- A professional wildlife photographer operates an sUAS from a moving truck to capture aerial images of migrating birds in remote wetlands. The driver of the truck does not serve any crew member role in the operation. Is this sUAS operation in compliance with 14 CFR Part 107?
A. Compliant with Part 107
B. Not compliant with Part 107
C. Not compliant with state and local traffic laws
A
You may operate a sUAS from a moving vehicle if you are in a sparsely populated area and the driver does not serve as the remote PIC, person manipulating the controls, or visual observer.

Answer: C
You may not operate a small, unmanned aircraft directly over another person unless that person is directly involved in the operation (such as a visual observer or other crew member) or within a safe cover, such as inside a stationary vehicle or a protective structure that would protect a person from harm if the small, unmanned aircraft were to crash into that structure.

- Which technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic?
A. Continuously scan the sky from right to left
B. Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals

Answer: B
“Effective scanning is accomplished with a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field. Each movement brings successive areas of the sky into the central visual field. Each movement should not exceed 10 degrees and each area should be observed at least one second to enable detection.
Reference: AIM 8-1-6”
