Read the first 7 National Airspace System flashcards as text

  1. A remote pilot receives a LAANC authorization for 200 feet in Class C airspace. The pilot then decides to fly at 300 feet. What is the regulatory outcome?

    Answer: A violation; the pilot must operate within the authorized altitude

    LAANC authorizations specify altitude ceilings; exceeding the authorized altitude constitutes a regulatory violation under Part 107.

  2. What is a VFR corridor through Class B airspace?

    Answer: A charted path through Class B airspace where VFR flights may operate without ATC clearance

    A VFR corridor is a specific charted tunnel through Class B airspace that allows VFR aircraft to transit without an ATC clearance.

  3. Controlled firing areas (CFAs) differ from restricted areas in that CFAs:

    Answer: Suspend activities immediately when a non-participating aircraft approaches

    Unlike restricted areas, CFAs suspend their activities when non-participating aircraft approach, which is why they do not appear on sectional charts.

  4. What does a solid blue line on a sectional chart indicate when surrounding an airport?

    Answer: Class D airspace

    Class D airspace is depicted by a dashed blue line on sectional charts, encircling airports with an operational control tower.

  5. For sUAS operations in Class B airspace, which of the following is required?

    Answer: A waiver or authorization from the FAA

    Class B airspace requires prior FAA authorization for sUAS operations, obtainable via LAANC or FAA DroneZone.

  6. A remote pilot sees a NOTAM indicating a TFR established under 14 CFR 91.141. What activity does this TFR most likely protect?

    Answer: Flight of Presidential or other key government officials

    TFRs established under 14 CFR 91.141 protect the airspace around VIP aircraft movements, such as the President or Vice President.

  7. Which airspace classification does NOT require ATC communication or clearance for sUAS operations conducted entirely below 400 feet AGL?

    Answer: Class G

    Class G is uncontrolled airspace; no ATC communication or clearance is required for sUAS operations conducted there.
