Question 1
1 / 15

What is the maximum wind speed recommended for safe drone operations under Part 107?

Explanation: Under Part 107, there is no specific wind speed limit, but a general recommendation is to avoid flying in winds exceeding 15 knots as it can impact stability and control of the drone.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 2
2 / 15

Which weather condition is prohibited for Part 107 drone operations?

Explanation: Flying in fog is prohibited under Part 107 because visibility conditions are critical for maintaining visual line-of-sight (VLOS).

Reference: Part_107_Summary

Question 3
3 / 15

What is the minimum visibility requirement for drone operations under Part 107?

Explanation: Part 107 requires a minimum visibility of 3 miles from the control station to ensure safe operations within the airspace.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 4
4 / 15

What is the maximum altitude a drone can operate under Part 107?

Explanation: Under Part 107, drones are allowed to operate up to 400 feet above ground level (AGL) to minimize interference with manned aircraft operations.

Reference: Part_107_Summary

Question 5
5 / 15

What is the required distance from clouds for drone operations under Part 107?

Explanation: Part 107 mandates that drones must remain at least 500 feet below clouds and 2,000 feet horizontally from them to avoid collisions.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 6
6 / 15

What is a key weather-related factor to check before flying a drone under Part 107?

Explanation: Pilots should evaluate wind direction, temperature, and precipitation to ensure safe and legal operations under Part 107.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 7
7 / 15

What does the term 'civil twilight' refer to in drone operations?

Explanation: Civil twilight refers to the time 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset, during which drones can operate with anti-collision lights under Part 107.

Reference: Part_107_Summary

Question 8
8 / 15

What should a drone operator do if unexpected weather conditions arise during flight?

Explanation: If unexpected weather arises, the operator should immediately land the drone safely to avoid risking the operation or violating FAA regulations.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 9
9 / 15

What is the purpose of checking NOTAMs (Notice to Airmen) before flying a drone?

Explanation: NOTAMs provide critical information about airspace restrictions, temporary flight restrictions, and other potential hazards for safe drone operation.

Reference: FAA_UAS-PO_LEA_Guidance

Question 10
10 / 15

How does high humidity impact drone operations?

Explanation: High humidity can reduce propeller efficiency and affect the drone's ability to remain stable, making it harder to control.

Reference: remote_pilot_study_guide

Question 11
11 / 15

Which weather tool is commonly used by drone pilots for pre-flight planning?

Explanation: Drone pilots use METAR reports, radar charts, and satellite imagery to assess weather conditions for safe operations.

Reference: remote_pilot_study_guide

Question 12
12 / 15

Under Part 107, what is the responsibility of the Remote Pilot in Command regarding weather?

Explanation: The Remote Pilot in Command must ensure that weather conditions meet operational limits to maintain safety and compliance.

Reference: AC_107-2A

Question 13
13 / 15

What is the impact of cold temperatures on drone batteries?

Explanation: Cold temperatures reduce battery performance, which can decrease flight time and impact the drone's operation.

Reference: remote_pilot_study_guide

Question 14
14 / 15

What visibility condition is required to ensure compliance with visual line-of-sight (VLOS) under Part 107?

Explanation: Under Part 107, VLOS requires the drone to be visible with unaided vision (except corrective lenses) to ensure situational awareness.

Reference: Part_107_Summary

Question 15
15 / 15

What is the minimum cloud ceiling requirement for drone operations under Part 107?

Explanation: Under Part 107, the minimum cloud ceiling for drone operations is 1,000 feet above ground level to ensure separation from manned aircraft.
