Technical and operational mitigations for ground risk - EASA Drone License A2

Question 1

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 2

Using a zoom or a tighter framing can be a mitigation measure because it:

Accepted Answer

allows the remote pilot to stay farther from people while still capturing the desired shot

Answer

removes the 120 m height limit

Answer

allows the flight to be conducted without keeping the aircraft in direct sight

Answer

replaces the low-speed mode

Question 3

To limit the ground risk, it is sound practice to:

Accepted Answer

plan a flight path that avoids areas occupied by uninvolved persons

Answer

fly as close to people as possible to keep them in sight

Answer

fly over roads in order to have a clear corridor available

Answer

use only the FPV camera with no observer

Question 4

The emergency motor cut-off should only be used when:

Accepted Answer

it reduces the overall risk compared with continuing the flight

Answer

the video image is not stable enough

Answer

the remote pilot wants to save battery

Answer

the UAS is positioned over an assembly of people

Question 5

Flying close to a building facade requires particular attention because:

Accepted Answer

turbulence and obstacles can cause an unexpected, uncommanded flight path

Answer

the building always protects every person on the ground

Answer

the GNSS reception always becomes flawless

Answer

the 30 m horizontal distance no longer applies

Question 6

When anticipating a possible loss of the UAS, the remote pilot must take into account:

Accepted Answer

the height, the speed, the wind and the likely impact area

Answer

only the focal length of the camera

Answer

the colour of the airframe

Answer

the number of photos already taken

Question 7

In the A2 'open' subcategory, flying over a built-up area is acceptable only if:

Accepted Answer

the safety distances from uninvolved persons and the local restrictions are still respected

Answer

the drone records in high resolution

Answer

the operation lasts less than five minutes

Answer

the UAS is launched by hand

Question 8

Checking the published UAS geographical zones before flight allows the remote pilot to:

Accepted Answer

identify restrictions that may impose stricter conditions

Answer

replace the assessment of people on the ground

Answer

raise the European 120 m height limit

Answer

remove the requirement to register as an operator

Question 9

Using a ground observer is useful when:

Accepted Answer

it helps monitor access points or blind spots without taking over the remote pilot's role

Answer

it allows flying without holding the A2 certificate of competency

Answer

it permits flying behind a building, out of sight

Answer

it removes the applicable airspace restrictions

Question 10

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
