Mastering Drone Operations

What is the maximum altitude a drone can fly according to FAA regulations?

• 400 feet

• 1000 feet

• 500 feet

• 300 feet

What are the key components that affect a drone's flight mechanics?

• Propulsion system, weight distribution, aerodynamics, control surfaces, environmental factors

• Camera resolution

• Flight range

• Battery capacity

Which navigation system is commonly used in drones for GPS positioning?

• GLONASS

• BeiDou

• GPS

• Galileo

What settings should be adjusted for optimal drone photography in low light?

• Adjust ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and use stabilization.

• Set the drone to automatic mode and ignore stabilization

• Use a wide-angle lens and lower shutter speed

• Increase exposure time and reduce ISO

What is the importance of pre-flight checks in drone safety?

• Pre-flight checks are primarily for aesthetic purposes and have no impact on safety.

• Pre-flight checks are only necessary for large commercial drones.

• Pre-flight checks are essential for ensuring drone safety by verifying equipment functionality and preventing accidents.

• Pre-flight checks are optional and can be skipped if the weather is good.

How does wind speed affect drone flight stability?

• Drones are unaffected by any wind conditions.

• Wind speed negatively impacts drone flight stability, especially at higher speeds.

• Wind speed has no effect on drone flight stability.

• Higher wind speeds improve drone stability.

What is the role of a gimbal in drone photography?

• To provide a live feed to the pilot only.

• To enhance the drone's speed during flight.

• The role of a gimbal in drone photography is to stabilize the camera for smooth and steady footage.

• To control the drone's altitude automatically.

What routine maintenance should be performed on a drone after each flight?

• Inspect for damage, check battery, clean propellers and camera, ensure functionality, update firmware.

• Fly the drone again immediately

• Store the drone in a case

• Charge the remote control

What are the legal requirements for flying a drone in urban areas?

• Fly without any permits

• Use drones at night without restrictions

• Fly over large crowds without precautions

• Obtain permits, maintain visual line of sight, avoid flying over people, adhere to altitude restrictions, and register with aviation authorities.

How can a drone pilot effectively plan a flight path for aerial photography?

• Identify target area, plan waypoints, consider battery life, check weather, and obtain permissions.

• Ignore battery life and weather conditions

• Choose random locations without planning

• Fly at night without checking regulations
