Flying a Drone

What is the first safety precaution to take before flying a drone?

• Read the drone's user manual

• Check the weather conditions

• Wear safety goggles

• Fly the drone at night

Explain the function of the left joystick on a drone controller.

• The left joystick controls the camera angle and landing gear of the drone.

• The left joystick adjusts the drone's speed and altitude.

• The left joystick activates the drone's emergency stop and return to home functions.

• The left joystick controls throttle and yaw of the drone.

How do you perform a basic drone maneuver known as 'yaw'?

• Spin the drone in a circle

• Fly the drone up and down rapidly

• Rotate the drone around its central axis

• Move the drone forward and backward

What is an important regulation to follow when flying a drone near an airport?

• Ignore air traffic control instructions

• Fly directly over the airport

• Fly at the same altitude as incoming planes

• Maintain a safe distance of at least 5 miles away from the airport perimeter.

What should you do if your drone loses connection with the controller during flight?

• Remain calm, let the drone hover, try to regain control by moving closer or using return-to-home function.

• Ignore the situation and let the drone fly on its own

• Turn off the controller and hope for automatic reconnection

• Panic and try to manually control the drone

Why is it important to calibrate the drone's compass before flying?

• To confuse the drone's navigation system

• To ensure accurate orientation data for stable flight and proper functioning of features like return-to-home.

• To make the drone heavier for better stability

• To increase the risk of crashes

Describe the process of troubleshooting a drone that is drifting to one side during flight.

• Check battery level

• Replace the remote controller

• Update the drone's firmware

• Ensure level surface, check propellers, calibrate compass and IMU, adjust trim settings, check for obstructions or wind conditions.

What is the maximum altitude limit for recreational drone flights according to FAA regulations?

• 200 feet above ground level

• 400 feet above ground level

• 500 feet above ground level

• 600 feet above ground level

Explain the purpose of the return-to-home feature on a drone.

• The return-to-home feature on a drone is to make the drone fly away from the user

• The return-to-home feature on a drone is to activate the self-destruct sequence

• The return-to-home feature on a drone is to summon other drones to its location

• The return-to-home feature on a drone is to automatically bring the drone back to its takeoff point in case of signal loss, low battery, or manual activation.

How can you prevent interference with other electronic devices while flying a drone?

• Fly at night to avoid interference

• Use a drone with outdated firmware

• Fly close to power lines for better signal

• Fly in open areas away from sources of electromagnetic interference, avoid flying near power lines or cell towers, and ensure your drone's firmware is up to date.
