Night Operations Flashcards
Can a sUAS be flown at night?
1 Yes, as long as the aircraft is equipped with anti-collision lighting.
2 No, a sUAS can only be flown during the day and during twilight.
3 Yes, as long as the rPIC received the proper training and the aircraft is properly equipped with anti-collision lighting that meet the requirements in 107.29.

In order to submit airspace requests to fly at night, you should
1 Submit a LAANC request if available.
2 Submit all requests via the FAA DroneZone website.
3 Contact the controlling agency and request approval.
Submit a LAANC request if available.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use
1 peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
2 a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 30-degree sector.
3 regularly spaced concentration on the 3-, 9-, and 12-o’clock positions.
peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
What is the best method to adapt your vision at night?
1 Turn off all lights during takeoff, including the strobe lights.
2 Set the screen brightness to the maximum value to make sure your vision is adapted early on.
3 Avoid staring at bright lights and use red/green flashlights for preflight inspection.
Avoid staring at bright lights and use red/green flashlights for preflight inspection.
How can the remote Pilot in Command and Visual Observer(s) avoid autokinesis
1 by staring at the sUAS for extended periods of time.
2 by using proper night scanning techniques and using peripheral vision.
3 by staying in the dark for 30 minutes.

How many strobe lights are required to fly at night?
1 Two lights: one on the top and one on the bottom.
2 Three lights: two navigation lights (green and red) and one anti-collision light on top.
3 At least one, and preferably located on top of the aircraft.
At least one, and preferably located on top of the aircraft.
What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?
1 Wear sunglasses after sunset until ready for flight.
2 Avoid bright white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.
3 Avoid red lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.
Avoid bright white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.
In the event of loss of visual line of sight at night, you should immediately
1 Stop moving forward, verify telemetry, then start climbing if possible.
2 Initial the return-to-home procedure immediately.
3 Declare an emergency on your portable radio on 121.5 MHz.
Stop moving forward, verify telemetry, then start climbing if possible.
During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead at what you estimate to be 300 feet AGL. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
1 The other aircraft is crossing to the right.
2 The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
3 The other aircraft is approaching head-on.
The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to
1 scan the visual field very rapidly.
2 look to the side of the object and scan rapidly.
3 look to the side of the object and scan slowly.
look to the side of the object and scan slowly.
What is the maximum altitude at which a sUAS can be flown at night?
1 400 feet.
2 200 feet.
3 300 feet.
400 feet.
During a night flight, you observe steady red and green lights ahead at low altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
1 The other aircraft is approaching head-on.
2 The other aircraft is flying away from you.
3 The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
The other aircraft is approaching head-on.
During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead at low altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
1 The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
2 The other aircraft is crossing to the right.
3 The other aircraft is flying away from you.
The other aircraft is flying away from you.
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
1 Look only at far away, dim lights.
2 Concentrate directly on each object for a few seconds.
3 Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
How can a military airport be identified at night?
1 White flashing lights with steady green at the same location.
2 Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.
3 Alternate white and green light flashes.
Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.
What is one of the requirements for flying an sUAS during twilight?
1 the sUAS must be equipped with anti-collision lighting visible for at least 5 statute miles.
2 the sUAS must be equipped with anti-collision lighting visible from at least 3 statute miles.
3 the sUAS must be equipped with navigation lights
the sUAS must be equipped with anti-collision lighting visible from at least 3 statute miles.
