Sample question
What a FAA Part 107 question looks like.
Under Part 107, what is the maximum altitude a small unmanned aircraft may be flown above ground level when not operating near a structure?
See the answer & explanation
Correct: B. 400 feet AGL
Why: Part 107 limits operations to 400 feet AGL. The aircraft may exceed this only when flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure and no higher than 400 feet above that structure's uppermost limit.
