   • CThe FAA's drone registration website
   • DA Remote ID broadcast standard
   Toon antwoord

   LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) gives airspace authorizations, often in near-real time, through FAA-approved suppliers.

9. Vraag 9 van 18

   A Part 107 pilot needs to fly above the altitude shown on a UAS Facility Map near an airport. What LAANC option fits?

   • AA near-real-time request at the site
   • BA Remote ID exemption request
   • CA further coordination request, sent up to 90 days ahead
   • DNo request is needed; Part 107 allows 400 feet in every class
   Toon antwoord

   Antwoord: C. A further coordination request, sent up to 90 days ahead

   Further coordination requests are for Part 107 pilots flying above the facility map ceiling, up to 400 feet, and can be sent up to 90 days ahead.

10. Vraag 10 van 18

    You got a LAANC authorization. What do you still have to check yourself?

    • AOnly the drone's battery level
    • BOnly the airport tower's phone number
    • CNOTAMs, weather and other airspace restrictions
    • DNothing, because LAANC already checks all of these for you
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. NOTAMs, weather and other airspace restrictions

    The FAA says LAANC gives airspace authorization only. Pilots must still check NOTAMs, weather and all airspace restrictions.

11. Vraag 11 van 18

    On a sectional chart you see an area labeled P-40. What kind of area is it?

    • AA private airport
    • BA prohibited area
    • CA permanent military route
    • DA parachute jump area
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. A prohibited area

    Prohibited areas are charted as P followed by a number, such as P-40. Flight is not allowed in them.

    A military training route on a chart is labeled VR1207. What do the four digits tell you?

    • ANo part of the route is above 1,500 feet AGL

    Antwoord: A. No part of the route is above 1,500 feet AGL

    MTRs with no segment above 1,500 feet AGL have four digits (e.g., IR1206, VR1207). Routes with a segment above 1,500 feet use three digits.

15. Vraag 15 van 18

    How is a temporary flight restriction (TFR) issued?

    • BBy a flight data center (FDC) NOTAM
    • CBy a METAR remark
    • DBy a sign at the airport gate

    A runway's magnetic direction is 274 degrees. What is its runway number?

    • A7
    • B27
    • C274
    • D28

    Antwoord: B. 27

    Runway numbers are the magnetic direction divided by 10 and rounded to the nearest whole number: 274 ÷ 10 = 27.4, so runway 27.

    • BATIS, 118.0
    • CUNICOM, 122.8
    • DMULTICOM, 122.9
