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

Question 1

During an A2 operation, the presence of obstacles on the ground can be useful when it:

Accepted Answer

helps to naturally keep people separated from the intended flight path

Answer

forces the UAS to fly with no safety margin

Answer

completely hides the UAS from the remote pilot

Answer

removes the need to keep uninvolved persons under observation

Question 2

The final check before arming the motors must confirm that:

Accepted Answer

The immediate area around the UAS is clear and that persons are keeping their distance

Answer

The video recording is set to public

Answer

The maximum height is set above 120 m

Answer

The mission is started without an airspace observer

Question 3

The low-speed mode of a class C2 UAS is useful because it:

Accepted Answer

reduces the maximum horizontal speed, and therefore the potential energy of an impact.

Answer

automatically increases the maximum take-off mass (MTOM).

Answer

allows flight beyond visual line of sight without an observer.

Answer

replaces the registration of the operator.

Question 4

If the density of people increases during the mission, what is the correct decision?

Accepted Answer

Reassess the ground risk and, if necessary, adapt or terminate the flight

Answer

Continue the mission, since the original assessment always remains valid

Answer

Reduce the safety distance only, to save time

Answer

Fly faster to finish before the crowd arrives

Question 5

In the event of a motor failure, the remote pilot reduces the ground risk by:

Accepted Answer

avoiding routing the flight path over people or heavily used traffic routes

Answer

routinely flying over queues of people

Answer

disabling all of the software safety functions

Answer

choosing a height with no relation to the surrounding environment

Question 6

An area with nearby cables, branches or masts requires:

Accepted Answer

a flight path with additional lateral and vertical safety distances

Answer

an automatic increase in speed

Answer

flight without direct visual line of sight

Answer

deliberately overflying people to avoid the obstacles

Question 7

In the 'open' subcategory A2 with a class C2 UAS, the standard minimum horizontal distance to uninvolved persons is:

Accepted Answer

30 m.

Answer

5 m in all cases.

Answer

10 m, with no further condition.

Answer

150 m, as in A3.

Question 8

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 9

An operation near a school, a market or a public event must be:

Accepted Answer

Strictly controlled or postponed if the safety distances and exposure cannot be managed

Answer

Treated the same as an empty area

Answer

Carried out only in sport mode

Answer

Carried out without informing anyone beforehand

Question 10

Propeller guards can reduce certain risks, but they must not be regarded as:

Accepted Answer

an authorisation to make deliberate contact with people

Answer

a mechanical aid that may be available depending on the UAS

Answer

an item to be checked before flight whenever they are fitted

Answer

a means of limiting certain minor injuries
