A free preview of real exam-style questions for this topic — each with the correct answer, an explanation, and the official source it is based on.
01Within how many hours must a near-miss with a manned aircraft be reported?
- 72 hours. — Correct answer
- 24 hours.
- 30 days.
- 7 days.
Under Reg (EU) 376/2014 a mandatory report must be filed within 72 hours for events involving serious injury or near-miss/collision with a manned aircraft.
02Where in Latvia is a UAS occurrence report submitted?
- Datu valsts inspekcija.
- e.caa.gov.lv/incidents. — Correct answer
- 112 (emergency services).
- aviationreporting.eu.
Occurrence reports are filed at the CAA Latvia portal `e.caa.gov.lv/incidents`. EU-wide ECCAIRS reporting goes via `aviationreporting.eu`.
CAA Latvia — e.caa.gov.lv/incidents↗; Reg (EU) 376/201403What is the main benefit of "just culture" in occurrence reporting?
- Reports are published under the reporter's full name.
- The reporter receives a financial reward.
- It protects the reporter from criminal consequences absent deliberate misconduct. — Correct answer
- Complete immunity from every kind of liability.
The "just culture" principle in Reg 376/2014 promotes open reporting — the reporter is not prosecuted unless the event resulted from deliberate misconduct.
04What does GPS spoofing mean in the context of a UAS attack?
- Complete suppression of the GPS signal until the drone loses its position.
- Battery overheating.
- Updating firmware.
- Broadcasting fake GPS signals to redirect the drone to a different location. — Correct answer
GPS spoofing feeds the UAS GPS receiver false position signals. This is distinct from jamming, which suppresses the signal entirely.
05Which of the following is good UAS cyber security practice?
- Change the factory password and update firmware officially. — Correct answer
- Connect the drone to an unknown Wi-Fi network.
- Download firmware from a forum.
- Disable 2FA to speed up access to the controller.
Changing the factory password and using official firmware updates is basic hygiene. Forum firmware and unknown networks are attack vectors.
06Mid-flight, the map display goes grey and the satellite count drops to zero. The drone activates RTH. What cyber threat is most likely?
- GNSS spoofing — fake position signals redirect the UAS.
- GNSS jamming — RF noise suppresses the GPS signal band, causing signal loss. — Correct answer
- Firmware hack — the drone software has been corrupted.
- Wi-Fi attack — the controller has been disconnected.
A grey map and satellite count dropping to zero are signatures of GNSS jamming — the signal is fully suppressed. Spoofing, by contrast, shows a false position (not signal loss) — the map shows a location, but it is wrong. RTH activating without GPS is the drone's designed response to position loss.
