Part 107 Flashcards
In a fixed wing aircraft, roll is controlled by
The ailerons
In a fixed wing aircraft, yaw is controlled by
The rudder
What increases load factor the most on fixed wing aircrafts
level turn
As speed increases, induced drag
Decreases
At which angle does the load factor increase dramatically
45-50, 60
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
Remain the same regardless of gross weight
If an airplane is loaded so that the CG is located aft of the CG limit
The airplane will have difficulty recovering from stalled conditions
Under what conditions may objects be dropped from an aircraft
If precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage on the surface
What is the last day you can exercise your right to fly under part 107 without doing recurrent training
2 years from the end of the month in which you passed the initial exam
How many days do you have notify the FAA of a change of address
30 days
What is the soonest you can retake your test if you fail
14 days
Can you fly if visibility is 4 sm
If you stay 500 feet below clouds and 2000 feet away from them horizontally, limit is 3 sm
What is the fastest you can fly under part 107
100 MPH or 87 KTS
What is allowed with permission from the controlling body if the purpose of the mission is aeronautical research
Flying without remote ID
What report is required if your UAS crashes due to flight error with no damage to other property or people
Immediate report to the NTSB
What source should be used to determine if a drone is remote ID compliant
FAA’s DOC list
A lighted heliport may be identified by a
Green, yellow, and white rotating beacon
Absence of sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcasts indicates
Ceiling of at least 5000 ft and visibility of 5+ SM
What airspaces are charted in AGL
Class E starting at 700 and 1200 ft
What is the base of outer volume of class C airspace
1200 ft AGL
What line and color denotes Class E starting at 1200 AGL
Shaded blue
What line and color denotes class E starting at 700 AGL
Shaded magenta
How are controlled firing areas charted
They aren’t
For info on glider operations refer to
The chart supplement
What does latitude measure
Degrees of latitude north and south of the equator
What is most relevant to the RPIC when evaluating sUAS performance
Current weather conditions
How would high density altitude effect performance
Decreased performance
The amount of water air can hold depends on
Temperature
An air mass moving inland from the coast in the winter will likely result in
Fog
What are the characteristics of stable air masses
Poor visibility and steady precipitation
In which environment is aircraft structural ice most likely to form
Freezing rain
Which environment is aircraft structured ice most likely to form
Freezing rain
One in-flight condition needed for structural ice to form is
Visibile moisture
What is a characteristic of stable air
Stratiform clouds
Risk management (ADM) relies on what features to reduce risks associated with flight
Situational awareness, problem recognition and good judgement
Most effective method of scanning for aircraft during daylight hours
A series of short, regularly spaced, eye movements to search 10 degree sectors
What procedure would provide guidance for an inflight emergency?
The manufacturers checklist
When times constitute night operations?
From 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset
Guidance from the FAA on how a drone is categorized
Declaration of compliance
Category 1 Drone
Weighs less than .55 pounds, does not contain rotating parts that would lacerate, to operate over an open air assembly - must meet remote ID requirements
Category 2 Drone
To fly over people: must not cause injury equivalent to 11 pounds of kinetic energy, does not contain rotating parts that would lacerate, no safety defects, remote ID, listed with DOC*
Category 3 Drone
Cannot fly over open air assembly, must be labeled and listed with DOC, does not contain rotating parts that would lacerate, must not cause injury equivalent to 25 pounds of kinetic energy. To operate over people - they must either be notified on a closed site or under a covered structure
Category 4 Drone
Must have an air worthiness cert under part 21, maintenance and inspections etc, there are some operating limitations
How do you convert from True to Magnetic north
Add (west) or subtract (east) variance from true north
How much does temperature decrease per 1000 ft of elevation
2 degrees Celcius
Does pressure increase of decrease with elevation
Decrease
What is the temperature and pressure on a standard day
15C and 29.92 HG
What conditions to drones and other aircraft perform best in
Low temperatures and high pressure. Low humidity
What is density altitude
“feels like altitude” adjusted for temperature. Measure of what flight performance will be like
What causes weather
Atmospheric circulation as a result of uneven heating of the earth
Wind
Is created by changes in pressure H –> L, close isobars=steep pressure change=more wind
Saturation
Happens when an air mass is cooled to the dew point.
-Warm air mass moves over cold air mass
-Warm and cold air masses collide
-Air temp cools air mass
-An air mass is lifted
Radiation fog
Occurs when a warm air mass is cooled by the surface, is often found in valleys, burnt off by the sun
Advection fog
Occurs when a warm moist air mass is pushed over cold land by a sea breeze
Upslope fog
Warm moist air mass moves upslope and becomes saturated
Steam fog
Occurs when a cold dry air mass moves over a warm moist air mass, happens during the winter and causes low level turbulence
