| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The number of drones you can fly simultaneously. | 1 |
| The maximum height you can fly AGL or above a taller building within a 400-foot radius. | 400 feet |
| Fastest you can fly. (mph/knots) | 100 mph / 87 knots (can get waiver for faster) |
| The lightest drone that must be registered (must be more than, not equal to, .55 lbs). | 0.55 lbs |
| Heaviest legal drone (must be less than, not equal to, 55 lbs). | 55 lbs |
| Maximum blood alcohol level. | 0.04 BAL |
| The time that must pass since you have had alcohol. | 8 hours |
| The maximum time you can take to file an FAA accident report. | 10 days |
| The time you have to notify the FAA if you move. | 30 days |
| The lead time required when requesting an FAA waiver. | 90 days |
| Time that must pass after a final narcotics conviction. | 1 year |
| The youngest person who can register a drone. | 13 years old |
| How long this certification is good for. | 24 months |
| The twilight time before sunrise or after sunset when you can still fly. | 30 minutes |
| The distance your anti-collision lights must be visible from when flying during twilight. Also the minimum visibility you must have while flying. | 3 SM (statute miles) |
| Minimum number of feet below a cloud you must fly. | 500 feet |
| Minimum number of feet horizontally from a cloud you must fly. | 2000 feet |
| The repair cost of accident damage that requires you to report an accident to the FAA | $500 |
| The “serious injury” AIS level that requires you to file an accident report. | Level 3 |
| If you fly over 400 feet to avoid an accident. Who do you report to? | FAA, only on request |
| The MULTICOM frequency for self-announce procedures. | 122.9 |
| The distance you should operate from a tower to avoid hitting guy wires. | 2000 feet |
| Occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack. | Stalls |
| Pilots Operating Handbook | no such thing - trick question |
| Center of Gravity (CG) Limits | Supposed to be defined in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual, but those don’t exist for drones. |
| Angle of attack | Determines when the craft stalls. This doesn’t change if the vehicle weight changes. |
| Load Factor does what during a maneuver | Increases |
| Remote PIC | This is the answer to any question about who is responsible. |
| How do you approach a runway | Left - Aircraft always turn left when circling a runway, because drivers sit on the left side of the car in the US, and pilots sit on the left of the plane, too. It’s easier for them to look out the left window to see the tower. |
| Maintenance schedule | You’re supposed to have one, even though most drones can’t be user-repaired and don’t provide a schedule. |
| What Helps to prevent an accident chain? | Risk Management |
| Machismo. | Taking risks to impress others |
| Impulsivity | Doing something without thinking about it. |
| Class A Airspace | From 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet, all over the US. |
| Class B Airspace | Surrounding major airports, 0-10,000 feet. Consists of multiple layers, like an upside-down wedding cake. |
| Class C Airspace | Surrounding airports with a control tower, radar, and over a specific amount of traffic. Usually 5 NM (nautical mile) radius from 0-4,000 feet, and a 10 NM radius from 1,200-4,000 feet. |
| Class D Airspace | Surrounding airports with a control tower. 0-2,500 feet, no specific radius, just shaped around flight patterns. Outside control tower hours, Class D airspace is Class G. |
| Class E Airspace | Usually it starts at 1,200 feet and goes up to 18,000 feet. |
| Class G Airspace | Uncontrolled airspace (below class E airspace). |
| Most Restricted and Least Restricted Airspace | Class B and Class E |
| Need ATC (Air Traffic Control) for what Classes | B, C and D (get through LAANC) |
| Remote PIC | Remote Pilot in Command (the drone driver) |
| CTAF | Used for Pilot to self announce - will need to know what frequency to use when looking at a chart |
| Multicom | What to do when there is no CTAF frequency, 122.9 or 122.95 |
| Unicom | Same as CTAF - |
| FSS | |
| AWOS | Weather broadcast |
