Flight performance and planning - EASA Drone License A2

Question 1

Why is 'tunnel vision' a dangerous human factor during an emergency?

Accepted Answer

High stress causes the pilot to fixate on a single problem (like a warning light), completely losing overall situational awareness of the drone's position and surroundings

Answer

It causes the pilot to physically go blind for a few seconds

Answer

It makes the video transmission screen go dark

Answer

It forces the drone to fly in a straight line

Question 2

What is the difference between an 'involved person' and an 'uninvolved person' in EASA regulations?

Accepted Answer

Involved persons are briefed on the operation and safety risks; uninvolved persons are not participating and must be kept at a safe distance

Answer

Involved persons are local police; uninvolved persons are regular citizens

Answer

There is no legal difference in the Open category

Answer

Uninvolved persons can be flown over if they are wearing hard hats

Question 3

Under EASA Open category rules, what is the policy on flying over assemblies of people?

Accepted Answer

It is strictly prohibited for all drones in the Open category

Answer

It is allowed if the drone weighs less than 4 kg

Answer

It is allowed if the pilot holds an A2 certificate

Answer

It is permitted only during public festivals and events

Question 4

Which of the following is an example of an unsafe 'Macho' attitude in a remote pilot?

Accepted Answer

Taking unnecessary risks, such as flying too close to people or buildings, to impress bystanders or show off piloting skills

Answer

Following the pre-flight checklist meticulously

Answer

Canceling a flight because the wind exceeds the drone's limits

Answer

Asking a visual observer for help

Question 5

For long-term storage, a LiPo battery should be:

Accepted Answer

Kept at a storage voltage of approximately 40-60% capacity in a fireproof container

Answer

Fully charged to 100%

Answer

Fully discharged to 0%

Answer

Left plugged into the drone

Question 6

What happens if the Direct Remote ID system on your C2 drone fails before you take off?

Accepted Answer

You are not permitted to initiate the flight until the Remote ID system is repaired and functioning

Answer

You can fly normally but must keep the altitude below 50 metres

Answer

You must attach a piece of paper with your registration number to the drone

Answer

You can fly, but only if you notify the local police station

Question 7

If you are flying in a location with high magnetic interference (e.g., near an iron bridge), which flight mode is most likely to cause unpredictable, erratic movements?

Accepted Answer

GPS/Position mode (P-mode), because it relies heavily on the magnetometer (compass) to maintain heading and correct position drift

Answer

Manual mode (all stabilization off)

Answer

ATTI mode (Attitude mode, relying only on barometer and gyro)

Answer

Acrobatic mode

Question 8

When flying a drone, what is 'Latency' in the video feed?

Accepted Answer

The time delay between the camera capturing the image and the image appearing on the pilot's screen

Answer

The brightness of the screen

Answer

The resolution of the recorded video (e.g., 4K vs 1080p)

Answer

The physical angle of the camera gimbal

Question 9

Under what circumstance can you fly in the Specific category?

Accepted Answer

When the operation exceeds Open category limits (e.g., BVLOS or heavier drones) and an authorisation, STS, or LUC is approved

Answer

Only if you hold a commercial pilot's license for manned aircraft

Answer

Whenever you feel the Open category rules are too restrictive for your hobby

Answer

It is not a real category in Europe

Question 10

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
