Controlled Airspace
This class of airspace surrounds the busiest airports with multiple layers.
What is Class B?
This is the maximum altitude drones can fly without special permission.
What is 400 feet?
This control moves the drone up and down.
What is Throttle?
What is the first thing we code in DroneBlocks?
What is "Take off"?
In manual flight, who controls the drone’s movements?
Who is the pilot?
This airspace typically surrounds mid-sized airports and often has a two-layer structure.
What is Class C?
True or False: You can fly your drone directly over a crowd of people.
What is False?
This movement tilts the drone forward and backward.
What is Pitch?
This phrase should be announced before a drone takes off.
What is “Launching” (or similar)?
True or False: Manual flight requires more attention than coded flight.
What is True?
This airspace is found at smaller airports with control towers but less traffic and no shelves of altitude transitions.
What is Class D?
You are flying near a stadium during a football game. Can you fly?
What is No (temporary flight restriction / not allowed)?
This movement tilts the drone side to side.
What is Roll?
Should you write and review your code before flying?
What is Yes?
Before manual flight, you should always check this around you.
What is surroundings / obstacles / people?
This airspace is controlled but does NOT require a control tower and can exist in many places.
What is Class E?
This should be worn to protect your eyes when working near spinning propellers.
What is safety glasses (PPE)?
This control rotates the drone left or right without tilting.
What is Yaw?
If your drone won’t connect, this is something you should check first.
What is WiFi / Tello connection / battery?
Which type of flight gives you more real-time control—manual or coded?
What is manual flight?
This is the most common type of controlled airspace and often begins at 700 or 1,200 feet above ground.
What is Class E?
Why is it important to follow FAA rules when flying drones?
What is to ensure safety of people, aircraft, and property?
Which control is the only movement measured in degrees?
What is Yaw?
If a propeller is damaged, what should you do before flying again?
What is repair or replace it?
Why might a pilot choose manual flight over coded flight in a real-world situation?
What is for better control, quick reactions, or adjusting to unexpected obstacles?
