Every run is simulated training. Preview runs end with a practice result that is not tracked. Advisory, not regulatory. Only the FAA can create a legal no-fly zone.

Scenario 6

Degraded operations — bearer loss mid-incident, local sensing continues

Mode
Airspace safety (Mode A)
Duration
50 s

Your task

  • Do not TRANSMIT on the cooperative traffic, and do not read their feeds falling quiet as the airspace being clear. Each one you TRANSMIT on costs a penalty.
  • Pick out the ground-sensed non-cooperative intruder, INTRUDER_01, that remains visible through the degradation, and TRANSMIT on it.
  • TRANSMIT on the ground-sensed intruder, INTRUDER_01, before loss of well-clear with DFR_01, despite the degraded distribution.

Pass mark: 70 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 1

Cooperative intruder — DFR vs delivery drone, well-clear advisory

Mode
Airspace safety (Mode A)
Duration
46 s

Your task

  • Do not TRANSMIT on MEDEVAC_02 or CROP_DUSTER_01 (legitimate background traffic). Each one you TRANSMIT on costs a penalty.
  • Pick out the intruding delivery drone, DELIVERY_01, and TRANSMIT on it.
  • TRANSMIT on DELIVERY_01 before loss of well-clear with DFR_01.

Pass mark: 70 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 3

Mixed-traffic discrimination — one hostile among five simultaneous tracks

Mode
Airspace safety (Mode A)
Duration
50 s

Your task

  • Do not TRANSMIT on the police aircraft, the recreational aircraft outside the area, or the two non-cooperative unknowns. Treating every unknown as a threat is the failure mode, and each one you TRANSMIT on costs a penalty.
  • Pick out the injected hostile track, HOSTILE_01, and TRANSMIT on it.
  • TRANSMIT on HOSTILE_01 before loss of well-clear with DFR_01.

Pass mark: 70 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 5

Multi-agency incident — brush-fire congestion, uninvited camera drone

Mode
Airspace safety (Mode A)
Duration
55 s

Your task

  • Do not TRANSMIT on the coordinated responders (public-safety, delivery, and the two firefighting rotorcraft). Each one you TRANSMIT on costs a penalty.
  • Pick out the uninvited commercial camera drone, CAMERA_01, and TRANSMIT on it.
  • TRANSMIT on the uninvited camera drone, CAMERA_01, before loss of well-clear with DFR_01.

Pass mark: 70 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 2

DFR transit — corridor transit past non-cooperative traffic

Mode
Airspace safety (Mode A)
Duration
60 s

Your task

  • Do not TRANSMIT on MEDEVAC_02 (cooperative background traffic). TRANSMITting on it costs a penalty.
  • Pick out the crop duster crossing your transit, CROP_DUSTER_01, and TRANSMIT on it.
  • TRANSMIT on CROP_DUSTER_01 before loss of well-clear with DFR_01 during transit.

Pass mark: 70 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 4

Coordinated intrusion — defend a fixed site, one aircraft of interest under load

Mode
Multi-domain security (Mode B)
Duration
60 s

Your task

  • Defend, do not yield: TRANSMIT on every element of the coordinated intrusion, including the aircraft of interest, AOI_01.
  • Do not TRANSMIT on the co-mingled legitimate cooperative traffic. Each one you TRANSMIT on costs a penalty.
  • TRANSMIT on INTRUDER_01 before loss of well-clear with DEFENDER_01.
  • TRANSMIT on INTRUDER_02 before loss of well-clear with DEFENDER_01.
  • TRANSMIT on INTRUDER_03 before loss of well-clear with DEFENDER_01.
  • TRANSMIT on the aircraft of interest, AOI_01, before loss of well-clear with DEFENDER_01.

Pass mark: 75 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.

Scenario 7

Waterfront site — one aircraft of interest among ground vehicles and surface vessels

Mode
Multi-domain security (Mode B)
Duration
60 s

Your task

  • TRANSMIT on the aircraft of interest, INTRUDER_01, among the ground vehicles and surface vessels.
  • Do not TRANSMIT on the legitimate cooperative transit, LEGIT_02.
  • TRANSMIT on INTRUDER_01 before loss of well-clear with DEFENDER_01.

Pass mark: 75 of 100 points.

You earn points for each intruder you TRANSMIT on, and more for doing it before its loss of well-clear with your aircraft. You lose points for each intruder you miss and for each aircraft you wrongly TRANSMIT on. HOLD is not an advisory: holding on an intruder without a TRANSMIT counts as a miss.
