Remote Pilot - sUAS Loading - Part 107 Ch4

What is the primary responsibility of the remote pilot-in-command (PIC) before any flight?

• To verify the aircraft is correctly loaded by determining the weight and balance condition.

• To ensure the aircraft is fueled.

• To check the weather conditions.

• To file a flight plan.

The center of gravity (CG) is important for aircraft stability. If the CG is forward of the center of pressure (CP), the aircraft will tend to ______.

• A) pitch nose up

• B) pitch nose down

• C) roll to the left

• D) roll to the right

What is the primary design characteristic of an aircraft that allows it to correct for conditions that may disturb its equilibrium?

• Maneuverability

• Controllability

• Stability

• Load Factor

In aerodynamics, the maximum load factor is measured in ____.

What happens to the load factor when an aircraft reaches a bank angle of 60° in a coordinated level turn?

• It becomes 1 G

• It becomes 2 Gs

• It becomes 5.76 Gs
