For which airspace does Part 107 require prior authorization from air traffic control?
- Class G airspace that lies within 5 miles of any airport
- Class B and C only, because only they have radar service
- Class B, C and D, and Class E surface areas for an airport
- All Class E airspace, including that starting at 700 ft AGL
Show the answer
C. Class B, C and D, and Class E surface areas for an airport
Authorization is needed in Class B, C and D and within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E designated for an airport. Class E that starts at 700 or 1,200 ft AGL is above normal operating altitudes and needs none.

What is the angle of attack of a wing?

- The angle between the flight path and the ground
- The angle between the chord line and the relative wind

What is crew resource management?
- Rotating the crew between positions so that nobody becomes fatigued
- Assigning every task to the remote pilot in command to avoid confusion
- Making effective use of all available people, equipment and information
- Keeping the crew as small as possible to cut down on communication
Show the answer
C. Making effective use of all available people, equipment and information
Crew resource management is the effective use of all available resources (human, hardware and information) before and during flight. Loading every task onto one person is the opposite of the idea.
