1const e={"level-1":[{id:"q-sum-1",type:"true-false",question:"GIS data differs from regular data in that each record has a location attached, enabling spatial analysis.",correctAnswer:!0,explanation:"The defining feature of GIS data is that each record has a location attached. That single addition enables mapping, distance calculations, overlay analysis, and queries that depend on where things are."},{id:"q-sum-2",type:"multiple-choice",question:"Which two data types make up almost everything in GIS?",options:["CAD drawings and BIM building models","Vector and raster","Two-dimensional plans and three-dimensional meshes","Public-domain data and private data"],correctAnswer:1,explanation:"Vector data uses points, lines, and polygons (parcels, roads, fire hydrants). Raster data is a grid of cells with values (orthomosaics, elevation models). Most drone deliverables are raster."},{id:"q-sum-3",type:"multiple-choice",question:"A drone-captured orthomosaic is best classified as:",options:["Vector point and polygon data ready for editing","A geodatabase containing tabular feature attributes","Raster data, a grid of pixels with color values","A traditional CAD drawing produced for engineering"],correctAnswer:2,explanation:"An orthomosaic is a grid of pixels, each holding a color value. This is raster data. Vector versions of the same site (digitized building footprints, road centerlines) are produced by GIS analysts working on top of the orthomosaic."},{id:"q-sum-4",type:"multiple-choice",question:"CAD and GIS differ primarily in their purpose. Which is most accurate?",options:["CAD is design-oriented, GIS is analysis-oriented","CAD is free to use while GIS always requires costly licensing","CAD is strictly two-dimensional, GIS is always three-dimensional","CAD is for hobbyists while GIS is for professional users only"],correctAnswer:0,explanation:"CAD is built for designing things that will be built (a building, a road, a site plan). GIS is built for analyzing things that already exist (a parcel, a watershed, a drone capture). Many drone projects produce both CAD-friendly and GIS-friendly deliverables from the same capture."},{id:"q-sum-5",type:"multiple-choice",question:"Which company is dominant in the commercial GIS market and is the standard tool for most US government, utility, and large engineering clients?",options:["Autodesk","Google","Trimble","Esri"],correctAnswer:3,explanation:"Esri (Redlands, California) has been the leader in commercial GIS since the 1980s. Most US government agencies, large utilities, and major engineering firms run on ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online."},{id:"q-sum-6",type:"true-false",question:"A drone operator must purchase a full ArcGIS Pro license before they can do any meaningful drone-to-GIS work.",correctAnswer:!1,explanation:"Free, open-source QGIS is a professional-grade GIS that handles most drone-to-GIS workflows. Many operators do excellent commercial mapping work in QGIS for years before any need to license ArcGIS Pro."},{id:"q-sum-7",type:"multiple-choice",question:"A drone operator captures in WGS84 and delivers without transforming. The client works in NAD83 State Plane. The most likely consequence is:",options:["The data appears offset by roughly 1 to 2 meters in the client GIS","The data appears correctly aligned with no visible offset at all","The data fails to load at all into the client GIS application","The drone is recalled by the FAA for reference frame violation"],correctAnswer:0,explanation:"WGS84 and NAD83 are different reference frames. In the continental US, the offset is typically 1 to 2 meters. Coordinate system mismatch is the most common preventable failure in drone-to-GIS handoffs."},{id:"q-sum-8",type:"multiple-choice",question:"In utility vegetation management, a drone-captured LiDAR point cloud is typically used to:",options:["Generate marketing photos of the power line corridor","Identify trees within a clearance buffer of the conductors","Estimate the property tax value of right-of-way easements","Test new drone hardware models against benchmark missions"],correctAnswer:1,explanation:"The classified LiDAR cloud goes into ArcGIS Pro for clearance analysis. The GIS identifies vegetation within the clearance buffer (typically 10 feet of conductors), and a trim crew is dispatched to those locations using a GIS-based mobile app."},{id:"q-sum-9",type:"multiple-choice",question:"In precision agriculture, NDVI imagery measures:",options:["Soil moisture content beneath the canopy of the crop","The legal boundaries of the agricultural property parcels","Vehicle traffic density on access roads through the field","Plant health based on near-infrared reflectance differences"],correctAnswer:3,explanation:"NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) measures plant health based on how strongly plants reflect near-infrared light. Healthy plants reflect more NI
1R than stressed plants. The NDVI raster is overlaid in GIS to generate variable-rate prescriptions for irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide application."},{id:"q-sum-10",type:"multiple-choice",question:"The single most important professional habit for drone operators serving GIS clients is:",options:["Always flying at the highest sensor resolution available","Always delivering all output products in standard JPEG format","Confirming the coordinate system before each flight","Avoiding any client who uses Esri-based GIS tools"],correctAnswer:2,explanation:"Coordinate system mismatch is the most common preventable failure in drone-to-GIS work. Confirming the system in writing before flying, configuring processing to match, and documenting it in the deliverable prevents the issue and signals professionalism to GIS-savvy clients."}]};export{e as default};
