.
