Exam 2 Review

What are likely sources of turbulence for a sUAS?

• Rain showers, solar flares, and engine failure.
• Thermal updrafts, electromagnetic interference, and bird strikes.
• Mountain Slopes and buildings in cities

• Cloud cover, volcanic ash, and pilot error.

You see lightening in the distance. You hear thunder five seconds later. What is your approximate distance from the lightening?

• 5 SM

• 1 SM

• 5 NM

• 500 feet

Suspending a UAV from a string so that it hangs level is a way to determine its

How much weight would the propellers of a 10 pound drone need to support in a 45 degree bank (G load factor of 1.414).

While flying downwind the wind speed is added to the UAV's true airspeed resulting in

• higher altitude

• sudden grounding

• heavy turbulence

• higher groundspeed

An overloaded UAV may experience which of the following conditions. Check all that apply.

• Decreased stall speed

• Reduced battery life

• increased battery life

• reduced performance

• Increased angle of attack

What is the effect of high density altitude?

• Improved engine/propeller performance, increased lift for aircraft, decreased takeoff and landing distances

• No effect on engine/propeller performance or aircraft lift, decreased takeoff and landing distances,.

• Reduced engine/propller performance, increased lift for aircraft, decreased takeoff and landing distances

• Reduced engine/propeller performance, decreased lift for aircraft, increased takeoff and landing distances.

The minimum visibility to operate a drone is 1 mile.

• True

• False

Why is it unacceptable to fly a drone above the clouds?

• Potential damage to the drone
• Limited visibility and increased risk of collision
• Risk to other aircrafts and violation of aviation regulations.
• Interference with air traffic control signals

What is the most typical duty of a supplemental pilot? (read the question carefully)

• Crowd control

• Thermal imaging

• Camera Operation

• Visual observation
