FAA Part 107 Drone Practice Test

What does the chart indicating "VR1667, VR1617, VR1638, and VR1668" signify?

1. It’s a designated safe airspace

2. It’s a Military Training Route from 1,500 feet AGL

3. It’s a normal flight path for drones

4. It shows commercial air traffic control zones

The correct answer is: It’s a Military Training Route from 1,500 feet AGL

The reference to "VR1667, VR1617, VR1638, and VR1668" pertains specifically to Military Training Routes (MTRs). These routes are designated for the use of military aircraft, allowing for training exercises that may involve high-speed maneuvers and low-altitude operations. The "VR" designation indicates that these routes are visual routes intended for use by military pilots and can be utilized at altitudes below 1,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). Understanding this is vital for drone operators, as flying in or near these routes during active military training can pose safety risks and lead to potential airspace violations. Awareness of the proper use of MTRs is essential for maintaining safety and compliance with FAA regulations. The other options do not accurately describe the significance of the routes in question. These routes are not designated safe airspace, nor do they reflect normal flight paths for civilian drone activity or denote commercial air traffic control zones. Hence, recognizing that "VR" signifies Military Training Routes is critical for safe drone operation.
