Read any sectional chart on the new Part 107 test.

Answer: C. Solid blue lines are Class B. Sector altitudes are MSL with the last two zeros omitted, so '100 over 30' is a ceiling of 10,000 ft MSL and a floor of 3,000 ft MSL. At 200 ft AGL near sea level you are below that floor, so you are not in Class B. The shelf tells you nothing about the airspace beneath it: that is whatever else is charted at your site. Often it's Class G up to a Class E floor at 700 ft AGL (magenta vignette) or 1,200 ft AGL, which needs no ATC authorization. But it can also be Class C (solid magenta), Class D (dashed blue), or a Class E surface area (dashed magenta), and §107.41 requires prior ATC authorization (e.g., via LAANC or FAADroneZone) for all of those.

Answer: A. Dashed blue = Class D. The number in a dashed box is the Class D ceiling in hundreds of feet MSL (29 = up to and including 2,900 ft MSL; a minus sign, as in -29, would mean up to but not including 2,900). Class D starts at the surface, so any Part 107 flight inside needs prior ATC authorization under §107.41, typically via LAANC. A note such as 'See NOTAMs/Supplement for Class D eff hrs' means the Class D is part-time.

Answer: D. A magenta vignette marks the edge of Class E airspace with a floor of 700 ft AGL. The faded side of the band faces the 700 ft area; the sharp edge is the boundary, and beyond it the Class E floor is usually 1,200 ft AGL. Below the Class E floor is Class G, so at 400 ft AGL or lower you need no ATC authorization (all other Part 107 rules still apply). A blue vignette marks a Class E floor other than 700 ft AGL (typically 1,200 ft AGL) that abuts Class G.

Answer: B. The Maximum Elevation Figure is shown in thousands (large digit) and hundreds (small digit) of feet MSL: 3⁵ = 3,500 ft MSL. It covers one quadrangle, the area between the ticked lines every 30 minutes of latitude and longitude. To set it, the FAA takes the highest feature there. If that's a man-made obstacle more than 200 ft above the highest terrain, it adds 100 ft for possible vertical error (or half the contour interval, if that's more than 200 ft). If it's terrain or a natural obstacle such as a tree, it adds that error allowance plus 200 ft for uncharted obstacles. The total is rounded up to the next 100 ft. MEFs aren't verified by field surveys.

Answer: C. On sectional charts the top number is the elevation of the obstacle's top in feet MSL (1,549). The number in parentheses below it is the structure's height above ground (1,123 ft AGL). The short rays drawn at the top mark high-intensity strobe lighting, which may run part-time or by proximity activation. (On a real sectional, an obstacle 1,000 ft AGL or taller uses a larger symbol than this simplified one.) Under §107.51(b), you may fly higher than 400 ft AGL only within a 400 ft radius of a structure, and no more than 400 ft above its immediate uppermost limit.

Answer: D. Prohibited (P-), restricted (R-), and warning (W-) areas share a blue hatched border. Alert areas (A-) and MOAs share a magenta hatched border. Restricted areas contain unusual, often invisible hazards such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or guided missiles. §107.45 bars small UA from prohibited or restricted areas without permission from the using or controlling agency. Permanent SUA is charted with its hours of operation, altitudes, and controlling agency, listed in the chart's SUA table in the margin. Check that table and NOTAMs for status. Temporary restricted areas and temporary MOAs are not charted. MOAs aren't regulatory airspace, so you can fly there, but use extreme caution when military activity is under way.

Answer: A. A TFR is issued as an FDC NOTAM giving its location, effective times, area, and altitudes. Sectionals can't tell you whether one is in effect. Some sectionals mark sporting-event TFR sites (stadiums) and national-security or national-defense TFR areas, but most TFRs, such as wildfire TFRs, aren't charted at all. Under §107.47 you must comply with §§91.137–91.145 and 99.7, so check NOTAMs before every flight.

Answer: B. Cloud heights in a METAR are in hundreds of feet AGL, and the ceiling is the lowest broken or overcast layer, so OVC008 is an 800 ft AGL ceiling. Visibility is 3 SM in mist (BR), which meets the §107.51(c) minimum of 3 statute miles (that rule is about flight visibility at your control station). §107.51(d) requires at least 500 ft below clouds, so 800 − 500 = 300 ft AGL. Wind is from 240° true at 15 knots, gusting to 25.

Answer: D. Per AC 00-45H, TEMPO forecasts temporary fluctuations that are expected to (1) have a high (greater than 50 percent) probability of occurring, (2) last one hour or less in each instance, and (3) in aggregate, cover less than half of the stated period. 1920/1922 = from the 19th at 2000Z to the 19th at 2200Z. 2SM TSRA = visibility 2 statute miles in a thunderstorm with (moderate) rain. That would be below Part 107's 3 SM flight-visibility minimum.

Answer: C. §107.51: max groundspeed 87 knots (100 mph). Max altitude 400 ft AGL, unless flown within a 400 ft radius of a structure and no higher than 400 ft above its top. Min flight visibility 3 SM from the control station. Stay at least 500 ft below and 2,000 ft horizontally from clouds. These limits apply in every airspace class unless waived.
