28
Q

SIDA?

A

Security Identification Display Area; you need an ID for that shit

29
Q

What FAA resource can pilots reference to learn more about the impact of drugs and alcohol on flight?

A

The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge.

30
Q

You are conducting a Category 1 operation over a moving vehicle with a human being inside. Because of such operation, the small unmanned aircraft

A

must not maintain sustained flight over the vehicle.

“the sUAS must remain within or over a closed or restricted access site, and all human beings located inside a moving vehicle within the closed or restricted access site must be on notice that an sUAS may fly over them, and the sUAS must not maintain sustained flight over moving vehicles.”

31
Q

Who is responsible for making sure the sUAS is marked and listed on the declaration of compliance?

A

The person who submits the declaration of compliance for the sUAS.

32
Q

Where can you find information about operating in an MOA along your planned route of flight?

A

Sectional Chart

33
Q

An air mass moving inland from the coast in winter is likely to result in

A

Fog

34
Q

What’s does it mean if there’s a convective SIGMET issued

A

Any convective SIGMET implies severe or greater turbulence, severe icing, and low-level wind shear

35
Q

What are characteristics of stable air?

A

Poor visibility and steady precipitation.

36
Q

You are operating an sUAS that does not have GPS or an installed ground speed limiter. How can you determine the speed you are operating?

A

Dead reckoning

37
Q

When range and economy of operation are the principle goals, the remote pilot must ensure that the sUAS will be operated at the recommended

A

long-range cruise performance

38
Q

Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?

A

Insufficient carbon dioxide

39
Q

Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast indicates that

A

the ceiling is at least 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
