SWER -Be at least 16 years of age.
-Ability to read, speak, write, and understand the English language with medical exceptions.
-Be in a physical and mental condition that would not interfere with the safe operation of an
sUAS.
-Pass the initial aeronautical knowledge test at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center
(KTC).
-Pass a background check by the Transportation Security Administration (this is done auto-
matically when you submit your application for a Remote Pilot Certificate).
Maintaining Your Remote Pilot Certificate - ANSWER -Pass a recurrent aeronautical
knowledge test every 24 months.
-Conduct a preflight inspection that includes specific aircraft and control station systems
checks, to ensure the small UAS is safe for operation.
-Report an accident to the FAA within 10 calendar days of any operation that results in seri-
ous injury or property damage over $500.
-Make available to the FAA, upon request, the small UAS for inspection or testing, and any
associated documents/records required to be kept under the proposed rule.
Unmanned Aircraft (UA) - ANSWER An aircraft operated without the possibility of direct
human intervention from within or on the aircraft
Small Unmanned Aircraft - ANSWER A UA weighing less than 55 pounds, including every-
thing that is onboard or otherwise attached to the aircraft, and can be flown without the
possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft
1
,Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) - ANSWER the aircraft PLUS all the other equip-
ment and components, such as the remote control / transmitter
According to 14 CFR Part 107, an sUAS is an unmanned aircraft system weighing: - AN-
SWER Less than 55 lbs
How many days do you have to notify the FAA of your change of address - ANSWER 30
days
Unmanned aircraft means an aircraft operated: - ANSWER Without the possibility of di-
rect human intervention from within or on the aircraft
Which of the following types of operations are excluded from the requirements in Part 107 -
ANSWER Model aircraft for hobby use
The Part 107 regulations apply to - ANSWER Civil unmanned aircraft operations
A person without a Part 107 remote pilot certificate may operate an sUAS for commercial
operations: - ANSWER Under the direct supervision of a Remote PIC
A person whose sole task is watching the sUAS to report hazards to the rest of the crew is
called - ANSWER Visual observer
According to 14 CFR Part 107, the responsibility of inspecting a small unmanned aircraft sys-
tem (sUAS) lies with the: - ANSWER Remote pilot-in-command
responsibilities of a remote PIC: - ANSWER -assessment of operating environment. (Local
weather conditions, airspace and flight restrictions, location of persons and property on the
surface, and ground hazards.)
2
,-Ensuring all persons directly participating in the small UA operation are informed about op-
erating conditions, emergency procedures, contingency procedures, roles and responsibili-
ties of each person involved in the operation, and potential hazards.
-Ensure that all control links between your Control Station and the small UA are working
properly.
-Ensure there is sufficient power to continue controlled flight operations to a normal landing
-Ensure that any object attached or carried by the small UA is secure that does not adversely
affect performance.
-Ensure all necessary documentation is available for inspection (remote PIC's remote pilot
certificate, aircraft registration if required, and Certificate of Waiver (CoW) if applicable).
While you don't have a Part 107 license, you're planning to use a buddy box system with a
certified remote PIC to conduct a commercial operation together. How would this work? -
ANSWER You'd need to have two control stations set up, where the remote PIC could
take over flight operations immediately with the flip of a switch.
T or F: Even if you don't have a Remote Pilot Certificate, you can operate an sUAS under Part
107 as long as you are being directly supervised by a remote PIC who has met the recurrent
testing/training requirement; and the remote PIC has the ability to immediately take direct
control of the sUAS. - ANSWER True
Visual Observer - ANSWER alerts the rest of the crew about potential hazards during
sUAS operations. the remote PIC may use one or more VOs to supplement situational aware-
ness and visual-line-of-sight responsibilities while the remote PIC is conducting other mis-
sion-critical duties (such as checking displays).
What happens if my UAS is destroyed or is sold, lost, or transferred to another operator? -
ANSWER You should cancel your registration through the FAA's online registration sys-
tem.
What happens if my UAS weighs 55 lbs or more? - ANSWER it must be registered using
the FAA's paper-based registration process (if it's being used for Part 107 (non-recreational)
purposes).
3
, How do I mark the UAS with my commercial registration number - ANSWER he registra-
tion marking must be legible and durable. Sample methods include engraving, permanent
marker, or self-adhesive label. It must also be visible or accessible.
Do I always have to have my Certificate of Aircraft Registration with me while flying my UAS?
- ANSWER yes
What if my aircraft was already registered in a foreign country? - ANSWER Visiting foreign
nationals must register their drone or UAS upon arrival in the United States.
As a Remote PIC, you are required to report a qualifying accident to the FAA within how
many days? - ANSWER 10 days
According to the FAA, an accident is defined as: - ANSWER At least serious injury to any
person or damage to any property (other than the small UA) if the cost is greater than $500
to either repair or to replace the property, whichever number is lower.
To avoid a possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA
climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet AGL. To whom must you report the deviation? -
ANSWER The Federal Aviation Administration
When can a Remote Pilot-in-Command deviate from the Part 107 rules to go into Class C air-
space? - ANSWER When an in-flight emergency occurs
four operating limitations of your small unmanned aerial system under the Part 107 regula-
tions: - ANSWER -It may not be flown faster than a groundspeed of 87 knots, which is
equivalent to 100 miles per hour;
-Minimum visibility, as observed from where you're operating the sUAS from
-where your transmitter is, may not be less than 3 statute miles (sm)

SWER -Be at least 16 years of age.
