Operating Rules

Question 1

What are vehicles that don’t require registration?

Answer 1

Miniature sUAVS
Some racing sUAVS
under 1/2 pound
Flown indoors

Question 2

How much is UAS registration

Answer 2

$5

Question 3

How long is UAS registration good for

Answer 3

3 years

Question 4

What is the remote PIC

Answer 4

The Remote PIC is directly responsible and is the final authority on the
operation of sUAS including but not limited to:

Assessing the operational environment

Briefing crew members

Ensuring all control equipment is linked and working

Monitoring battery power

Monitoring payloads (if present)

Ensuring all documents are readily available

Question 5

Does the person manipulating the controls need to have the Part 107 certification?

Answer 5

NO

They must be directly supervised by a remote PIC who has met testing and training requirements

Question 6

What is the role of the Visual Observer?

Answer 6

The job of the VO is to alert the rest of the crew to potential hazards
during flight

The VO does not have to be standing next to the Remote PIC
The VO needs to be positioned where they can see the sUAS continuously and
maintain VLOS

Question 7

What are the three R’s of Leadership?

Answer 7

Respect
Responsibility
Resourcefulness

Question 8

What is VLOS (what stands for)?

Answer 8

Visual Line of Sight

Question 9

What is the definition of VLOS?

Answer 9

defined as keeping the unmanned
aircraft in visual-line-of-sight at all times

This means not flying an unmanned aircraft into clouds or fog, not behind trees,
buildings or other [even partial] obstructions

VLOS also means un-aided vision except for prescription glasses or sunglasses,
and not having to use binoculars, telescopes or zoom lenses to see the
unmanned aircraft

Question 10

What should you do if you loose VLOS?

Answer 10

Try to regain VLOS
If you can regain VLOS, then initiage pre-determined procedures for loss of VLOS
(Hover mode or automatic return to home)

Question 11

What is BLOS (What stands for)?

Answer 11

Beyond Line of Sight

Question 12

Define BLOS

Answer 12

BLOS: flying a UA without the Remote PIC having VLOS at all times and
instead using instruments on the aircraft to maintain control and situational
awareness (very much a military thing)

Question 13

What does FPV stand for?

Answer 13

First Person View

Question 14

Define FPV

Answer 14

using virtual hardware to operate a vehicle by reference to an onboard
camera

You may use FPV hardware, but a VO must be present to maintain VLOS

Question 15

What should you do if another aircraft comes near?

Answer 15

The Remote PIC must also yield right-of-way to all other aircraft

Pause flight/hover mode

Rapid descent out of flight path or rapid ascent if necessary

Question 16

What is a temporary flight restrictions (TFR)

Answer 16

Restriction on an area of airspace due
to the movement of government VIPs, special events, natural disasters, or
other unusual events.

Question 17

What is a NOTAM? When is it issued?

Answer 17

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM): Issued when there’s aeronautical information
that could affect a pilot’s decision to make a flight. It includes such
information as airport or aerodrome primary runway closures, taxiways,
ramps, obstructions, communications, airspace, and changes in the status
of navigational aids, to name a few

Question 18

What is the speed restriction for sUAS?

Answer 18

100 Miles per hour (ground speed).

Question 19

If there is a 1000 foot tower how high can a UAS be flown?

Answer 19

1,400 feet.

A sUAS may not be flown higher that 400 AGL
However, it the vehicle is flown within a 400 foot radius of a structure, it can go to
a maximum limit of 400 Feet above that structure

Question 20

How many minutes before sunrise can you fly?

Answer 20

30 minutes before sunrise (morning civil twilight)

Question 21

How many minutes after official sunset can you fly?

Answer 21

30 minutes after official sunset (evening civil twilight) .

Question 22

If flying at night what is the distance of anti collision lights on your UAV?

Answer 22

3 miles in all directions.

Question 23

If you want to fly at night what must you obtain?

Answer 23

CoW. Certificate of Waiver.

Allows a Small Unmanned Aircraft System
(sUAS) operation to deviate from certain provisions of Part 107 as long as
the FAA finds that the proposed operation can be safely conducted under
the terms of that Certificate of Waiver.
