Question 1: What system provides near real-time airspace authorization for UAS operations in controlled airspace?
- LAANC (Correct answer)
- NOTAM
- TFR portal
- PIREP system
Correct answer: LAANC
The Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) provides automated, near real-time airspace authorizations for UAS in controlled airspace.
Question 2: Which Part 107 operation requires an FAA waiver?
- Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations (Correct answer)
- Flying in Class G airspace
- Flying at 300 feet AGL
- Operating during civil twilight
Correct answer: Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations
BVLOS operations are not permitted under standard Part 107 rules and require an FAA-issued waiver to conduct legally.
Question 3: Which class of airspace can a remote pilot operate in WITHOUT prior FAA authorization under Part 107?
- Class G airspace (Correct answer)
- Class B airspace
- Class C airspace
- Class D airspace
Correct answer: Class G airspace
Class G is uncontrolled airspace where no prior FAA authorization is required for Part 107 sUAS operations.
Question 4: How does a remote pilot obtain authorization to fly in Class D airspace under Part 107?
- Through LAANC or by submitting a DroneZone request (Correct answer)
- By contacting the nearest FSDO
- By filing a NOTAM
- By obtaining a waiver from the FAA Administrator
Correct answer: Through LAANC or by submitting a DroneZone request
Remote pilots can obtain Class D airspace authorization via the LAANC system or by submitting a request through the FAA DroneZone website.

- 10 calendar days (Correct answer)
- 24 hours
- 5 calendar days
- 30 calendar days
Correct answer: 10 calendar days
Part 107 requires the remote PIC to report to the FAA within 10 calendar days if an accident results in serious injury or property damage exceeding $500 (excluding the sUAS itself).
Question 6: What is the purpose of a Certificate of Waiver (CoW) under Part 107?
- To allow operations that deviate from specific Part 107 regulations (Correct answer)
- To replace the Remote Pilot Certificate
- To register the sUAS with the FAA
- To obtain airspace authorization near airports
Correct answer: To allow operations that deviate from specific Part 107 regulations
A Certificate of Waiver allows a remote pilot to conduct operations that would otherwise violate specific Part 107 regulations, provided equivalent safety can be maintained.
