What this covers

Sample questions

Which of these flights is NOT conducted under Part 107?

  1. A farmer surveying the farm's own crops to plan fertilizer use
  2. A volunteer mapping a trail for a nonprofit conservation group
  3. A hobbyist flying purely for fun under the recreational exception
  4. A roofer photographing a customer's roof to prepare an estimate
Show the answer

C. A hobbyist flying purely for fun under the recreational exception

Part 107 covers civil small UAS flights except those that meet the statutory exception for limited recreational operations. Work for a business or a nonprofit is not recreation even when nobody is paid for the flight itself.

Reference: 14 CFR 107.1; 49 USC 44809

A real-estate photographer flies a 0.4 lb camera drone on paid jobs under Part 107. Does the aircraft have to be registered?

  1. Yes, but only if it is flown in controlled airspace
  2. Yes, any aircraft flown under Part 107 must be registered
  3. No, aircraft under 0.55 lb never need registration
  4. No, registration starts at 4.4 lb for commercial work
Show the answer

B. Yes, any aircraft flown under Part 107 must be registered

The 0.55 lb exemption applies only to aircraft flown exclusively under the recreational exception. Anything flown under Part 107 must be registered whatever it weighs, which is why the 'under 0.55 lb' answer is tempting but wrong.

Reference: 14 CFR 107.13; 14 CFR 48.15

A private pilot certificated under Part 61 has a current flight review and wants a remote pilot certificate. What is the knowledge requirement?

  1. Nothing more; Part 61 privileges cover small UAS
  2. Log five hours of small UAS time with an instructor
  3. Complete the FAA's online initial training course
  4. Pass the initial knowledge test at a testing center
Show the answer

C. Complete the FAA's online initial training course

A Part 61 pilot (other than a student pilot) with a current flight review may take the online initial training course in place of the knowledge test. A Part 61 certificate alone does not carry small UAS privileges.

Reference: 14 CFR 107.61(d); 14 CFR 107.63
