  1. What is the lateral radius of a standard stadium TFR when a major league sporting event is in progress?

    Answer: 3 nautical miles

    Under 14 CFR 91.145, a 3 nautical mile TFR extending up to 3,000 feet AGL is established during major sporting events.

  2. Which of the following best describes Class E airspace that begins at 700 feet AGL?

    Answer: It is depicted by a magenta vignette (shaded) on sectional charts

    Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet AGL is shown by a magenta vignette (fade) on sectional aeronautical charts.

  3. A sUAS pilot operates near a military installation inside a Military Operations Area (MOA). What should the pilot do?

    Answer: Check NOTAMs and contact the controlling agency to determine if the MOA is active

    MOAs are not automatically prohibited for UAS but pilots must check NOTAMs and contact the controlling agency when the MOA is active.

  4. Under Part 107, how far must a drone be operated from a non-towered airport without ATC authorization?

    Answer: There is no fixed distance rule; authorization is required for Class D, C, or B airspace

    Part 107 does not specify a fixed distance; what matters is whether the airspace is controlled (Class B/C/D/E surface), which requires authorization.

  5. Which airspace class has a surface area that requires authorization for UAS operations and is depicted by a dashed magenta line on sectionals?

    Answer: Class E surface area

    Class E surface areas are depicted by a dashed magenta line and require UAS authorization just like Class B, C, and D.

  6. A drone pilot receives a LAANC authorization to fly at 200 feet AGL. The pilot then climbs to 250 feet AGL to get a better camera angle. This action is:

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

    LAANC authorizations specify maximum altitudes that must not be exceeded; flying above the authorized ceiling violates the authorization.

  7. What does the term 'surface area' mean when referring to Class D airspace?

    Answer: The controlled airspace extends from the surface up to a designated altitude

    A Class D surface area means the controlled airspace begins at the ground surface and extends upward to a charted altitude.
