Try each one before opening the answer. Original questions written to the official exam objectives.
Question 1
Before a Part 107 flight, the remote pilot in command must make sure that certain people understand the operating conditions, emergency procedures, contingency procedures, roles and responsibilities, and potential hazards. Who must receive this information?
- AEvery person directly participating in the operation
- BOnly the visual observer, when one is being used
- CThe air traffic facility for the planned airspace
- DThe owners of any property the aircraft will overfly
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A) Every person directly participating in the operation
Under 14 CFR 107.49(b), the remote PIC must ensure that all persons directly participating in the operation are informed of operating conditions, emergency and contingency procedures, roles and responsibilities, and potential hazards.
- ACorrect. 14 CFR 107.49(b) requires the remote PIC to ensure that all persons directly participating in the small UAS operation are informed of these items.
- BIncorrect. The requirement is not limited to the visual observer. It covers every person directly participating, such as a person manipulating the controls.
- CIncorrect. ATC is not briefed on crew roles or emergency procedures. Controlled airspace requires an authorization, which is a separate requirement from the preflight briefing.
- DIncorrect. Part 107 does not require briefing property owners. The remote PIC must assess risks to persons and property, but the briefing is for persons directly participating.
Question 2
Under Part 107, how far below a cloud must a small UAS remain?
- A2,000 feet
- B1,000 feet
- C500 feet
- D100 feet
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C) 500 feet
- AIncorrect. 2,000 feet is the horizontal distance.
- BIncorrect. The requirement is 500 feet below.
- CCorrect. The aircraft must stay at least 500 feet below clouds and 2,000 feet horizontally from them.
- DIncorrect. This is too close.
Question 3
Within how many days must a remote pilot report a small UAS accident causing serious injury to the FAA?
- A24 hours
- B30 days
- C10 days
- D90 days
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C) 10 days
- AIncorrect. Part 107 allows 10 days.
- BIncorrect. The deadline is shorter.
- CCorrect. Accidents with serious injury, loss of consciousness, or over $500 property damage (excluding the sUAS) are reported within 10 days.
- DIncorrect. The deadline is shorter.
Question 4
14 CFR 107.31 lists the purposes for which the remote pilot or visual observer must keep unaided visual line of sight with the small unmanned aircraft. Which of the following is one of those purposes?
- ADetermine the aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight
- BConfirm the command-and-control link signal remains adequate
- CVerify the remaining battery charge supports a safe return
- DKeep the aircraft within a fixed horizontal distance of the pilot
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A) Determine the aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight
Under §107.31(a), visual line of sight lets the crew know the aircraft's location, determine its attitude, altitude and direction, observe the airspace for traffic or hazards, and make sure it does not endanger life or property.
- ACorrect. §107.31(a)(2) lists determining the aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight as a purpose of visual line of sight. The other listed purposes are knowing its location, observing the airspace for traffic or hazards, and making sure it does not endanger life or property.
- BIncorrect. Link quality is checked through the control station. §107.31 does not list it as a purpose of visual line of sight.
- CIncorrect. Battery state is part of preflight and in-flight planning, but it is not one of the purposes listed in §107.31.
- DIncorrect. Part 107 sets no fixed horizontal distance limit. Visual line of sight depends on actual visibility, not a set range.
Question 5
When a person without a certificate manipulates the controls under supervision, the remote pilot in command must:
- ALeave the area
- BBe able to take direct control at once
- CHold a medical certificate
- DHand over all responsibility to that person
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B) Be able to take direct control at once
- AIncorrect. They must be able to take over.
- BCorrect. Section 107.12 allows supervised operation.
- CIncorrect. They must be able to take over.
- DIncorrect. The RPIC stays responsible.
Question 6
Part 107 doesn't apply to which of these?
- ARecreational flights under the statutory exception
- BCommercial real estate photography
- CRoof inspections for pay
- DAgricultural survey flights flown for a paying client
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A) Recreational flights under the statutory exception
- ACorrect. Kites and moored balloons are also excluded.
- BIncorrect. That's Part 107.
- CIncorrect. That's Part 107.
- DIncorrect. That's Part 107.
Question 7
Under 14 CFR 107.49(a), the remote pilot in command's preflight assessment of the operating environment must include which of the following?
- AThe remote PIC's logged small UAS flight hours for the previous 90 days
- BConfirmation that each visual observer holds a remote pilot certificate
- CThe location of persons and property on the surface
- DNotification of the nearest airport operator within 5 statute miles
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C) The location of persons and property on the surface
Before flight, 14 CFR 107.49(a) requires the remote PIC to assess the operating environment, including local weather, local airspace and flight restrictions, the location of persons and property on the surface, and other ground hazards.
- AIncorrect. Part 107 has no flight-hour logging or 90-day experience requirement, and 107.49(a) does not list one.
- BIncorrect. Visual observers do not need a remote pilot certificate. 107.49(b) only requires that participants be briefed on operating conditions, procedures, roles and hazards.
- CCorrect. 107.49(a) requires assessing the operating environment, including local weather, local airspace and flight restrictions, the location of persons and property on the surface, and other ground hazards.
- DIncorrect. Part 107 has no airport-operator notification requirement. 107.49(a) requires assessing local airspace and flight restrictions, not notifying airports.
Question 8
The certificate issued under Part 107 is formally called a:
- ATRUST certificate
- BPrivate Pilot License with an unmanned aircraft rating
- CDrone operator permit
- DRemote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D) Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating
- AIncorrect. That's for recreational flyers.
- BIncorrect. That's Part 61.
- CIncorrect. It's a Remote Pilot Certificate.
- DCorrect. It's issued after IACRA processing.
Question 9
Under Part 107's visual line-of-sight rule, the remote pilot or visual observer may use:
- AOnly the drone's camera feed
- BBinoculars at all times to keep the drone in sight at range
- CUnaided vision, corrective lenses allowed

- CCorrect. Binoculars may be used only briefly.
- DIncorrect. Unaided vision is required.
Question 10
FAA DroneZone is used for:
- ABuying drones
