FAA Part 107 Drone Practice Test

Where can you find information regarding parachute operations near an airport?

1. Chart Supplements/Airport Facilities Directory

2. Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge

3. Local county website

4. FAA website

The correct answer is: Chart Supplements/Airport Facilities Directory

The Chart Supplements, also known as the Airport/Facilities Directory (A/FD), is the primary source for information regarding airports and their associated facilities, including important operational details specific to parachute operations near those airports. These supplements provide data on parachute and skydiving drop zones, ensuring that drone operators are aware of any potential hazards when flying in proximity to airports. This information is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulations, as it helps drone operators plan their flights and avoid areas where parachute operations are occurring. The supplements are regularly updated and contain vital information, such as operational schedules, contact information for drop zones, and any other pertinent alerts that pertain to parachute activities at or near an airport. While the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge covers various aviation topics, it does not provide specific site-related information. Local county websites may contain some information, but they are not a standardized source for aviation-related operations. The FAA website offers a wealth of information but may not always have the detailed, localized data that is found in the Chart Supplements.
