Q

What is the remote PIC Directly responsible for?

A

1) They are directly responsible for and or the final authority when it comes to the operation of the sUAS.
2) The remote PIC Must ensure that the sUAS Will pose no undue hazard to other people, other aircraft, or other property in the event of a loss of control of the aircraft for any reason.
3) The remote PIC also has the ability to direct the small UAS in a manner that ensures this compliance

20
Q

Can a remote PIC Transfer in and out during a flight?

A

YES, they can transfer in and out verbally.

21
Q

Can a person operate a sUAS from a moving aircraft?

A

NO

22
Q

What are the rules for operating a sUAS from a moving vehicle or waterborne vehicle?

A

The only allowable way to operate a sUAS from a moving vehicle or a waterborne vehicle is if it is flown over a sparsely populated area and is not transporting another persons property for compensation or hire.

23
Q

Can you operate a sUAS at night?

A

NO

24
Q

Define civil twilight?

A

Civil twilight is a period of time that begins 30 minutes before the official sunrise and ends at official sunrise. (Except for Alaska)

Civil twilight is a period that begins at official sunset and ends 30 minutes after official sunset. (Except for Alaska)

25
Q

How do we find out official civil twilight parameters in Alaska?

A

In Alaska the period of civil twilight is defined in the air almanac.

26
Q

What are the rules for operating a sUAS during periods of civil twilight?

A

No person may operate a sUAS during periods of civil twilight unless the sUAS has anti-collision lighting that is visible for at least 3 statute miles.

27
Q

Can the remote PIC reduce the intensity of the anti-collision lighting during civil twilight operations?

A

YES, if they determine that because of operating conditions, it would be in the interest of safety to do so.

28
Q

Define visual line of sight:

A

Visual line of sight is vision that is un-aided by any device other than corrective lenses. The operator or visual observer must be able to see the sUAS throughout the entire flight.

29
Q

Why must visual line of sight be maintained during the whole flight of the sUAS?

A

1) to know the unmanned aircraft location
2) to determine the unmanned aircrafts altitude, attitude, and direction of flight
3) To observe the air space for other air traffic or hazards
4) to determine that the unmanned aircraft does not endanger the life or property of another

30
Q

Visual line of sight must be maintained during the whole flight by one of three people. Who are they?

A

1) The remote pilot in command
2) The person manipulating the flight controls
3) A visual observer

31
Q

Can a person operate or act as a remote pilot in command or visual observer in the operation of more than one sUAS at a time?

A

NO

32
Q

Can a sUAS carry hazardous material?

A

NO

33
Q

Define: right of way rules

A

Each small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch and reentry vehicles. Yielding the right away means that the sUAS must give way to the aircraft or vehicle and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear.

34
Q

What is another name for “ right of way”?

A

SEE AND AVOID

35
Q

What are the rules for operating a sUAS over people?

A

No person may operate a sUAS over another person unless the person is:

1) directly participating in the operation of the sUAS

                                    — or —

2) located under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle that can provide reasonable protection from a falling sUAS.

36
Q

What are the airspeed limitations when it comes to operating a sUAS?

A

The airspeed of the sUAS may not exceed 87 knots, (100 mph)

37
Q

What are the operating limitations of the sUAS when it comes to altitude?

A

The altitude of the sUAS cannot be higher than 400’ above ground level, unless the sUAS:

  • is flown within a 400’ radius of a structure
                         —and—
  • and does not fly higher than 400’ above the structures immediate uppermost limit
38
Q

What is the minimum flight visibility required?

A

The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the ground control station must be no less than 3 statute miles.

39
Q

Define: flight visibility

A

Flight visibility means the average slant distance from the control station and which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified during the day, and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified at night.

40
Q

What are the requirements for a minimum distance of the sUAS from clouds?

A

1) 500’ below the clouds

2) 2000’ horizontally away from the clouds

41
Q

Under what conditions may object to be dropped from an aircraft?

A

If precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property on the surface.

42
Q

A person without a part 107 remote pilot certificate may operate a sUAS for commercial operations how?

A

Under the direct supervision of the remote PIC

43
Q

What is the definition of night time?

A

The time between the end of the evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight

44
Q

What are the 4 requirements to obtain a part 107 operator certification?

A

1) at least 16 years old
2) be able to read, speak, write, and understand English
3) pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test
4) not have any physical or mental condition that would interfere with the safe operations of a sUAS

45
Q

Define: Waivers

A

This provision allows a sUAS operation to deviate from certain provisions of part 107

1) Example: Night time operations
2) not all components of part 107 are waivable
