A remote pilot in command (PIC) intends to operate a small unmanned aircraft (sUA) within Class D airspace surrounding a towered airport. To comply with FAA regulations, what must the remote PIC obtain prior to the operation?
easy
Refer to the Chart Supplement excerpt shown in the figure. You plan to operate a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) within 2 NM of Sioux Gateway/Col Bud Day Field when the airport traffic control tower is closed. Is prior ATC authorization required?

Referring to the Chart Supplement excerpt in the provided figure for Sioux Gateway/Col Bud Day Field (SUX), a remote pilot plans to operate a small UAS 1.5 NM from the runway centerline below 400 feet AGL at 0400Z. According to the information provided, is prior ATC authorization required?
medium
A remote PIC intends to conduct small unmanned aircraft operations in weather conditions where the surface visibility is reported to be 1 statute mile. According to 14 CFR part 107, is this operation permissible?
easy
(Refer to Figure 70.) To operate a small UAS within the area outlined by the dashed blue lines surrounding the airport, what is required?
hard
A remote pilot in command (PIC) plans a small UAS operation on the departure side of a public-use airport surrounded by Class G airspace. The airport ASOS reports surface visibility of 2.5 statute miles with sky clear. The PIC confirms that visual line-of-sight (VLOS) can be maintained throughout the flight. May the PIC legally conduct the operation?
medium
Referring to the Chart Supplement excerpt for Sioux Gateway/Col Bud Day Field (SUX), a remote pilot in command (RPIC) plans to operate a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) 2 miles from the airport at 1000Z. What is required prior to commencing the operation?
hard
(Refer to the provided figure, sectional chart excerpt.) A remote PIC plans sUAS operations within the Class D airspace surrounding the airport depicted in the excerpt and obtains an airspace authorization via LAANC. To comply with airspace operational requirements, what is the most appropriate next step for obtaining applicable NOTAMs?
easy
The airport reference point of an airport not listed in the Chart Supplement is located 3 statute miles due south and 4 statute miles due west of your proposed small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) operating location. According to 14 CFR part 107, prior to commencing the operation, you must

A remote pilot in command (RPIC) plans to operate a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) within Class D airspace and obtains an ATC authorization through LAANC. The authorization specifies it is valid from 1400 to 1500 local time with a maximum altitude of 200 feet AGL. At 1505 local time, the RPIC is ready to launch. What is required for legal operation?
medium
Refer to the Chart Supplement excerpt (Figure 79) for Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field (SUX). While operating a small unmanned aircraft within the Class D airspace surrounding the airport during tower hours, the aircraft is illuminated by a ground-based laser. What is required?
medium
(Refer to the provided figure, a sectional chart excerpt.) The area depicted shows an uncontrolled airport with no designated airspace boundaries. What is the minimum visibility required to conduct small UAS operations in the surrounding airspace under Part 107?
medium
A remote pilot receives an ATC authorization via LAANC to operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class D airspace. The authorization specifies a maximum altitude limit of 150 feet AGL and is valid for 2 hours. During the operation, after 1 hour, the remote pilot determines that extending the flight to 300 feet AGL would improve mission effectiveness while maintaining VLOS. What is the BEST course of action?
easy
A remote pilot plans to operate a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) during the time period beginning 30 minutes after official sunset and ending 30 minutes before official sunrise. What lighting requirement must the sUAS meet to comply with FAA regulations?
hard
Refer to the sectional chart excerpt. A remote pilot in command (RPIC) has obtained an ATC authorization via LAANC to operate a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) within the Class D airspace depicted by the dashed magenta lines surrounding the airport. The authorization specifies a maximum altitude limitation of 100 feet above ground level (AGL). During the mission, the RPIC determines that 250 feet AGL is required to safely complete the operation. What must the RPIC do to legally operate at 250 feet AGL?
