Part 107 Chapter 7 Flashcards Welcome to your Part 107 Chapter 7 Flashcards 1. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What is the primary purpose of radio communication in sUAS operations near airports? To provide situational awareness and ensure safe integration with manned aircraft operations. 2. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What frequency is commonly used for Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) at non-towered airports? The CTAF is typically 122.9 MHz, but it can vary by airport. 3. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What does the term “UNICOM” refer to in radio communications? UNICOM is a non-government radio station that provides airport information like weather and runway conditions at non-towered airports. 4. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures How should a Remote PIC announce their position and intentions when operating near an airport? The Remote PIC should broadcast their position, altitude, and intentions on the appropriate CTAF or UNICOM frequency in a clear and concise manner. 5. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What is the correct phraseology to use when communicating with ATC or other aircraft? Use standard aviation phraseology such as “This is [call sign], currently [location], operating at [altitude], request [action].” 6. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What does the term “read back” mean in radio communications? A “read back” is when a pilot repeats a message back to confirm they understood the instruction correctly. 7. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures When is it appropriate for a Remote PIC to use a UNICOM frequency? When operating at a non-towered airport to communicate with other pilots and to gain information about airport conditions. 8. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What should a Remote PIC do if they are unsure of the airport communication frequency? Check sectional charts, the FAA website, or other approved sources to verify the correct frequency before flying near the airport. 9. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures What is the role of ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) in radio communications? ATIS provides continuous broadcast information about airport conditions such as weather, runway in use, and NOTAMs, which can be used for situational awareness. 10. Part 107 Chapter 7: Radio Communication Procedures When flying near a controlled airport, what must a Remote PIC do before entering controlled airspace? The Remote PIC must obtain ATC authorization to operate in controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, or E) via LAANC or other approved methods. 1 out of 10 Time is Up! Time's up
