Operation quiz

FSS is an air traffic facility that provides pilot briefings, enroute communications, and VFR search-and-rescue services, assists lost aircraft and aircraft in emergency situations, relays ATC clearances, originates Notices to Air Missions, broadcasts aviation weather and NAS information, receives and processes IFR flight plans, and monitors NAVAIDs. In addition, FSS takes weather observations, issues airport advisories, advises customs and immigration of transborder flights, and provides En Route Flight Advisory Service (Flight Watch) (in Alaska only).

The preferred source of information is the manufacturer's guidance about maintenance schedule and instructions.

Most sUAS are designed to fly normally with minimal impact on features or controllability if GPS signals are degraded or lost. Loss of GPS is not an emergency and is not considered to be a loss of link between the unmanned aircraft and the control station. If the failure of GPS does result in a flyaway or other dangerous situation, it should be treated as an emergency.

Risk management is the part of the decision making process that relies on situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment to reduce the risks associated with each flight.Answer (A) is incorrect because CRM and SMS will incorporate risk management as part of their process. Answer (B) is incorrect because CRM and SMS will incorporate risk management as part of their process.

Remote PICs should monitor the appropriate aviation frequency such as CTAF during flight operations and make announcements concerning sUAS operations as appropriate. Some sUAS require the use of cellphone or tablet computers for operation, therefore are acceptable for use in most cases. The best way to avoid frequency interference is to check local frequency spectrum use prior to flight and continue to monitor such use during flight by utilizing a frequency spectrum analyzer.
