2.2 Crew Member Definitions

A person without a Part 107 remote pilot certificate may operate an sUAS for commercial operations:

• Under the direct supervision of a Remote PIC

• Only when visual observers participate in the operation

• Alone, if operating during daylight hours

A person whose sole task is watching the sUAS to report hazards to the rest of the crew is called:

• Visual observer

• Remote PIC

• Person manipulating the controls

According to 14 CFR Part 107, the responsibility of inspecting a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) lies with the:

• Registered owner of the sUAS

• Remote pilot-in-command

• Remote pilot certificate holder

While you don't have a Part 107 license, you're planning to use a buddy box system with a certified remote PIC to conduct a commercial operation together. How would this work?

• You'd need to be able to hand the controls over to the remote PIC within 3 minutes.

• You'd need to have one control station set up, with a second controller that can be used to assist part of the flight operation.

• You'd need to have two control stations set up, where the remote PIC could take over flight operations immediately with the flip of a switch.

According to 14 CFR Part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?

• Remote Pilot in Command

• Manufacturer

• Owner or operator

Before each flight, the Remote PIC must ensure that:

• ATC has granted clearance

• The site supervisor has approved the flight

• Objects carried on the sUAS are secure

Before every sUAS operation, the remote pilot in command should:

• Make sure the aircraft is securely attached and loaded in a way that does not adversely affect performance

• Make sure that the payload doesn't weigh more than 10 pounds.

• Make sure the aircraft nose is positioned away from the pilot

You have your Remote Pilot Certificate and want to fly with another pilot whose certificate has expired. You plan to use a buddy box system. How does this work?

• A) There is one control system, and you're positioned close enough to the pilot where you can take control within 30 seconds.

• B) Each pilot has his or her own control system, and you have the ability to override controls.

• C) Each pilot has his or her own control station. The PIC with the expired certificate is controlling the UA, and you are assisting with your own control station.
