Class B Airspace
Give this one a try later!
-solid blue lines
-usually surface up to 10,000 ft MSL
-requires ATC approval to enter
-"big city" towered airports
-inner surface area, two or more outer layers (upside down wedding cake)
Military Operations Area (MOA)
Give this one a try later!
-established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities
from instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic
-MOA, surrounded by magenta hashed lines
, -rarely extend below 1500 ft AGL
-good to find out if MOA is "hot" (active)
how old do you have to be to register your UAS?

3 distinct stages of thunderstorms
Give this one a try later!
, 1) cumulus stage - lifting action of the air begins, if sufficient moisture and
instability are present, clouds continue to increases in vertical height
-vertical development means wind shear and turbulence
-continuous, strong updrafts prohibit moisture from falling
-updraft region gets bigger than individ thermals feeding the storm
2) mature stage - win ~15 minutes of cumulus stage and is most violent time
period of thunderstorm life cycle
-drops of moisture are too heavy for cloud to support and begin falling as
rain or hail
-creates downward motion of air
-warm rising air, cool precipitation-induced descending airl iolent
turbulence all exist win and near cloud; below cloud, down-rushing air
increases surface winds and decreases temp
2) once vertical motion near top of cloud slows down, top of the cloud
spreads out and takes on anvil like shape - DISSIPATING STAGE - when
downdrafts spread out and replace the updrafts needed to sustain the
storm
If you lose visual line of sight (VLOS) of your small UAV and don't regain it, what
should you do?

Follow pre-determined operating procedures for losing VLOS
Class G Airspace
Give this one a try later!
, -not designated A, B, C, D, E
-uncontrolled airspace
-do not need FAA authorization
-not marked
-unless otherwise indicated, class G goes up to 70 ft AGL
When adapting crew resource management (CRM) concepts to the operation of a
small UA, CRM must be integrated into

all phases of the operation.
microbursts

-typically occurs in a space of less than one mile horizontally within 1,000 ft
vertically for about 15 minutes
-can produce sever downdrafts of up to 6000fpm (ft/mim) & hazardous
wind direction changes of >=45 degrees
-often difficult to detect bc they occur in relatively confined areas
-around thunderstorms, areas of low-level temperature inversion, frontal
zones, and clear air turbulence
Frost is most likely to form on a UAV's wings or propellers:
