Q1. Under Part 107, what is the maximum altitude a small unmanned aircraft may be flown above ground level when not operating near a structure?
Correct answer: B. 400 feet AGL
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.
Q2. A remote pilot wants to inspect a 700-foot broadcast tower using a small drone. How high may the aircraft legally be flown under the standard Part 107 altitude rule?
Correct answer: B. Up to 1,100 feet AGL, since it stays within 400 feet of the tower's top while within a 400-foot radius
When operating within 400 feet horizontally of a structure, the aircraft may fly up to 400 feet above the structure's uppermost limit. A 700-foot tower therefore permits operation up to 1,100 feet AGL within that radius.
Q3. What is the maximum groundspeed permitted for a small unmanned aircraft under Part 107?
Correct answer: A. 87 knots (100 mph)
Part 107 caps groundspeed at 87 knots, which is equal to 100 miles per hour.
Q4. What is the minimum flight visibility, as observed from the control station, required to operate under Part 107?
Correct answer: B. 3 statute miles
Operations under Part 107 require at least 3 statute miles of flight visibility measured from the control station.
Q5. Part 107 requires a small unmanned aircraft to maintain what minimum distance from clouds?
Correct answer: B. 500 feet below and 2,000 feet horizontally
The aircraft must remain at least 500 feet below clouds and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds.
Q6. During a serious drone accident, within how many days must the remote pilot in command report it to the FAA if it caused serious injury or at least $500 in property damage?
Correct answer: C. Within 10 days
A Part 107 accident causing serious injury, loss of consciousness, or at least $500 of property damage (other than to the aircraft) must be reported to the FAA within 10 calendar days.
Q7. How often must a Part 107 certificate holder complete recurrent training to keep their remote pilot privileges current?
Correct answer: B. Every 24 months
Remote pilots must complete the free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months to remain current.
Q8. At what weight does a small unmanned aircraft require registration with the FAA before flying under Part 107?
Correct answer: B. 0.55 pounds or more
Any small unmanned aircraft weighing 0.55 pounds (250 grams) or more, up to 55 pounds, must be registered with the FAA.
Q9. Under Part 107, operating a small unmanned aircraft directly from a moving vehicle is generally prohibited except under what condition?
Correct answer: B. When the operation is over a sparsely populated area
Operating from a moving vehicle or aircraft is prohibited unless the operation is conducted over a sparsely populated area.
Q10. To conduct night operations under Part 107, the small unmanned aircraft must be equipped with anti-collision lighting visible for what distance?
Correct answer: C. 3 statute miles
Night operations require anti-collision lights visible for at least 3 statute miles, with a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision.
