NJ SURVEYORS CONFERENCE PART 107 Ground School TODAY S AGENDA Regulations National Airspace System Operations Weather Loading and Performance 1
REGULATIONS Remote Pilot Certifications and Privileges When a pilot certificate is issued, it will list the certification level. That level will define the privileges and limitations of the certificate holder. Remote Pilot Private Pilot REGULATIONS The issued pilot certificate will also include a category of aircraft: Airplane Glider Rotorcraft Small Unmanned Aircraft 2
107.9 ACCIDENT REPORTING. No later than 10 calendar days after an operation that meets the criteria of either paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, a remote pilot in command must report to the FAA, in a manner acceptable to the Administrator, any operation of the small unmanned aircraft involving at least: 107.9 ACCIDENT REPORTING. (a) Serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness; or (b) Damage to any property, other than the small unmanned aircraft, unless one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) The cost of repair (including materials and labor) does not exceed $500; or (2) The fair market value of the property does not exceed $500 in the event of total loss. 3
UAS RULES Line of sight Operating limitations not over 400 FT AGL speed under 100 MPH Right of way rules No operation over people Operation from moving vehicles or aircraft Boats and cars in sparsely populated areas Never from an airplane UAS RULES Privacy and other considerations Local laws Dropping objects from suas Change of Address 30 days to notify in writing or your certificate is invalid Alcohol and drugs: 8 Hours bottle to throttle.04 percent or greater Report conviction with in 60 days Using a drug that can affect the person s mental or physical capabilities 4

TOPOGRAPHY Latitude and Longitude Questions 1099 (Refer to Appendix A, Figure 21.) What airport is located approximately 47degrees 40 minutes N latitude and 101 degrees 26 minutes W longitude? A - Mercer County Regional B - Semshenko Airport C - Garrison Airport What airport is located approximately 47 degrees 40 minutes N latitude and 101 degrees 26 minutes W longitude? 9
A - Mercer County Regional B - Semshenko Airport C - Garrison Airport 47 30 AIRPORT OPERATIONS Traffic Patterns Most patterns are left traffic If the airport is Right Traffic, it will be on the chart and in the chart supplement book. 10
AIRPORT OPERATIONS AIRPORT OPERATIONS Traffic Patterns 1117 (Refer to Appendix A Figure 26 area 2.) While monitoring the Cooperstown CTAF, you hear an aircraft announce that they are midfield downwind to RWY 13. Where would the aircraft be relative to the runway? 11
While monitoring the Cooperstown CTAF, you hear an aircraft announce that they are midfield downwind to RWY 13. Where would the aircraft be relative to the runway? AIRPORT OPERATIONS A- The aircraft is East. B- The aircraft is South. C- The aircraft is West. 12
The answer is A - East. 13 AIRPORT MARKING AND SIGNS Marking and Signs A - Is a taxiway/runway hold sign B - Is runway approach hold position sign C - Is an ILS critical area hold position sign D - Is a no entry sign E - Is taxiway location sign 13
AIRPORT MARKING AND SIGNS Markings and Signs F - Is a runway location sign G - Is a runway safety area H - Is an ILS critical area boundary I - Is an inbound destination sign AIRPORT MARKING AND SIGNS Markings and Signs J - Is an outbound destination sign K - Is a taxiway direction sign L - Is a runway distance remaining if 1000 foot increments M - Is a runway/runway hold position sign N - Is a taxiway ending marker 14
COLLISION AVOIDANCE Must yield to manned aircraft Distance from towers equals 2000 feet 1131 Which technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic? A- Continuously scan the sky from right to left. B- Concentrate on relative movement detected in the peripheral vision area. C- Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. 15

WEATHER Wind The wind is different at 200 feet then on the ground. You are out of the friction layer at that height. 1140 While operating around buildings, the remote PIC should be aware of the creation of wind gust that: A- change rapidly in direction and speed causing turbulence. B- enhance stability and imagery. C- increase performance of the aircraft.

WEATHER Air Masses and Fronts Fronts Frontal passage will be indicated by the following discontinuities: A temperature change. A continuous decrease in pressure followed by an increase as the front passes. A shift in the wind direction, speed or both. WEATHER Air Masses Unstable Air Cumuliform clouds Showery precipitation Rough air (turbulence) Good visibility except in blowing obstructions 18
WEATHER Air Masses Stable Air Stratiform clouds and fog Continuous precipitation Smooth air Fair to poor visibility in haze and smoke WEATHER Air Masses 1149 What would decrease the stability of an air mass? A- Warming from below. B- Cooling from below. C- Decrease in water vapor. 19

Cannot be flown faster than a ground speed of 87 knots. (100 miles per hour) Cannot be flown higher the 400 feet AGL. 28
LOADING AND PERFORMANCE Loading Review any available manufacturer weight and balance data and follow all restrictions and limitations. Stalls Stalls can occur at any speed. They are caused by exceeding the angle of attack. (18 to 20 degrees on most airfoils) LOADING AND PERFORMANCE Performance The operating environment All available information regarding the usage and recommended operation of the suas Conditions that may impact the performance or controllability of the suas 29
