Part 107 Load & Performance Quiz
The angle of attack at which an airfoil stalls will...
remain the same regardless of gross weight.
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the......
speed of the airplane.
In a 45 degree banking turn, a UA will....
stall at a higher airspeed
An increase in load factor will cause an unmanned aircraft to.....
stall at a higher speed.
When operating an unmanned aircraft, the remote pilot-in-command should consider that the load factor on the wings or rotors may be increased anytime.....
the aircraft is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight
You are operating an sUAS that does not have GPS or an installed ground speed limiter. How can you determine the speed you are operating?
Dead reckoning
What effect does an uphill terrain slope have on launch performance?
Increases the launch distance.
What is the best source for sUAS performance data and information?
Manufacturers publications
A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned aircraft's wing/propeller(s) is disrupted, and the lift reduces rapidly. This is caused when the wing/propeller(s)....
exceeds it critical angle of attack.
The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle....
between the wings chord line and relative wind.
What purpose does a rudder perform on an sUAS airplane?
controls the yaw.
When loading cameras or other equipment on an sUAS, mount the items in a manner that....
does not adversely affect the center of gravity
If an sUAS weighs 10 pounds, what approximate weight would the sUAS structure be required to support during a 60 degrees banked turn while maintaining altitude?
20 pounds
If an unmanned airplane weighs 33 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30 degree banked turn while maintaining altitude?
38 pounds.
If an sUAS weighs 50 pounds, what approximate weight would the sUAS structure be required to support during a 30 degree banked turn while maintaining altitude?
60 pounds
You are operating an sUAS that does not have GPS or an installed altimeter. How can you determine the altitude you are operating?
Gaining a visual perspective of what 400 feet looks like on the ground before the flight.
Which of the following is true regarding weight and balance of small unmanned aircraft?
Operations outside weight and balance limitations may result in loss of control.
To ensure that the unmanned aircraft center of gravity (CG) limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft loading instructions specified in the
Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual.
According to 14 CFR Part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?
Remote pilot-in-command
How can a remote pilot determine the altitude of the terrain and structures where the flight will be conducted?
Sectional Chart
What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight?
Shorter endurance
When operating an aircraft, the Remote PIC is responsible for using...
The most current weight and balance data.
Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an sUAS as compared to straight-and-level flight?
Turns
The most critical conditions of launch performance are the result of some combination of high gross weight, altitude, temperature, and...
Unfavorable wind
Maximum endurance is obtained at the point of minimum power to maintain the aircraft.......
in steady, level flight.
A UAS loaded with the most rearward center of gravity is....
less stable at all speeds.
When range and economy of operation are the principle goals, the remote pilot must ensure that the sUAS will be operated at the recommended......
long-range cruise performance.
Before each flight, the Remote PIC must ensure that...
objects carried on the sUAS are secure.
