Spinning the Gimbal dial to the left tilts the camera

so it looks up

Spinning the gimbal dial to the left tells the drone

to look down

When a control tower, located on an airport within Class D airspace, ceases operation for the day, what happens to the airspace designation?

The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.

20 nautical miles.

The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is

to enter 45° at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.

You are conducting sUAS operations just north of an airport when ATC instructs you to remain clear of final for runway 9. You

can continue your operations.

The numbers 8 and 26 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is orientated approximately

080° and 260° magnetic.

Possible mountain wave turbulence could be anticipated when winds of 40 knots or greater blow

across a mountain ridge, and the air is stable.

What effect does oxygen have on night vision?

As altitude increases, the available oxygen decreases, degrading night vision.

The vertical limits of that portion of Class E airspace designated as a Federal Airway over Magee Airport are

1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL.

(Refer to Figure 22, area 2; and Figure 31.) At Coeur d'Alene, which frequency should be used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to monitor airport traffic?

122.8 MHz.

The red symbol at sign D would most likely be found

at an intersection where a roadway may be mistaken as a taxiway.

You have been hired to inspect a farm 3 miles west of Hilton Head Airport, in what type of airspace will you be operating?

Class C

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight:

"TRAFFIC 2 O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND..."

Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.

In order to get permission to fly your drone in controlled airspace through LAANC, you need to make your request

on the Internet.

In what airspace is Onawa (K36) located?

Class G.

You are part of a news crew, operating an sUAS to cover a breaking story. You experience a flyaway during landing. The unmanned aircraft strikes a vehicle, causing approximately $800 worth of damage. When must you report the accident to the FAA?

Within 10 days.

One of the most easily recognized discontinuities across a front is

a change in temperature.

Which is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts?

Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue.

Under Part 107, you must cease operating an sUAS at

the end of evening civil twilight.

If there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected on the landing approach?

Wind-shear turbulence.

A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits

two quick, white flashes between green flashes.

When using the PAVE checklist, you want to evaluate the risks involving the

Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures.
