Info: A temperature inversion means some warm air on top of some cold air. The cold air underneath on the ground, along with a high relative humidity, means you are expecting fog in the cooler area. You should also check the METARS for the airports in the area as you will
Info: This is the part of the decision making process which relies on situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment to reduce risks associated with each flight.
A local TV station has hired a remote pilot to operate their small UA to cover breaking news stories. The remote pilot has had multiple near misses with obstacles on the ground and two small UAS accidents. What would be a solution for the news station to improve their operating safety culture? - โ โ The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety.
When adapting crew resource management (CRM) concepts to the operation of a small UA, CRM must be integrated into: - โ โ All phases of the operation.
Info: All groups routinely working with the flight crew who are involved in decisions required to operate a flight safely. These groups include, but are not limited to pilots, dispatchers, cabin crew members, maintenance personnel, and air traffic controllers.
When a remote pilot-in-command and a visual observer define their roles and responsibilities prior to and during the operation of a small UA is a good use of: - โ โ Crew Resource Management.

Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body? - โ โ Judgment and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.
Which technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic? A remote pilot should: - โ โ Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
Info: From the AIM 8โ1โ6. (c), "Because the eyes can focus only on this narrow viewing area, effective scanning is accomplished with a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field. Each movement should not exceed 10 degrees, and each area should be observed for at least 1 second to enable detection. Although horizontal back-and-forth eye movements seem preferred by most pilots, each pilot should develop a scanning pattern that is most comfortable and then adhere to it to assure optimum scanning.
According to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 107 (14 CFR Part 107), a remote pilot must register their small unmanned aircraft (sUAS) if it weighs: - โ โ Between .55 lbs and 55 lbs
According to 14 CFR Part 107, the minimum age requirement to qualify to take the Part 107 Airman Knowledge test is: - โ โ 16 years of age or older.
According to 14 CFR part 107, what is required to operate a small UA within 30 minutes after official sunset? - โ โ Use of anti-collision lights.
To avoid possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet AGL. To whom must you report the deviation? - โ โ Upon request of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Which thunderstorm lifecycle stage is mostly characterized by downdrafts? - โ โ Dissipating
An aircraft announces, "left downwind for runway one six". This means that the aircraft is on a heading of: - โ โ 340 degrees
Info: If an aircraft is left downwind of the runway, it means they're flying parallel to the runway, in the opposite, downwind direction (the runway is to the pilot's left, hence "left downwind"). So the opposite heading (or 180 degrees from) 160 degrees is 340 degrees. It can be helpful to sketch this type of question out on a separate sheet of paper.
While monitoring the Cooperstown CTAF you hear an aircraft announce that they are midfield left downwind to RWY 13. Where would the aircraft be relative to the runway? - โ โ The aircraft is East.
Info: The trick is to know that "left downwind" means the aircraft is flying parallel to the runway, where the runway is to the "left" of the pilot, and the aircraft is flying opposite (or 180 degrees) from the Runway 13 heading of 130 degrees. Again, if you're having trouble with compass orientation, it can be really helpful to sketch this one out on a blank sheet of paper. Make sure to review the Airport Operations lecture!
A small UA causes an accident and your crew member loses consciousness. When do you report the accident? - โ โ Within 10 days of the accident.
Info: [107.9 Accident reporting. "No later than 10 calendar days after an operation that meets the criteria of either paragraph (a) or (b) of this section[.]"]

After having dinner and wine, your client asks you to go outside to demonstrate the small UAs capabilities. You must: - โ โ Not operate a small UA within 8 hours of consuming any alcoholic beverage.
Info: 8 hours bottle to throttle. Doesn't matter if you aren't even buzzed or if the alcohol hasn't got into your system yet.
During a flight of your small UA, you observe a hot air balloon entering the area. You should: - โ โ Yield the right-of-way to the hot air balloon.
Info: 107.37 says, "(a) Each small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch and reentry vehicles. Yielding the right of way means that the small unmanned aircraft must give way to the aircraft or vehicle and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear."
Prior authorization required for operation in certain airspace. According to 14 CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in class C airspace? - โ โ The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
Info: You must have an airspace waiver. ยง107.41 says, "No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior
authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC)." The FAA is handling those authorizations via a waiver process currently. Let me know if you need one!
According to 14 CFR part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft? - โ โ Remote pilot-in- command.
Info: See 107.19. Learn the short version of this regulation. "If anything goes wrong, it is most likely the PIC's fault." You shouldn't let anyone force you into flying somewhere or doing something you feel is unsafe.
According to 14 CFR part 107, what is the maximum groundspeed for a small UA? - โ โ 87 knots.
Info: 87 knots = 100 mph
