Test 6 - sUAS Loading & Performance - Emergency Flight Procedures

Before each flight, the Remote PIC must ensure .

• Objects carried on the sUAS are secure
• The ATC has been granted clearance
• The site supervisor has approved the flight
• The VO is watching

Juan is operating a sUAS which does not have GPS or an installed ground speed limiter. How can he determine the speed he is operating?

• Pilotage
• Wind triangle
• Dead reckoning
• Assumption

How can a Remote PIC determine the altitude of the terrain and structures where the flight will be conducted?

• Sectional Chart
• Road maps
• Manufacturer's data
• The Pilot's Operating Handbook

To ensure the unmanned aircrafts Center of Gravity limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft's loading instructions specified in the .

• Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)
• Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook
• Pilot's Operating Handbook or sUAS Flight Manual
• Sectional Chart

When loading cameras or other equipment on a sUAS, mount the items in a manner which .

• Is visible to the Visual Observer or other crewmembers
• Does not adversely affect the Center of Gravity
• Can be easily removed without the use of tools
• Looks visually pleasing

What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight?

• Faster speed
• Shortened endurance
• Increased maneuverability
• Decreased drag

When operating an aircraft, the Remote PIC is responsible for using .

• The most current weight and balance data
• Weight and balance data from the factory
• Recent weight and balance data
• Weight and balance data from a peer

Which of the following is true regarding weight and balance of small unmanned aircraft?

• CG cannot change during flight
• Lateral CG is not important to small unmanned aircraft operations
• Operations outside weight and balance limitations may result in loss of control
• Having less weight is just as bad as having too much

A UAS loaded with the most rearward Center of Gravity is .

• More stable at slow speeds
• Less stable at all speeds
• Able to perform maneuvers at higher speeds
• Able to reach a higher altitude

When operating an unmanned aircraft, the Remote PIC should consider the load factor on the wings or rotors may be increased anytime .

• The CG is shifted rearward to the aft CG limit
• The gross weight is reduced
• The aircraft is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight
• The aircraft lands
