Which of the following behaviors would be considered as careless and reckless by the FAA and possibly lead to a fine or license suspension by the FAA?
Imported item 52
I) Fly over people II) Fly a UAS while the RPIC is on a moving boat following the drone while on an open lake III) Fly over moving vehicles IV) RPIC consuming any alcohol within 24 hours prior to flying a UAS
The correct answer is:
You are allowed to fly over people and over moving vehicles as long as you follow the proper guidelines, so that behavior wouldn’t be considered reckless.
It is considered reckless, by the FAA, to operate a UAS while the RPIC is on a moving vehicle. You cannot operate as a RPIC or a visual observer if you’ve consumed alcohol in the past 8 hours or if greater than 8 hours, you have a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater.
That's correct! Good job

You wish to self-categorize a UAS you currently own. Your UAS weighs 200g. Under which FAA category are you allowed to possibly self-categorize in without the need of prior FAA approval?
Imported item 53
Category 1
Category 2
None of the above. You are not allowed to self-categorize your UAS without prior FAA approval
Don't know - Mark as incorrect
The correct answer is:
You are allowed to self-categorize your drone as a Category 1 as long as you meet the requirements of:
- Weights 0.55lb (250 grams) or less on takeoff and during the duration of flight
- Must meet remote ID requirements
-No rotating parts that could cut human skin

You are inspecting a 380-ft telecom tower in an uncontrolled airspace. The cloud base is 1,100 ft above ground level (AGL) and visibility is 3 statute miles (SM). What is the highest legal altitude you may fly?
Imported item 54
The correct answer is:
Recall the following guidelines when it comes to flight elevation:
You are allowed to fly up to a height of 400 feet above the ground that is directly below the UAS. The exception is when you are flying over a building or structure and you happen to be in an uncontrolled airspace. You can fly 400 feet above the top of the structure. However, you must stay at least 500 feet below a cloud even if this height eats up some of your 400 feet allowance. You must also stay at least 2000 feet away from clouds, horizontally.
Since we are in an uncontrolled airspace, we are allowed to be 400 feet above the 380-ft telecom tower, which would take us to an elevation of 780 feet. Clouds are at 1,100 feet above ground and FAA mandates we provide a 500 feet vertical clearance from clouds which would bring us down to a maximum elevation of
1,100 - 500 = 600 feet.
Therefore, the maximum elevation we can legally reach is not 780 feet but 600 feet.

What is the maximum speed you are allowed to fly a drone?
Imported item 55
The correct answer is:
The maxium speed allowed is 100mph (87 knots).
That's correct! Good job
The maxium speed allowed is 100mph (87 knots).
You plan to shoot paid real-estate photos with a 245 g drone. Before the flight, which statement is correct?
Imported item 56
No registration is needed because the drone is under 250 grams
Registration is only required if the drone flies over people when the drone weighs less than 250g
You must register the drone with the FAA
Don't know - Mark as incorrect
The correct answer is:
UAS under 250g do not need to be registered if they are being used for recreational purposes. Howeever, all UAS used for commercial reasons must be registered with the FAA regardless of their weight.
