EASA Drone License A2

Question 1

What is the primary factor you must evaluate to determine the 'Ground Risk' of your operation?

Accepted Answer

The density of uninvolved people in the overflown area and the potential for the drone to impact them in case of a failure

Answer

The presence of other drones in the same airspace

Answer

The softness of the grass in the landing zone

Answer

The radio frequency used by the remote controller

Question 2

Why is 'Rime Ice' considered highly dangerous to aircraft aerodynamics?

Accepted Answer

It is rough and milky, altering the aerodynamic shape of the airfoil rapidly, destroying lift and increasing drag

Answer

It dissolves the plastic of the drone

Answer

It burns the motors

Answer

It is completely invisible, making it impossible to detect

Question 3

How is 'Density Altitude' best defined in aviation?

Accepted Answer

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature; it is the altitude the drone 'feels' like it is flying at

Answer

The physical altitude measured by a laser rangefinder

Answer

The altitude of the lowest cloud layer

Answer

The height above the terrain directly below the drone

Question 4

On a weather map, what are 'Isobars'?

Accepted Answer

Lines connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure

Answer

Lines connecting points of equal temperature

Answer

Lines indicating the boundaries of controlled airspace

Answer

Lines tracking the path of a hurricane

Question 5

What is the primary danger of operating a UAS near the anvil of a cumulonimbus cloud?

Accepted Answer

Severe turbulence, lightning, and large hail can be thrown out of the anvil and fall miles away from the main storm centre

Answer

The anvil blocks GPS satellites

Answer

It makes the drone invisible to radar

Answer

The air is too thin to fly in

Question 6

How does a standard quadcopter achieve yaw control (rotation around the vertical axis)?

Accepted Answer

By altering the speed of the clockwise-spinning motors relative to the counter-clockwise-spinning motors, creating a torque imbalance

Answer

By tilting a physical tail rotor

Answer

By shifting the internal battery weight left or right

Answer

By using movable aerodynamic flaps on the arms

Question 7

If a remote pilot modifies a C2 class UAS with heavy, non-approved aftermarket parts, what is the regulatory consequence?

Accepted Answer

The modification may invalidate the C2 class identification label, potentially forcing the drone to be operated under the more restrictive A3 subcategory rules

Answer

The drone is automatically upgraded to a C3 class

Answer

There are no consequences as long as the MTOM remains under 25 kg

Answer

The drone can only be flown indoors

Question 8

During night operations (where legally permitted), EASA requires drones to be equipped with:

Accepted Answer

A flashing green light to ensure the drone is visible and distinguishable from manned aircraft

Answer

Infrared night-vision cameras

Answer

A continuous loud siren to warn bystanders in the dark

Answer

Laser rangefinders

Question 9

What does 'MSL' stand for in aviation altimetry?

Accepted Answer

Mean Sea Level

Answer

Maximum Safe Limit

Answer

Minimum Sector Level

Answer

Meteorological Standard Level

Question 10

What is 'Command Latency' in remote piloting?

Accepted Answer

The slight delay between the pilot moving the control stick and the drone executing the physical manoeuvre

Answer

The time it takes to get permission from ATC

Answer

The duration of the drone's battery

Answer

The time required to read the flight manual
