Review professional drone operations, weather interpretation, risk management, mission planning, and crew coordination. The questions help people building or checking UAS knowledge consider operational decisions across routine and complex flight scenarios. Administered by AUVSI. Key domains include Advanced Weather Analysis, Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM), Airspace Classification & Operations and Crew Resource Management (CRM).
Sample Questions
Choose an answer and explore the explanation to see how practice works.
During a long mapping day, a strong cold front passes and pressure rises quickly. The aircraft uses barometric altitude for some hold functions. Which response best demonstrates the AUVSI Trusted Operator Program expectation for pressure changes?
Logs show repeated compass errors on one aircraft over three sites, but each error cleared after restart. Which response best demonstrates the AUVSI Trusted Operator Program expectation for maintenance log anomaly?
A property manager tells the pilot to launch, while the safety officer says workers have not cleared the roof. Which response best demonstrates the AUVSI Trusted Operator Program expectation for command ambiguity?
A construction firm wants imagery of a crane site inside the lateral limits of Class D airspace with a 150-foot LAANC grid value. The planned flight is 175 feet AGL and the airport manager verbally says traffic is light. Which response best demonstrates the AUVSI Trusted Operator Program expectation for controlled airspace authorization?
A grid mission estimates 21 minutes per flight on batteries that typically trigger low-battery RTH at 24 minutes in calm air. Forecast winds are 14 knots with gusts. Which response best demonstrates the AUVSI Trusted Operator Program expectation for battery reserve planning?
