Question 1

1 / 10

What is the primary purpose of an operational risk assessment (ORA) in the A2 subcategory?

A. To identify potential hazards and mitigate risks for safe drone operations.

B. To determine the maximum flight altitude allowed.

C. To establish communication protocols between the drone and air traffic control.

D. To check the drone's compliance with maintenance schedules.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: The operational risk assessment in the A2 subcategory is conducted to identify potential hazards and implement measures to mitigate risks, ensuring safe operations for the UAS.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 2

2 / 10

What must a pilot ensure when performing an A2 operational risk assessment?

A. That the drone is certified for night operations.

B. That the operation remains within 30 meters of uninvolved persons.

C. That the drone's payload does not exceed the weight limit.

D. That the drone's GPS system is functioning correctly.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: In the A2 subcategory, operations must be conducted at a safe distance of at least 30 meters from uninvolved persons to reduce risks.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 3

3 / 10

Which factor is NOT typically assessed during an A2 operational risk assessment?

A. Environmental conditions such as wind speed.

B. Potential failure modes of the UAS.

C. The pilot's medical fitness to operate.

D. The presence of uninvolved persons in the area.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: While environmental factors, failure modes, and the presence of uninvolved persons are part of the ORA, the pilot's medical fitness is addressed through licensing and not directly part of the risk assessment process.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 4

4 / 10

In the A2 subcategory, what is the minimum required competency for a remote pilot?

A. A certified advanced pilot license.

B. Completion of an A2 Certificate of Competency.

C. Successful completion of a flight simulator course.

D. Completion of the A1/A3 training module only.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Remote pilots operating in the A2 subcategory must complete the A2 Certificate of Competency, demonstrating knowledge of operational risks and safety procedures.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 5

5 / 10

What is the primary mitigation measure when operating close to uninvolved persons in the A2 subcategory?

A. Reduce the drone's speed to minimize impact energy.

B. Use protective barriers between the drone and the persons.

C. Maintain direct communication with uninvolved persons.

D. Ensure the drone has collision-avoidance sensors.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Reducing the drone's speed minimizes the impact energy in case of an incident, which is a key mitigation measure in the A2 subcategory.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 6

6 / 10

Which document must be submitted for approval before conducting operations in the A2 subcategory?

A. A standard flight log.

B. An operational risk assessment report.

C. An equipment maintenance checklist.

D. A no-fly zone exemption request.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: An operational risk assessment report is required to demonstrate that the pilot has identified and mitigated risks associated with the planned operation.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 7

7 / 10

What is the maximum flight distance allowed in the A2 subcategory?

A. Within visual line of sight (VLOS).

B. Up to 500 meters from the pilot.

C. Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).

D. Up to 2 kilometers in rural areas.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: Operations in the A2 subcategory must remain within the pilot's visual line of sight to ensure safe navigation and control.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 8

8 / 10

Which weather condition poses the greatest risk during A2 operations?

A. Light rain.

B. High wind speeds.

C. Overcast skies.

D. Low humidity.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: High wind speeds can significantly affect the stability and control of a UAS, making it a critical risk factor during A2 operations.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 9

9 / 10

How can a pilot ensure compliance with safety requirements during A2 operations?

A. By using a drone equipped with parachute systems.

B. By completing a pre-flight checklist and risk assessment.

C. By flying only during daylight hours.

D. By operating in restricted airspace.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: A pre-flight checklist and operational risk assessment are essential tools for ensuring safety and compliance during A2 operations.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 10

10 / 10

What is the key objective of the A2 subcategory in EASA regulations?

A. To allow drones to operate in urban areas without restrictions.

B. To minimize risks to uninvolved persons during operations.

C. To enable BVLOS operations for commercial purposes.

D. To ensure drones are equipped with advanced tracking systems.

Correct Answer:

Explanation: The A2 subcategory is designed to minimize risks to uninvolved persons by mandating specific operational limitations and risk assessments.
