Yes, the aircraft may overfly northeast of the airport
- The recommended entry position for manned aircraft to enter an airport traffic pattern is
- to cross directly over the airport at traffic pattern altitude and join the downwind leg
- 45 degrees to the base leg just below traffic pattern altitude
- to enter 45 degrees at the midpoint of the downwind left at traffic pattern altitude
to enter 45 degrees at the midpoint of the downwind left at traffic pattern altitude
- While operating a sUAS just south of a controlled airport with authorization, ATC notifies you to stay clear of the runway 6 final approach course. What action should you take to comply with this request?
- Stay clear of areas to the west and north of your area of operations
- stay clear of argas to the west and south of your area of operation
- Stay clear of areas to the east and north of your area of operation
Stay clear of areas to the west and north of your area of operations
- Entries into traffic patterns by manned aircraft while descending create specific collision hazards and

11.What is the most effective way for a UA pilot to scan for traffic?
- Continuously scan the sky from right to left
- A series of short regularly spaced eye movements scanning 10 degrees segments of the sky
- Maintain your focus on the UA and use your peripheral vision to scan small segments of the sky
A series of short regularly spaced eye movements scanning 10 degrees segments of the sky
- When approaching holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot
- may continue taxiing
- should continue taxing until all parts of the aircraft have crossed the lines
- should not cross the lines without ATC clearance
should not cross the lines without ATC clearance
- What is the purpose of the runway/ runway hold position sign?
- Denotes area protected for an aircraft approaching or departing a runway
- Denotes entrance to runway from a taxiway
- Denotes intersecting runways
Denotes intersecting runways
- Holding position signs have
- White inscriptions on red background
- Yellow inscriptions on red background
- Red inscriptions on white background
White inscriptions on red background
- When a manned aircraft is approaching to land at an airport in Class G airspace without an operating control tower, the pilot will
- Fly a left hand traffic pattern at 800 feet AGL
- Enter and fly a traffic pattern at 800 feet AGL
- Make all turns to the left, unless otherwise indicated
Make all turns to the left, unless otherwise indicated
- What should a remote pilot do if the sUAS they are operating collide with a bird or wildlife?
- Report the collision to ATC
- File an accident report with the NTSB
- File a wildlife strike report with the FAA
File a wildlife strike report with the FAA
- What should remote pilots rely on for wire strike avoidance?
- Sectional chart markings
- Chart supplement US airport and airspace details
- Visual scanning
Visual scanning

- Identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering
- Identifies the exit boundary for the runway protected area
- Identifies area that doesn’t not continue beyond intersection
Identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering
- What is the purpose for the runway hold position markings on the taxiway?
- Holds aircraft short of the runway
