Regulations
1. Which of the following is NOT a rule that can be waived under the Part 107 waiver process?
Why: 14 CFR 107.205 lists the sections a certificate of waiver can cover, including visual line of sight (107.31) and yielding the right of way (107.37(a)). The accident-reporting rule, 107.9, is not on that list, so an operation that causes serious injury, loss of consciousness, or property damage over $500 must be reported within 10 calendar days whatever waivers the operator holds.
2. A remote pilot plans to operate a small unmanned aircraft at a distance where neither the remote pilot nor any visual observer can maintain continuous visual contact with the aircraft. What is required before conducting this operation?
Why: Keeping the aircraft within visual line of sight is one of the rules the FAA will waive, so an operation where neither the remote pilot nor a visual observer can see the aircraft needs a Part 107 waiver before it is flown. Remote ID is a separate requirement: broadcasting identification tells others who is flying, it does not relieve anyone of the duty to see the aircraft. LAANC gives airspace authorization to fly in controlled airspace near an airport, which is a different permission and says nothing about flying beyond visual line of sight.
3. A 15-year-old wants to fly a small unmanned aircraft under Part 107 as a remote pilot in command. Which statement is correct?
Why: To be eligible for a remote pilot certificate a person must be at least 16 years old (14 CFR 107.61(a)); passing the knowledge test does not change that, and there is no parental-consent exception. Until then they cannot act as remote pilot in command, although Part 107 does allow a person without a certificate to manipulate the controls under the direct supervision of a certificated remote pilot in command who can immediately take over (14 CFR 107.12(a)(2)).
4. What is the difference in the location information broadcast by a Standard Remote ID drone versus a drone equipped with a Remote ID broadcast module?
Why: A Standard Remote ID drone is produced with built-in broadcast capabilities that provide identification and location information about the drone and the control station. A Remote ID broadcast module, by contrast, broadcasts identification and location information about the drone and its take-off location. This distinction matters operationally: the control station location is more dynamic (it updates as the pilot moves), while the take-off location is a fixed point established at the start of the flight.
5. During a Part 107 operation, a manned helicopter appears and is flying toward the drone's area at low altitude. Which statement is correct?
Why: Section 107.37 requires the small unmanned aircraft to yield the right of way to all aircraft, airborne vehicles and launch and reentry vehicles, and not to pass so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. Being there first, or the manned-aircraft right-of-way conventions, do not give the drone priority.
6. Which of the following is a valid purpose for which the FAA issues a Remote ID Letter of Authorization?
Why: The FAA explicitly states that it issues Remote ID Letters of Authorization to drone operators for the purpose of aeronautical research or to show compliance with regulations. This is a distinct mechanism from the standard Part 107 waiver process; it is a letter specifically tied to Remote ID requirements. The registration-extension option is wrong because a Remote ID Letter of Authorization has no bearing on registration validity, which is governed by separate registration rules. The altitude option is wrong because a Remote ID Letter of Authorization addresses only Remote ID compliance and does not modify any operational restriction such as the altitude limit, which would require a separate waiver or authorization.
7. Which of the following best describes a primary purpose of the Remote ID broadcast requirement for small unmanned aircraft?
Why: The FAA states that Remote ID helps the agency, law enforcement, and other federal agencies locate the control station when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly. It is a safety-and-security tool for third parties, not a self-tracking feature for the pilot. The option describing pilot self-tracking is wrong because the broadcast is directed outward to other parties, not inward to the operator. The option describing ATC separation is wrong because Part 107 does not place drones under ATC separation; the broadcast is for identification and location, not for air traffic control to issue vectors or separation instructions.
8. An applicant fails the Part 107 Initial Aeronautical Knowledge Test. What is the minimum waiting period before the applicant may retake it?
Why: Under 14 CFR 107.71, an applicant who fails a knowledge test may not reapply for 14 calendar days. Do not confuse this with recurrent requirements: remote pilots no longer take a recurrent knowledge test, and certificate holders maintain aeronautical knowledge recency by completing the FAA's online recurrent training every 24 calendar months.
9. A county sheriff's department operates a registered drone for public safety missions. Which statement about Remote ID is correct?
Why: The Remote ID rule explicitly covers drones flown for public safety in addition to recreation and business, so a registered public safety drone must comply. The FAA does issue Remote ID Letters of Authorization to operators who are eligible to operate without Remote ID or to deviate from the requirements, such as for aeronautical research or to demonstrate compliance with regulations. The jurisdiction option is wrong because the rule applies regardless of where the operation takes place; there is no geographic carve-out tied to county lines. The blanket-exemption option is wrong because the rule does not carve out a general public safety exception.
10. A recreational flyer previously registered a drone and answered 'No' to the Remote ID question during that registration. The flyer now wants to add Remote ID compliance for that same drone. What must the flyer do?
Why: The FAA's instructions for recreational flyers state that if you previously listed a drone and answered 'No' to the Remote ID question, you will now create a new listing for that same drone. This is different from the Part 107 workflow, where the pilot edits the existing registration to change the Remote ID selection to 'Yes.' The 'edit the existing registration' option describes the Part 107 process, not the recreational process. The 'cancel and re-register' option is unnecessary because the FAA specifically directs recreational flyers to create a new listing rather than canceling and starting over.
