Question 1 A Part 107 flight is planned in controlled airspace. What approval is required before operating there?

Answer choices

  1. A. Authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC), for this decision.
  2. B. Visual line of sight (VLOS) only, for the described technical objective.
  3. C. A waiver from the FAA, for the specified implementation requirement.
  4. D. Notification to the airport operator, for this task.

Correct answer

Authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC), for this decision.

Controlled airspace operations require the appropriate FAA or ATC authorization before the small UAS operates there. In the answer list, this is "Authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC)". The other answers point to separate permissions, limits, or operating concerns.

Wrong-answer review

  • B. Visual line of sight (VLOS) only, for the described technical objective.: Visual line of sight (VLOS) only is incorrect because the rule being tested requires authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC).
  • C. A waiver from the FAA, for the specified implementation requirement.: A waiver from the FAA is incorrect because a waiver is only for an approved deviation; this item requires authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC).
  • D. Notification to the airport operator, for this task.: Notification to the airport operator is incorrect because the rule being tested requires authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC).

Extra learning features

Why candidates miss this

Focusing on visual line of sight, or VLOS, usually comes from mixing up airspace authorization requirements. While VLOS is a important operational condition, it doesn't substitute for the necessary approval from Air Traffic Control (ATC) to enter controlled airspace. The airspace classification dictates the specific permissions needed, and VLOS is a separate consideration. Likely wrong answer: Visual line of sight (VLOS) only Review focus: Airspace Authorizations

Interview question

Q: You need to inspect a cell tower in controlled airspace. Walk through the permission process. Strong answer: I would identify the airspace, check whether LAANC is available, and request authorization through LAANC or FAA DroneZone as appropriate. I would review the approved altitude, time, location, and conditions before launch. I would not rely on calling the tower as a substitute for the FAA authorization process.

  • Identifies controlled airspace
  • Uses LAANC/DroneZone
  • Reviews authorization conditions

Caution: Do not make direct tower contact the primary Part 107 authorization method.

Why this matters

Controlled-airspace authorization is a launch condition, not a mid-flight fix. A pilot who waits until arrival to resolve approval can strand the crew, disappoint the client, or create an unsafe airspace conflict. Real planning means confirming authorization, time window, altitude, location, and operating conditions before the aircraft is powered up.

Question 2 A drone pilot needs to fly in an area where LAANC is unavailable. What is the appropriate next step to obtain airspace authorization?

Answer choices

  1. A. Contact the nearest FAA Flight Service Station for manual review, within the documented scope, ownership, and validation boundaries.
  2. B. Use FAA DroneZone to submit a request for airspace authorization, as the recommended implementation across the complete governed service lifecycle.
  3. C. Proceed with the flight, as LAANC unavailability means no authorization is required, for the described technical objective.
  4. D. Contact the airport operator to request a waiver, within organization-wide risk-and-accountability boundaries.

Correct answer

Use FAA DroneZone to submit a request for airspace authorization, as the recommended implementation across the complete governed service lifecycle.

Question 3 You damage a parked car with your drone. The repair cost is $1,200. According to Part 107, what must you do?

Answer choices

  1. A. No report is necessary, as the damage was to personal property
  2. B. Notify the drone manufacturer within 24 hours, within the described operational context.
  3. C. File an FAA accident report within 10 calendar days, within the regulations and part 107 operations context.

Question 4 A client requests you transport a small quantity of flammable liquid using a drone for a photography project. What is the correct action, according to Part 107?

Answer choices

  1. A. Decline the request; Part 107 prohibits carrying hazardous materials, in the described situation.
  2. B. Transport the liquid, but only if the client signs a waiver, within organization-wide risk-and-accountability boundaries.
  3. C. Transport the liquid, ensuring it's properly secured, within the described context.
  4. D. Transport the liquid, provided you obtain prior FAA approval, as the organization’s selected response.
