FAA Part 107 Loading and Performance Quiz

What does an unmanned aircraft's center of gravity affect most?

• Performance capabilities.

• Handling and control.

• Maximum operating altitude.

What can happen if the center of gravity is not within the recommended range?

• Decreased stability and performance.

• Reduced maximum takeoff weight.

• Increased battery life.

How does adding payload to an unmanned aircraft impact its performance?

• It increases endurance.

• It reduces flight stability.

• It decreases stall speed.

What is the purpose of ensuring a drone’s weight is within the manufacturer’s limits?

• To prevent overloading the motors and reduce stress on the airframe.

• To increase power output.

• To optimize GPS performance.

What is the primary effect of high weight on an unmanned aircraft?

• Increased lift and greater stability.

• Decreased endurance and reduced maneuverability.

• Reduced control response time.

How does high-density altitude affect drone performance?

• Reduced lift and increased power requirements.

• Enhanced maneuverability.

• Increased motor efficiency.

Which environmental condition most affects battery performance?

• Cold temperatures.

• High humidity.

• Low barometric pressure.

Why should a pilot avoid operating a drone above its maximum gross takeoff weight?

• It decreases navigation precision.

• It compromises structural integrity and performance.

• It increases radio interference.

What happens when a drone exceeds its maximum allowable weight during flight?

• Motor efficiency increases.

• Propeller rotation speed decreases.

• Stability and control decrease.

How does increased payload affect an unmanned aircraft?

• Reduced climb performance.

• Increased turn performance.

• Improved battery usage.
