UAS Traffic Management Quiz

What are some of the new uses for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) mentioned in the text?

• Public safety, rescue missions, package delivery, and journalism

• Agriculture, photography, public safety, and rescue missions

• Package delivery, journalism, media, and agriculture

• Package delivery, agriculture, photography, and public safety

What is the role and importance of UAS traffic management (UTM) according to the text?

• It is increasingly apparent in handling requests for information from the FAA

• It is increasingly apparent in public safety and rescue missions

• It is increasingly apparent in agriculture and photography operations

• It is increasingly apparent in deconflicting UAS operations in high density airspace

What is the purpose of the pilot program conducted by the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership?

• To conduct multi-drone search and rescue missions for missing and stranded residents

• To test a number of emerging UTM capabilities for beyond visual line of sight operations

• To monitor the river for flooding and gather footage of the storm's impact on local waterways

• To inspect fields for flood damage and capture video footage of the storm's aftermath

What is the main challenge in a high density UAS environment according to the text?

• Avoiding overlapping volumes between different operators

• Ensuring safe operations for very short flights within visual line of sight

• Maintaining altitude in high density airspace

• Maintaining distance from other drones

What is the purpose of the UAS Service Supplier (USS) software mentioned in the text?

• To connect the drone and its telemetry stream to the ground control station

• To enable beyond visual line of sight activity for long distance flights

• To monitor the river for flooding and gather footage of the storm's impact on local waterways

• To file flight plans and handle requests for information from the FAA

What is the intended purpose of the UTM system according to the text?

• To monitor the river for flooding and gather footage of the storm's impact on local waterways

• To enable short flights within visual line of sight of the pilot

• To enable deconfliction for long distance beyond visual line of sight flights

• To conduct multi-drone search and rescue missions for missing and stranded residents

What is the significance of strategic deconfliction in a high density UAS environment?

• It notifies operators of overlapping volumes and potential conflicts in the airspace

• It allows pilots to share their operational intent with each other using USS before taking flight

• It enables long distance beyond visual line of sight activity for drones

• It ensures that drones are operating safely and maintaining distance from each other
