Question 1

How does performing a steep banked turn affect the stall speed of a fixed-wing UAV compared to level flight?

Accepted Answer

The stall speed increases because the wings must produce more lift to counteract the higher load factor

Answer

The stall speed remains exactly the same

Answer

The stall speed decreases, making the drone more stable

Answer

Stall speed only applies to multirotor drones

Question 2

What is a 'Jet Stream'?

Accepted Answer

A narrow band of very strong, high-altitude winds (often exceeding 100 knots) flowing generally from west to east near the tropopause

Answer

The exhaust trail left by a jet engine

Answer

A warm ocean current flowing from the tropics

Answer

A sudden burst of wind near a mountain valley

Question 3

In flight dynamics, what is 'Pitch'?

Accepted Answer

Rotation around the lateral axis (tilting the nose up or down)

Answer

Rotation around the vertical axis (turning left or right)

Answer

Rotation around the longitudinal axis (banking left or right)

Answer

The speed at which the drone gains altitude

Question 4

Why is it important to calibrate the drone's compass in an open area, away from metal structures or vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Large metallic objects or electromagnetic fields can distort the Earth's local magnetic field, leading to an incorrect calibration and erratic flight behavior

Answer

Metal structures block the Wi-Fi signal required for calibration

Answer

The drone needs a clear view of the sun to calibrate

Answer

It takes too long to calibrate near buildings

Question 5

In aviation forecasts, the 'Freezing Level' refers to:

Accepted Answer

The lowest altitude in the free atmosphere at which the air temperature reaches 0 °C, above which icing risks significantly increase

Answer

The time of day when water freezes

Answer

The ground temperature during winter

Answer

The altitude where oxygen turns into a liquid

Question 6

What is 'Aerodynamic Drag'?

Accepted Answer

The resistive force exerted by the air opposite to the direction of the aircraft's motion

Answer

The upward force generated by the propellers

Answer

The gravitational pull on the drone's mass

Answer

The rotational force around the yaw axis

Question 7

A sound operational mitigation to apply before take-off is to:

Accepted Answer

plan a flight path that avoids pedestrian walkways

Answer

fly as close as possible to public access points

Answer

select an area without taking the wind into account

Answer

rely solely on the camera zoom to monitor the surroundings

Question 8

When the UAS is fitted with a device that limits the consequences of an impact, such as a parachute, the remote pilot must regard it as:

Accepted Answer

an additional aid that does not replace the required safety distances.

Answer

a means that permits flight over an assembly of people.

Answer

an automatic clearance to operate in a restricted geographical zone.

Answer

a device that makes any flight preparation unnecessary.

Question 9

The most effective way to reduce the consequences of a ground impact is often to:

Accepted Answer

reduce the kinetic energy by managing mass, speed and distance to uninvolved persons

Answer

remove every area restriction

Answer

increase the flight altitude as much as possible

Answer

fly faster when close to people

Question 10

How does EASA regulate the dropping of materials from a drone in the Open category?

Accepted Answer

It is strictly prohibited under any circumstances in the Open category

Answer

It is allowed for agricultural purposes only

Answer

It is allowed if the dropped material weighs less than 100 grams

Answer

It is permitted if the pilot has a C2 class drone
