Operations Quiz 3 Flashcards
1
Q
- When a stressful situation is encountered in flight, an abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed in and out can cause a condition known as
- Aerotitis
- Hyperventilation
- Areosinusitis
A
Hyperventilation
2
Q
- When preparing for a night flight, what should a small unmanned aircraft polit be aware of after assembling and conducting a preflight of an aircraft while using a bright flashlight or work light?
- The person should use a flashlight equipped with LED lights to facilitate their night vision.
- It takes approximately 30 minutes for a person’s eyes to fully adapt to darkness
- Once adapted to darkness, a persons eyes are relatively immune to bright light
A
It takes approximately 30 minutes for a person’s eyes to fully adapt to darkness

Q
- When should the battery for an unmanned aircraft be replaced?
- Per the guidance of the sUAS manufacturer or the battery manufacturer whichever is least restrictive
- Per the guidelines of the sUAS manufacturer or the battery manufacturer, whichever is more restrictive
- Once recharged more than 10 times in the preceding 30 days
A
Per the guidelines of the sUAS manufacturer or the battery manufacturer, whichever is more restrictive
4
Q
- The responsibility for ensuring that an sUAS is maintained in an airworthy condition is primarily that of the
- mechanic who performs the work
- remote pilot-in-command
- owner or operator
A
remote pilot-in-command
5
Q
- As a pilot, flying for long periods in hot summer temperatures increases the susceptibility of dehydration since the
- Dry air at altitude tends to increase the rate of water loss from the body
- Temperature decreases with altitude
- Moist air at altitude helps retain the body’s moisture
A
Dry air at altitude tends to increase the rate of water loss from the body
6
Q
- You are a remote pilot in command for a co-op energy service provider. You plan to use your unmanned aircraft to inspect power lines in the remote area 15 hours away from your home office. After the drive, fatigue impacts your abilities to complete your assignment on time. What kind of fatigue is this?
- Exhaustion
- Chronic fatigue
- Acute fatigue
A
Acute fatigue
7
Q
- Which will almost always affect your ability to fly?
- Prescription analgesics and antihistamines
- Antibiotics and anesthetic drugs
- Over the counter analgesics and antihistamines
A
Prescription analgesics and antihistamines
8
Q
- Fatigue is one of the most treacherous hazards to flight safety
- as it may be a function of physical robustness or mental activity
- because it results in slow performance
- as it may not be apparent until serious errors are made
A
as it may not be apparent until serious errors are made
9
Q
- When setting up the location of the control station and placement of crewmembers for a flight over snowy terrain, which of the following would be most appropriate for ensuring that vision is not impaired by the environment?
- The operation should be best setup so that the crew members face the directions in which the terrain most closely matches the color of unmanned aircraft
- The operation should be set up so that the remote PIC and crew members will face
minimum glare from the snow - The operation should be set up so that the crew members are most comfortable
A
The operation should be set up so that the remote PIC and crew members will face minimum glare from the snow
10
Q
- Under what condition should the operator of a small unmanned aircraft establish a scheduled maintenance protocol?
- When the FAA requires you to, following an accident
- When the manufacturer does not provide a maintenance schedule
- Small unmanned aircraft systems do not require maintenance
A
When the manufacturer does not provide a maintenance schedule
11
Q
- What action should the operator of an sUAS take if the manufacturer does not provide information about scheduled maintenance?
- The operator should contact the NTSB for component failure rates for their specific sUAS
- The operator should contact the FAA for a minimum equipment list
- The operator should establish a scheduled maintenance protocol
A
The operator should establish a scheduled maintenance protocol
12
Q
- Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight even though he or she holds a durrent medical certificate
- The medical examiner
- The Pilot
- the FAA
A
The Pilot
13
Q
- Scheduled maintenance should be performed in accordance with the
- Contractor requirements
- Manufacture’s suggested procedures
- Stipulation in 14 CFR Part 43
A
Manufacture’s suggested procedures
14
Q
- Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?
- The excessive consumption of alcohol
- Emotional tension, anxiety or fear
- An extremely slow rate of breaking and insufficient oxygen
A
Emotional tension, anxiety or fear
15
Q
- When setting up the location of the control station and placement of crew members for an afternoon flight, which of the following would be most appropriate for ensuring that vision is not impaired by the environment?
- The operation should be set up so that the remote PIC and crew members can face east
- The operation should be set up so that the Remote PIC and crew members are facing any reflective objects in the area
-The operations should be setup so that the remote PIC and crew members can face west
A
The operation should be set up so that the remote PIC and crew members can face east
