AVMG 2050 Midterm
Vertical takeoff/ landing platform is capable of transitional flight for launch and recovery? - correct
answer ✔✔true
VLOS is an operational method of flying in the UAS within the visual perception (without any form of aid
other than prescription glasses) of the remote pilot or the visual observer - correct answer ✔✔true
-if Beyond VLOS or Extended VLOS is used the operation is supported via chase plane or technology
What is first person vision view? - correct answer ✔✔gives the person flying the UAS perspective from
the UAS itself. You still must comply with VLOS. "an egocentric perspective, replicating the view from
within the aircraft."
AGL, MSL - correct answer ✔✔AGL-above ground level
MSL- mean sea level
VLOS stands for visual line of sight - correct answer ✔✔true
BVLOS stands for beyond visual line of sight - correct answer ✔✔true
ATC stands for air traffic control - correct answer ✔✔true
What is a NOTAM? - correct answer ✔✔notice to airmen
FAA center of excellence (ASSURE) statement - correct answer ✔✔The creation of this COE was
supported by a number of universities that provide UAS-related education, operation, or research.
Academic institutions progress areas of UAS research by providing purpose, funding, and tasking to
move issues affecting UAS operations, design, maintenance, ATC interoperability, and crew training.
, What is the purpose of the FAA center of excellence (COE) - correct answer ✔✔to quickly, safely, and
efficiently integrate UAS into the NAS with minimal changes to current operations
sUAS weight requirment - correct answer ✔✔.55 lbs to 55 lbs
requirements to register UAS under - correct answer ✔✔unique registration number displayed on the
outside of the aircraft, registration application, weight requirements, must be at least 13 yrs old and a US
citizen/ legal resident. Costs $5 per drone and is valid for 3 years
COA 333 exemption maintain_ distance from_ airport types - correct answer ✔✔1. 5 NM from airport
w/ control tower
2. 3 NM from airport having an instrument approach w/o tower
3. 2 NM from airport, heliport, or sea port with no published approach or tower
FAA manages public use COA's through its COA online system - correct answer ✔✔true
When operation sUAS under COA's what do you have to do? - correct answer ✔✔-file a NOTAM within
24 hrs of operation. Including: name and address of pilot filing the NOTAM. location, altitude, and/or
operating area, time, nature of activity, number of UAS flying in the area
-FAA will issue a document outlining specific requirements which in most cases must be filed on a
monthly basis to the issuing agency
rotary wing configuration types - correct answer ✔✔conventional single rotor, dual rotor, multi-rotor
fixed pitch props, simplest design of magnitude and thrust determined by the power setting of the
power plant - correct answer ✔✔true
Two advantages of VTOL of sUAS - correct answer ✔✔operates in small launch/ recovery areas. rapidly
deployable, capable of translational flight
