Flight performance and planning - EASA Drone License A2

Question 1

In the event of a critical control link loss, what failsafe action is highly recommended and often automated?

Accepted Answer

Return to Home (RTH) or an immediate controlled landing/hover

Answer

Turning off the motors mid-air to prevent fly-aways

Answer

Switching to an emergency 5G cellular network

Answer

Increasing altitude to 120 m and drifting with the wind

Question 2

What happens if you fly a multirotor drone into a very low-pressure environment (e.g., high mountain altitude)?

Accepted Answer

The air is less dense, so the propellers must spin faster to generate the same amount of lift, resulting in reduced thrust capability and shorter battery life

Answer

The drone will fly significantly faster

Answer

The battery life will double

Answer

The drone's compass will reverse its polarity

Question 3

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 4

Before taking off, how should a remote pilot check for active UAS geographical zones (geozones)?

Accepted Answer

By consulting the official aeronautical charts or the national digital geozone map provided by the local Civil Aviation Authority

Answer

By flying the drone up to 120 m to see if a warning appears on the screen

Answer

By asking bystanders if they have seen other drones flying in the area

Answer

By solely relying on the drone's internal generic map, which never needs updating

Question 5

Why do EASA regulations distinguish between day and night operations?

Accepted Answer

Because human vision is degraded at night, making it harder to maintain VLOS, judge distances, and spot obstacles or other aircraft, necessitating the use of specific lights

Answer

Because drones consume more battery power at night

Answer

Because GPS satellites do not work at night

Answer

Because the drone's camera cannot record in the dark

Question 6

What is the main regulatory advantage of a UAS classified as a 'toy' according to Directive 2009/48/EC, even if it is equipped with a camera?

Accepted Answer

The operator is not required to register on the national portal, unlike standard UAS equipped with personal data sensors

Answer

It can fly above 120 metres in altitude

Answer

It has no limitations regarding flying over assemblies of people

Answer

It is exempt from following geographical zones (UAS geographical zones)

Question 7

If your drone operation causes a serious injury to a person, you are legally required to:

Accepted Answer

Immediately report the incident to the relevant national aviation safety authority and emergency services

Answer

Delete all flight logs

Answer

Offer them financial compensation directly

Answer

Confiscate their mobile phone if they recorded it

Question 8

Which of the following describes an 'involved person'?

Accepted Answer

A person who is aware of the drone operation's instructions and safety precautions, and has explicitly consented to participate

Answer

A person watching the drone from their balcony

Answer

Any person walking through a public park where you are flying

Answer

A driver in a moving vehicle near the flight area

Question 9

Are binoculars permitted to extend the visual line of sight (VLOS) during a drone flight?

Accepted Answer

No, VLOS must be maintained unaided (except for corrective lenses/glasses)

Answer

Yes, provided they have a magnification of 10x or less

Answer

Yes, but only for the Visual Observer

Answer

Only if flying in the Specific category

Question 10

What does 'mAh' stand for on a drone's Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery?

Accepted Answer

Milliampere-hour, which indicates the battery's energy storage capacity

Answer

Maximum Aerodynamic Hover

Answer

Motor Ampere Hertz, defining the motor rotation speed

Answer

Minimum Altitude Height
