Loading and Performance
What are the 4 forces of flight?
Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag
According to 14 CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in class C airspace?
The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
A stable air mass is most likely to have which characteristic?
Smooth Air
*A stable air mass has little vertical movement of the air, and is smooth rather than turbulent.
Which technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic? A remote pilot should
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
The "runway hold position" sign denotes
an entrance to runway from a taxiway.
What effect, if any, does high humidity have on aircraft performance?
It decreases performance.
Unless otherwise specified, Federal Airways include that Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet MSL.
What clouds have the greatest turbulence?
Cumulonimbus
The FAA may approve your application for a waiver of provisions in part 107 only when it has been determined that the proposed operation:
Can be safely conducted under the terms of that certificate of waiver.
Scheduled maintenance should be performed in accordance with the:
Manufacturer's suggested procedures.
Center of gravity can be found by
dividing total moment by total weight.
What action should a remote pilot take when operating in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?
Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
A temperature inversion would most likely result in which weather condition?
An increase in temperature as altitude is increased.
Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability, or LAANC, gives you
nearly instantaneous airspace authorization to fly your drone in controlled airspace.
When a control tower, located on an airport within Class D airspace, ceases operation for the day, what happens to the airspace designation?
The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.
A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane's wing is disrupted, and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing
exceeds its critical angle of attack.
What is the maximum allowable groundspeed for a UAV beneath Class B airspace?
87 knots.
Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
Precipitation beginning to fall.
If you bring an sUAS that was registered in another country to operate in the U.S. under Part 107 you must
obtain a Foreign Aircraft Permit.
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits
two quick, white flashes between green flashes.
When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings may be increased any time
the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight.
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on
the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.
Which weather conditions should be expected beneath a low-level temperature inversion layer when the relative humidity is high? (5 conditions)
Smooth air, poor visibility, fog, haze, or low clouds
While operating under Part 107 you crash your sUAS into parking lot lighting, which would cost $300 to repair or $750 to replace. Within how many days must you report this accident?
You are not required to report this accident.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight:
"TRAFFIC 2 O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND..."
Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.
