Carbon fiber
Rubber
Glass
A drone weighing 0.60 pounds is classified as:
Micro
Small sUAS
Toy class
Large UAS
The flight controller is best described as the drone’s:
Fuel tank
Skin
Brain
Camera system
Propellers spinning in opposite directions help maintain:
Temperature
Lift only
Stability
Battery efficiency
The electronic component that regulates motor speed is the:
ESC
GPS
Camera
Receiver
A swollen LiPo battery should be:
Charged immediately
Used for short flights only
Replaced
Cooled with water
Before takeoff, the pilot must confirm the area is:
Shaded
Clear of people and debris
Paved
Marked with cones
Under §107, the pilot must inspect:
The classroom first
The drone’s airworthiness
Weather balloons
The nearest tower frequency
Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) means the pilot can:
Watch the drone on the screen
See the drone without binoculars
Track the drone using GPS
Hear the drone flying
A lost-link situation is typically handled by:
Autoland only
Return-to-Home
Hover mode for 10 minutes
Manual override
What is the main difference between an authorization and a waiver under FAA rules for drone pilots?
An authorization allows you to break any rule, while a waiver does not.
An authorization lets you fly in controlled airspace, while a waiver allows you to fly outside the normal Part 107 rules.
A waiver is faster and easier to obtain than an authorization.
An authorization is only for recreational pilots, not commercial pilots.
What is the purpose of a Visual Observer (VO) during drone operations?
To take control of the aircraft if the pilot becomes tired
To maintain visual line of sight and warn the pilot of hazards
To monitor battery voltage levels during flight
To update the drone’s software before takeoff
If a manned aircraft approaches, a drone must:
Climb higher
Turn off GPS
Descend and move away
Fly toward the runway
After an emergency rule deviation, a pilot must:
Immediately call the news
Submit a written report if the FAA asks
Report to local police
Register the drone again
A fly-away is when a drone:
Won’t turn on
Fails to charge
Moves in an unexpected direction
Lands too slowly
Minimum visibility for drone flight is:
1 SM
2 SM
3 SM
5 SM

North
West
South

Flying in rain or snow can:
Improve GPS
Damage motors and electronics
Increase lift
Make batteries last longer
Cold temperatures cause batteries to:
Expand
Drain faster

Class B airspace surrounds:
Helicopter pads
Uncontrolled strips
Large busy airports
Parks and recreation zones
Class G airspace is:
Controlled
Uncontrolled

Latitude measures:
East–west
Up–down
North–south
Temperature change

Class B
Class D
Class G
Restricted Area
SkyVector is used for:
Playing games
Checking airspace and charts
Editing photos
Making music
Why should drone pilots keep their flight area free of loose debris before takeoff?
It helps the drone fly faster
Debris can get sucked into propellers and cause damage
It improves GPS accuracy
It makes batteries last longer
Pitch moves the drone:
Left/right
Forward/backward
Up/down
Rotate only
Yaw rotates the drone:
In a circle
Without changing position
Straight upward
Along the roll axis
A loop (“repeat”) block:
Deletes commands
Repeats commands
Stores photos
Checks battery voltage
A square mission requires how many turns?
1
2
3
4
A rectangle with 36 -inch and 18 -inch sides uses:
Pitch + Yaw
Roll + Throttle
Yaw + Hover
Throttle + Roll
A proper takeoff zone must be:
Level and clear
Muddy
Near cars
Inside a warehouse
A drone with a loose propeller will likely:
Perform normally
Flip or crash
Fly stronger
Bounce higher
The controller battery must be:
Over 10%
Fully charged
Plugged in during flight
Kept in a case
A preflight inspection includes checking:
Propellers, frame, battery
The student seating chart
Refrigerator temperature
What is the first step when GPS drops out?
