Question 1

1 / 15

What is the primary purpose of geofencing in drone operations?

A. To limit the drone's altitude during flight.

B. To prevent drones from entering restricted or hazardous areas.

C. To track the location of the drone during operation.

D. To ensure drones maintain a constant speed.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Geofencing is a system that prevents drones from entering restricted or hazardous areas, such as airports or military zones, by creating virtual boundaries.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 2

2 / 15

Which technology is typically used to enable geo-awareness in drones?

A. Radio frequency identification (RFID).

B. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

C. Infrared sensors.

D. Wi-Fi connectivity.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Geo-awareness in drones is enabled by GNSS, which allows the drone to determine its location and avoid restricted zones.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 3

3 / 15

What must a drone pilot ensure when operating in areas with geofencing restrictions?

A. That the drone firmware is updated.

B. That the drone is registered with the local aviation authority.

C. That the drone complies with geofencing alerts and boundaries.

D. That the drone operates in manual mode to override geofencing.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Drone pilots must ensure compliance with geofencing alerts and boundaries to avoid entering restricted areas.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 4

4 / 15

If a drone encounters a geofencing boundary during flight, what typically happens?

A. The drone sends an alert to the pilot but continues flying.

B. The drone immediately lands itself.

C. The drone halts or alters its path to avoid crossing the boundary.

D. The drone shuts down all systems for safety.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Most geofencing systems are designed to halt or redirect the drone to prevent it from crossing into restricted zones.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 5

5 / 15

What is a common requirement for drones operating in geo-aware environments?

A. The drone must have a camera for visual identification.

B. The drone must have software capable of processing geospatial data.

C. The drone must operate at low altitude only.

D. The drone must be equipped with infrared sensors.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Geo-aware environments require drones to have software capable of processing geospatial data to identify and avoid restricted zones.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 6

6 / 15

What is the role of the pilot when geo-awareness alerts are triggered during flight?

A. Ignore the alert and continue the mission.

B. Immediately land the drone to avoid risks.

C. Assess the alert and take corrective actions if necessary.

D. Contact the local aviation authority for guidance.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: The pilot must assess geo-awareness alerts and take corrective actions to ensure compliance with regulations and safety.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 7

7 / 15

Which regulatory category of drone operations often requires geo-awareness capabilities?

A. Open category.

B. Specific category.

C. Certified category.

D. Recreational category.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Geo-awareness capabilities are often required in the Specific category to mitigate risks in controlled environments.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 8

8 / 15

How can a pilot ensure their drone complies with geofencing regulations?

A. By disabling geofencing software.

B. By updating the drone's geofencing database regularly.

C. By flying only in rural areas.

D. By registering the drone with EASA.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Regular updates to the geofencing database ensure the drone recognizes the latest restricted zones.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 9

9 / 15

What happens if a drone without geo-awareness flies into a restricted area?

A. The drone's flight is unaffected.

B. The drone is automatically grounded by authorities.

C. The pilot may face penalties or fines for non-compliance.

D. The drone shuts down automatically.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Flying into restricted areas without geo-awareness can lead to legal penalties for the pilot due to non-compliance.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 10

10 / 15

Which operational category requires UAS operators to submit risk assessments that consider geofencing?

A. Open.

B. Specific.

C. Certified.

D. None of the above.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Operators in the Specific category must submit risk assessments that account for geofencing to ensure safety and compliance.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 11

11 / 15

What is the best practice for drones operating near airports with geofencing?

A. Disable geofencing to maintain control.

B. Operate only during nighttime.

C. Ensure drone software recognizes airport boundaries.

D. Fly under 50 meters altitude.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Drone software must be updated to recognize airport boundaries and comply with geofencing restrictions.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 12

12 / 15

What is the consequence of disabling geofencing features in a drone?

A. The drone operates with increased safety.

B. The pilot is exempt from geo-awareness regulations.

C. The drone may accidentally enter restricted areas.

D. The drone becomes faster and more efficient.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Disabling geofencing increases the risk of accidentally entering restricted zones, compromising safety and compliance.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 13

13 / 15

How often should drone operators check for geofencing updates?

A. Annually.

B. Monthly.

C. Before every flight.

D. Only when flying in urban areas.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Operators should check for geofencing updates before every flight to ensure compliance with the latest restricted zones.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 14

14 / 15

Which of the following is an example of a geofencing restriction?

A. Altitude limit of 120 meters.

B. Restricted flight near a nuclear power plant.

C. Flight duration limit of 30 minutes.

D. Speed limit of 10 m/s.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Geofencing often restricts flight in sensitive areas, such as nuclear power plants, for safety and security reasons.

Reference: EASA regulation reference not provided.

Question 15

15 / 15

What is the main benefit of geo-awareness for drone pilots?

A. Improved battery life.

B. Enhanced flight control in manual mode.

C. Reduced risk of violating airspace regulations.
