FAA sample question 23 of 46 · Operations
You are a remote pilot for a co-op energy service provider. You are to use your UA to inspect power lines in a remote area 15 hours away from your home office. After the drive, fatigue impacts your abilities to complete your assignment on time. Fatigue can be recognized
A. easily by an experienced pilot.
B. as being in an impaired state.
C. by an ability to overcome sleep deprivation.
Answer: B. as being in an impaired state.
Fatigue impairs judgement much as alcohol does, and the person affected is often the last to notice. Experience does not make it easy to spot, and sleep loss cannot be willed away.
