Question 1
1 / 15

What type of weather conditions should UAS pilots avoid to ensure safe operations?

Explanation: Strong winds and heavy rain can negatively impact the stability and control of the drone, increasing the risk of accidents.

Reference: Reg CELEX_02018R1139-20241201_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 2
2 / 15

What is the recommended maximum wind speed for safe UAS operation in the A2 category?

Explanation: For A2 category drones, a maximum wind speed of 15 km/h is generally considered safe to maintain stability and control.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 3
3 / 15

Which meteorological tool can help UAS pilots predict weather changes during operations?

Explanation: Satellite imagery provides real-time and forecasted weather patterns, helping pilots anticipate changes such as rain or wind.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32020R0639_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 4
4 / 15

Why is fog considered a hazardous condition for UAS operations?

Explanation: Fog significantly reduces visibility, which can hinder the pilot's ability to maintain visual contact with the drone, a key requirement for safe operation in the A2 category.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32019R0947_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 5
5 / 15

What should UAS pilots do if unexpected strong winds occur during flight?

Explanation: Landing the drone in a safe location is the best option to avoid losing control or damaging the aircraft.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32020R0746_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 6
6 / 15

How does temperature affect UAS battery performance?

Explanation: Low temperatures reduce the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, decreasing flight time and requiring careful pre-flight planning.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32020R1058_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 7
7 / 15

What is the role of wind direction in planning UAS operations?

Explanation: Wind direction plays a critical role during takeoff and landing, as crosswinds can destabilize the drone.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32021R1166_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 8
8 / 15

What precaution should be taken when flying near cumulonimbus clouds?

Explanation: Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms and turbulence, making it unsafe for UAS operations.

Reference: Reg CELEX_32022R0425_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 9
9 / 15

Why is monitoring barometric pressure important for UAS pilots?

Explanation: Sudden drops in barometric pressure can indicate approaching storms, allowing pilots to take preventive measures.

Reference: Reg D0593E_2024-07-10_06.26.37_EAR-for-Unmanned-Aircraft-Systems Art 0

Question 10
10 / 15

What is the minimum visibility required for UAS operations in the A2 category?

Explanation: A minimum visibility of 3 km ensures that the pilot can maintain visual line-of-sight with the drone and avoid obstacles.

Reference: Reg Easy Access Rules for the Basic Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2018-1139) - pdf Art 0

Question 11
11 / 15

Which meteorological factor is most critical when planning a UAS flight over water?

Explanation: Wind speed and direction are critical over water, as strong winds can destabilize the drone and make recovery difficult.

Reference: Reg ed_decision_2023-012-r_ Art 0

Question 12
12 / 15

What is the main risk of operating a drone in icy conditions?

Explanation: Ice buildup can affect the drone's aerodynamics and functionality, leading to potential accidents.

Reference: Reg explanatory_note_to_ed_decision_2023-012-r Art 0

Question 13
13 / 15

Which weather condition is most likely to interfere with radio communications between the drone and the controller?

Explanation: Thunderstorms can cause electromagnetic interference, disrupting radio communications.

Reference: Reg OJ_L_202401107_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 14
14 / 15

How should UAS pilots react if lightning is detected near the operation area?

Explanation: Lightning poses a serious threat to UAS operations, and pilots should suspend operations and land safely.

Reference: Reg OJ_L_202401108_EN_TXT Art 0

Question 15
15 / 15

What is the impact of high humidity on UAS operation?

Explanation: High humidity can lead to condensation on sensitive electronic components, potentially causing malfunctions.
