Answers & reasoning

1. The crew's communication arrangement · Choice D

The relevant case condition is: A visual observer sees approaching traffic but has no effective way to alert the remote PIC. When using a visual observer, the crew must coordinate and maintain effective communication; the remote PIC retains operational responsibility. Therefore choose “The crew's communication arrangement”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-observer-coordination-1

2. The drone is 100 ft above the floor · Choice C

The relevant case condition is: An original schematic places an airspace floor at 2100 ft MSL. In these supplied schematic exercises, compare aircraft MSL altitude directly with a stated MSL airspace floor; the exercise does not replace actual chart classification or authorization. Therefore choose “The drone is 100 ft above the floor”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

3. It is below 55 lb · Choice A

The relevant case condition is: A proposed small UAS takeoff weight, including payload, is 54 lb. Small unmanned aircraft under Part 107 weigh less than 55 lb at takeoff, including everything onboard or attached. Therefore choose “It is below 55 lb”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

4. The actual mission profile and its energy demands · Choice C

The relevant case condition is: A performance estimate is based only on still-air cruise and ignores hovering with the payload. Performance planning must consider the actual aircraft data, loading, battery condition and environment; one successful prior flight is not a universal capability guarantee. Therefore choose “The actual mission profile and its energy demands”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-performance-conditions-3

5. The applicable over-people category and operational conditions · Choice A

The relevant case condition is: A registered Remote ID aircraft is proposed for sustained flight over an assembly. Remote ID compliance identifies an aircraft/operation under its applicable rules; it does not replace pilot qualification, airspace approval or over-people eligibility. Therefore choose “The applicable over-people category and operational conditions”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-remoteid-not-permission-3

6. 2500 ft AGL · Choice C

The relevant case condition is: An original decoding exercise includes BKN025. Multiply the stated rate or scale factor: 25 × 100 = 2500 ft AGL. Keep the per-item or height-code multiplier; using only one factor omits the requested scaling. Therefore choose “2500 ft AGL”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

7. 700 ft AGL · Choice D

The relevant case condition is: A structure is 300fttall. Add the supplied quantities: 300 + 400 = 700 ft AGL. The added400 ft is conditional on the structure-distance premise, not an unlimited altitude allowance. Therefore choose “700 ft AGL”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-structure-height-5

8. 300 ft AGL · Choice D

The relevant case condition is: At a site with terrain elevation 2000 ft MSL, a drone flies at 2300 ft MSL. Subtract the quantities on the same reference: 2300 − 2000 = 300 ft AGL. Adding the values would combine the reference with the difference instead of measuring the requested separation. Therefore choose “300 ft AGL”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-agl-msl-4

9. Interference with airport operations and aircraft · Choice B

The relevant case condition is: A planned flight crosses an airport traffic pattern. Pilots must check applicable flight restrictions and avoid interfering with airport operations and traffic patterns; a base map is not a complete current briefing. Therefore choose “Interference with airport operations and aircraft”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.

faa-part-107-restrictions-and-airports-3

10. Applicable rules and safety assessment · Choice C

The relevant case condition is: Conditions deteriorate while the mission remains commercially important. The remote PIC is responsible for assessing changes in the operating environment and remaining able to conduct the operation safely. Therefore choose “Applicable rules and safety assessment”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.
