2.0 Operations Over People Part 107 Practice Quiz

• A. The sUAS must weigh 0.55 pounds or less, including everything onboard at the time of operation
• B. The sUAS must weigh less than 2 pounds total including all components and any attached payload
• C. The sUAS must weigh 1 pound or less when measured without any detachable payload attached
• D. The sUAS must weigh less than 55 pounds and have an FAA-accepted Declaration of Compliance

Under 14 CFR 107.115, a Category 1 operation is authorized when the sUAS weighs 0.55 pounds or less, including everything onboard at the time of the operation.

• A. Yes, if the remote pilot reduces airspeed to the minimum required for stable flight while passing over the festival crowd
• B. No, Category 3 operations may not be conducted over an open-air assembly of human beings under any circumstance
• C. Yes, provided each section of the crowd has a dedicated visual observer to monitor for hazards from below
• D. Yes, as long as the sUAS altitude remains at least 400 feet above the highest person in the assembly

Under 14 CFR 107.125, a Category 3 operation may not be conducted over an open-air assembly of human beings; this prohibition applies regardless of speed, altitude, or the presence of visual observers.

• A. The sUAS must be equipped with propeller guards that are FAA-certified to withstand full-throttle blade impact
• B. The sUAS must not contain any exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin upon contact with a person
• C. The sUAS must have an automatic landing function that activates if the command signal is lost during over-people flight
• D. The sUAS must have anti-collision lighting visible for 3 statute miles at the time of any over-people operation

Under 14 CFR 107.115, a Category 1 sUAS must not contain any exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin upon contact with a person; this is the second requirement alongside the 0.55-pound weight limit.

• A. Yes, because the operation takes place in a controlled or restricted-access site where all persons present are on notice that sUAS operations may occur
• B. Yes, but only if each worker signs a written liability waiver acknowledging the risks before the operation begins
• C. No, Category 3 operations over workers always require a certificate of waiver regardless of site access controls
• D. No, Category 3 may only be conducted in Class G airspace below 200 ft AGL regardless of site configuration

Under 14 CFR 107.125, a Category 3 operation may be conducted if the operation is within a controlled or restricted-access site where all human beings on the ground are on notice that sUAS operations may occur; a credentialed, briefed, fenced facility meets this criterion.

• A. No, Category 3 sUAS may only conduct sustained flight over moving vehicles within a controlled or restricted-access site where all persons are on notice of sUAS operations
• B. Yes, because moving vehicles provide a physical barrier between people and the sUAS, reducing injury risk below the Category 3 threshold
• C. Yes, provided the sUAS speed does not exceed the maximum speed of the trucks being followed during the operation
• D. No, but the pilot may obtain a certificate of waiver specifically for sustained flight over moving vehicles in residential areas

Under 14 CFR 107.145 and 107.125, Category 3 operations over moving vehicles require the flight to take place in a controlled or restricted-access site where all persons are on notice; an open public neighborhood does not qualify.

• A. A Part 107 certificate of waiver from the FAA specifically authorizing operations over non-participant human beings
• B. A letter of authorization from the local FSDO confirming Category 2 eligibility for the specific aircraft being flown
• C. A Declaration of Compliance indicating the sUAS satisfies the Category 2 injury severity and design standards
• D. An FAA-issued type certificate or supplemental type certificate for the sUAS being used in the over-people operation

Under 14 CFR 107.120, a Category 2 operation requires the remote PIC to have a Declaration of Compliance, documenting that the sUAS meets the FAA-accepted injury severity limit and design requirements, in their possession or readily accessible.

• A. Category 4 requires a Declaration of Compliance with a higher injury severity threshold than Category 3
• B. The sUAS must have an airworthiness certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 21
• C. Category 4 requires the remote pilot to hold a commercial remote pilot certificate with an over-people endorsement
• D. The sUAS must demonstrate at least 500 hours of accident-free flight testing before Category 4 certification

Under 14 CFR 107.130, a Category 4 operation requires the sUAS to have an airworthiness certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 21, such as a standard airworthiness certificate or a special airworthiness certificate.

• A. The sUAS must produce a noise level below 65 decibels at 25 feet, which correlates with reduced impact hazard to persons
• B. The sUAS must be rated by an independent safety laboratory as posing no more than a 1-in-1,000,000 risk of serious injury
• C. The sUAS must weigh less than 4 pounds and travel no faster than 45 knots during any over-people segment
• D. The sUAS must not exceed the FAA-accepted injury severity limit, which manufacturers demonstrate through a means of compliance accepted by the FAA and documented in a Declaration of Compliance

Under 14 CFR 107.120, a Category 2 sUAS must not exceed the FAA-accepted limit for injury severity; manufacturers demonstrate compliance through an FAA-accepted means of compliance and record this in a Declaration of Compliance submitted to the FAA.
