Correct answer: A. No. The small-unmanned-aircraft weight limit includes everything onboard or attached at takeoff, making the aircraft 56 pounds.

Part 107 defines a small unmanned aircraft as weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything onboard or otherwise attached. The 53-pound aircraft plus the 3-pound camera weighs 56 pounds at takeoff, so this operation is outside ordinary Part 107 eligibility.

• B: The payload is included in takeoff weight; empty weight alone is not the regulatory measure.
• C: A planned in-flight release does not change the aircraft's weight at takeoff and may create a separate dropping-object hazard.
• D: The Part 107 threshold is less than 55 pounds, not 25 pounds.

Correct answer: B. The holder may face suspension or revocation of a certificate, rating, waiver, or authorization issued under Part 107.

Section 107.5 prohibits fraudulent or intentionally false statements and fraudulent alteration, reproduction, or use of specified records and documents. Committing a prohibited act is a basis for suspending or revoking a certificate, rating, waiver, or authorization issued under Part 107.

• A: Part 107 expressly provides certificate-related consequences; the rule is not limited to a monetary penalty.
• C: The absence of an accident does not make an intentionally falsified required record valid.
• D: Later replacement does not erase the completed act of intentional falsification.

Correct answer: C. Report the operation to the FAA within 10 days because the qualifying property damage exceeds $500.

Section 107.9 requires a report to the FAA within 10 days when an operation causes property damage, other than to the small UAS, whose repair or fair-market replacement cost exceeds $500. The stated $650 vehicle damage crosses that threshold even though no injury occurred.

• A: The reporting duty is regulatory and does not depend on a request from the property owner.
• B: Property damage is reportable when the section 107.9 monetary threshold is exceeded.
• D: The tested Part 107 duty is a report to the FAA within 10 days; the facts do not establish a separate immediate NTSB-reporting rule.

Correct answer: D. Make the required remote-pilot certificate, identification, and aircraft records available upon request.

Section 107.7 requires the remote PIC, owner, or person manipulating the controls to make specified certificates, identification, records, documents, and reports available to the Administrator upon request. The rule also requires allowing inspection or testing to determine compliance when requested.

• A: The rule requires availability upon request rather than creating a general 30-day mailing period.
• B: An authorized FAA request under section 107.7 is sufficient; the rule does not condition compliance on a subpoena.
• C: A manufacturer manual does not substitute for the certificates, identification, records, and documents the regulation requires.

Correct answer: A. The remote pilot in command, who must ensure the operation complies with applicable regulations.

Under section 107.19, the remote PIC is directly responsible for and is the final authority as to operation of the small UAS. The remote PIC must ensure the operation poses no undue hazard and complies with applicable regulations, regardless of commercial pressure from a client.

• B: A client's business interest does not transfer regulatory command authority from the remote PIC.
• C: A visual observer supports situational awareness but does not replace the remote PIC's final authority.
• D: Manufacturer limitations inform safe operation, but the manufacturer does not command a particular flight.
