Conditions and concepts
The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty. Emergency planning includes aircraft-specific lost-link behavior, containment, obstacles and safe recovery rather than assuming one automatic mode is safe everywhere. A qualifying Part 107accident must be reported to FAA within 10 calendar days; serious injury/loss of consciousness or damage to other property over $500 under the specified repair/replacement test can trigger reporting. The FAA accident-reporting period for a qualifying event is 10 calendar days, not10business days. Other agencies may have separate requirements.
Worked decisions
An unexpected aircraft conflict creates an immediate hazard. What should the remote PIC prioritize? The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty. The supported result is Avoid the collision and safely manage the emergency. A return-to-home altitude would intersect a known obstacle. What should be addressed before launch? Emergency planning includes aircraft-specific lost-link behavior, containment, obstacles and safe recovery rather than assuming one automatic mode is safe everywhere. The supported result is The aircraft's contingency configuration and route. A small UAS accident causes a person to lose consciousness. Which FAA accident-reporting condition is present? A qualifying Part 107accident must be reported to FAA within 10 calendar days; serious injury/loss of consciousness or damage to other property over $500 under the specified repair/replacement test can trigger reporting. The supported result is A qualifying injury condition. A qualifying event occurs and the pilot counts only weekdays toward the FAA10-day period. What is the timing error? The FAA accident-reporting period for a qualifying event is 10 calendar days, not10business days. Other agencies may have separate requirements. The supported result is The rule uses calendar days.
A change that matters
An in-flight emergency requires a deviation to the extent necessary for safety. What boundary applies? The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty. Here choose The deviation is limited to what the emergency requires. A crew does not know what the aircraft does after control-link loss. What remains unresolved? Emergency planning includes aircraft-specific lost-link behavior, containment, obstacles and safe recovery rather than assuming one automatic mode is safe everywhere. Here choose The applicable lost-link and emergency procedure. An accident damages other property costing$650to repair and$800to replace, with no injury. Which property comparison applies? A qualifying Part 107accident must be reported to FAA within 10 calendar days; serious injury/loss of consciousness or damage to other property over $500 under the specified repair/replacement test can trigger reporting. Here choose The lower cost is$650, over$500. A qualifying accident is reported to the customer but not FAA. What distinction remains? The FAA accident-reporting period for a qualifying event is 10 calendar days, not10business days. Other agencies may have separate requirements. Here choose Customer notification does not itself fulfill FAA reporting.
Transfer check and reasoning
Other-property repair cost is 700dollars and replacement cost is 400dollars, with no qualifying injury. Which cost is compared with the 500-dollar property trigger? The lower qualifying cost is 400dollars, which does not exceed500. This addresses only that stated property condition; other reporting duties need separate checks.
An unexpected aircraft conflict creates an immediate hazard. What should the remote PIC prioritize?
- The relevant case condition is: An unexpected aircraft conflict creates an immediate hazard.
- The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty.
- Therefore choose “Avoid the collision and safely manage the emergency”. The alternatives must be tested against that same stated condition; an unrelated document, unit or approval cannot supply a missing requirement.
Compare the other answer choices
The proposed choice “Finish the camera pass before reacting” does not follow from the given conditions. The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty.
The proposed choice “Use the planned route even if it increases conflict” does not follow from the given conditions. The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty.
The proposed choice “Treat the original launch approval as priority over traffic” does not follow from the given conditions. The remote PIC must manage hazards and may deviate from a rule to the extent necessary to address an in-flight emergency; any requested written report is a separate duty.
