8.10 UAS Loading and Performance - Practice Questions

Front

At what bank angle does the load factor of your aircraft begin to change significantly? A) 15°, B) 30°, C) 45°

Back

45°

Front

What happens when your UA center of gravity (CG) is too far aft, or too far to the back of, your aircraft?

Back

It's more difficult to recover from a stall / more difficult to control.

Front

What is the rudder on a fixed-wing UA used for?

Back

Yaw

Front

To ensure that the unmanned aircraft center of gravity (CG) limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft loading instructions specified in the

Back

Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual.

Front

When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings may be increased any time the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight.

Back

the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight.

Front

A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane's wing is disrupted, and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack.

Back

exceeds its critical angle of attack.

Front

If an unmanned airplane weighs 33 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

Back

38 pounds

Front

The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are: thrust, drag, weight (gravity), and lift.

Back

thrust, drag, weight (gravity), and lift.

Front

When are the four forces that act on an airplane in equilibrium? A) During unaccelerated flight. B) When the aircraft is accelerating. C) When the aircraft is at rest on the ground.

Back

During unaccelerated flight.

Front

What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?

Back

Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
