Summary: The commenter opposes the FAA's plan to create a public bank of remote pilot knowledge test questions and answers. They argue that such a bank would encourage applicants to memorize answers rather than learning necessary safety requirements, thereby increasing risks to manned aviation.
Any plan by the FAA to produce a public bank of the remote pilot knowledge test questions with answers is absolutely ridiculous!
The idea of this knowledge test is to actually ensure sUAS remote pilots learn the requirements and have the knowledge to be safe and efficient. Its widely understood that most Part 107 applicants see this license as a means to an end - a checking of the box for commercial operations - and therefore would absolutely memorize the answers and gain no understanding of airmanship or their responsibility as good participants in the NAS.
Any action to implement a test bank simply puts manned aviation at risk!
Thank you.
