Q1. Under Part 107, what is the maximum allowable altitude for a small unmanned aircraft operation without a waiver, measured above ground level?

A. 400 feet AGL, or within 400 feet of a structure
B. 500 feet AGL under all circumstances
C. 1,000 feet AGL in Class G airspace
D. 250 feet AGL near populated areas

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. 400 feet AGL, or within 400 feet of a structure

Part 107.51 sets the default maximum altitude at 400 feet above ground level, with an exception allowing flight higher than 400 feet if the aircraft remains within 400 feet of a structure. The 500-foot figure is a common confusion with manned-aircraft minimum altitude rules, not the UAS ceiling.

Q2. Class E airspace that begins at the surface at an airport is shown on a sectional chart as what?

A. A solid blue line
B. A solid magenta line
C. A dashed magenta line
D. A blue shaded band

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. A dashed magenta line

A dashed magenta line indicates Class E airspace extending down to the surface at a non-towered airport. This alerts pilots that controlled airspace exists at ground level even without a control tower.

Q3. Why should a remote pilot avoid flying a small UAS anywhere near a thunderstorm, even several miles away from the visible cell?

A. Because thunderstorms only pose a hazard directly beneath the cloud
B. Because outflow boundaries and gust fronts can produce strong, sudden wind changes well outside the storm's visible boundary
C. Because thunderstorms reduce GPS signal strength exclusively
D. Because FAA regulations only prohibit flight within the cloud itself

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Because outflow boundaries and gust fronts can produce strong, sudden wind changes well outside the storm's visible boundary

Thunderstorm outflow (gust fronts) can travel many miles ahead of or away from the storm cell, producing sudden strong and gusty winds capable of overpowering a small UAS's control authority. Visible distance from the storm cloud does not guarantee the pilot is clear of these hazardous wind effects.
