EASA Drone License A2

Question 1

What is the primary role of an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) in a multirotor?

Accepted Answer

It translates signals from the flight controller into precise pulses of electrical current to control the RPM of each individual brushless motor

Answer

It records the maximum speed the drone reaches during the flight

Answer

It cools down the battery during heavy manoeuvres

Answer

It provides the video link between the camera and the remote controller

Question 2

Under the EU drone regulations, what distinguishes a 'Toy' drone from a standard UAS?

Accepted Answer

Toy drones comply with the Toy Safety Directive (intended for children under 14) and do not require the operator to register, regardless of whether they have a camera

Answer

Toy drones are painted in bright colors

Answer

Toy drones must weigh exactly 249 grams

Answer

There is no legal distinction; all drones are treated identically

Question 3

What is the primary advantage of a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) fixed-wing hybrid drone?

Accepted Answer

It combines the vertical hovering and runway-independent take-off ability of a multirotor with the long-range cruise efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft

Answer

It can fly underwater

Answer

It requires no battery to fly

Answer

It is entirely invisible to radar

Question 4

What is an 'ATZ' in aeronautical charts?

Accepted Answer

Aerodrome Traffic Zone; a specific volume of airspace around an airport established for the protection of aerodrome traffic, requiring authorisation to enter

Answer

Automated Take-off Zone

Answer

Altitude Testing Zone

Answer

Air Transport Zenith

Question 5

A heavier UAS generally requires:

Accepted Answer

larger safety distances because of the potential kinetic energy of an impact

Answer

smaller distances because it is more stable

Answer

no additional check

Answer

flying over people as a matter of routine

Question 6

If an operation requires BVLOS flight, in which category must it be conducted?

Accepted Answer

The Specific or Certified category, depending on the risk level

Answer

The Open A1 subcategory

Answer

The Open A2 subcategory, if the pilot holds an A2 certificate

Answer

The Open A3 subcategory

Question 7

Regarding firmware updates for your drone, what is the safest practice?

Accepted Answer

Apply updates, but always perform a safe test flight in an open area before conducting a critical mission

Answer

Never update the firmware unless the drone physically crashes

Answer

Update the firmware mid-flight via cellular connection

Answer

Firmware updates are illegal for C-class drones

Question 8

Under the EASA A2 subcategory, how is the 'low-speed mode' physically activated on a C2 drone?

Accepted Answer

Via a selectable switch or software toggle on the remote controller/app that strictly limits the maximum speed to 3 m/s

Answer

By manually changing the propellers to smaller ones

Answer

By holding the controller sticks at the bottom left position for 5 seconds

Answer

It activates automatically whenever the drone senses a person nearby

Question 9

The low-speed mode available on some class C2 UAS is useful because it:

Accepted Answer

reduces the kinetic energy and makes it easier to keep safe distances

Answer

replaces any risk assessment

Answer

permits flight over an assembly of people

Answer

increases the impact energy

Question 10

Flying a drone over featureless terrain, like calm water or a flat snowy field, can cause:

Accepted Answer

A loss of depth perception and difficulty in accurately judging altitude for the remote pilot

Answer

The battery to charge itself

Answer

The drone to fly backward automatically

Answer

Immediate loss of radio link
