How can a drone pilot request authorization to fly in controlled airspace near an airport?

Explanation: The FAA's LAANC system enables drone pilots to request and receive authorization for operations in controlled airspace quickly and efficiently.

Reference: FAA LAANC System

Question 4
4 / 15

What is the purpose of UAS Facility Maps provided by the FAA?

Explanation: UAS Facility Maps indicate maximum altitudes where drones can be flown near airports and help pilots understand controlled airspace limitations.

Reference: FAA UAS Facility Maps

Question 5
5 / 15

Under Part 107, what is required to operate a drone in Class C airspace near an airport?

Explanation: Part 107 requires a remote pilot certificate and ATC authorization to operate in controlled airspace, including Class C airspace.

Reference: 14 CFR Part 107.41

Question 6
6 / 15

What is the primary responsibility of a drone pilot operating near an airport?

Explanation: Drone pilots must yield the right-of-way to all manned aircraft to ensure safety in the National Airspace System.

Reference: 14 CFR Part 107.37

Question 7
7 / 15

When operating in controlled airspace near an airport, what visual requirement must be met?

Explanation: The FAA requires drone pilots to maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) during operations to ensure safe flight.

Reference: 14 CFR Part 107.31

Question 8
8 / 15

Which airspace classification requires FAA authorization for drone operations?

Reference: 14 CFR Part 107.41

Question 10
10 / 15

Which tool can help you identify if your planned flight location is in controlled airspace?

Explanation: UAS Facility Maps allow drone pilots to determine if their flight area falls within controlled airspace and specify altitude limitations.

Reference: FAA UAS Facility Maps

Question 11
11 / 15

What is the minimum distance a drone must maintain from a runway unless authorized by the FAA?

Explanation: Drone operations must maintain a minimum distance of 5 miles from airport runways unless authorized by the FAA.

Reference: FAA Advisory Circular AC 91-57D

Question 12
12 / 15

What action must you take if your drone loses connectivity near an airport?

Explanation: Activating the return-to-home function ensures the drone safely returns to its launch point, minimizing risks near the airport.

Reference: FAA Remote Pilot Study Guide

Question 13
13 / 15

What is the FAA’s primary concern for drone operations near airports?

Explanation: The FAA prioritizes safety by preventing drones from interfering with manned aircraft operations near airports.

Reference: FAA UAS Integration Roadmap

Question 14
14 / 15

Can recreational drone pilots operate in controlled airspace near airports?

Explanation: Recreational pilots can operate in controlled airspace near airports only if they obtain FAA authorization under Section 44809.

Reference: 49 U.S.C. § 44809

Question 15
15 / 15

What is required to ensure compliance when flying near an airport in controlled airspace?
