Loading & Performance Flashcard

Front

What happens to a UAV during a 45-degree banking turn?

Back

A UAV will stall at a higher speed.

Front

As the bank angle increases, what happens to the load factor?

Back

The load factor increases.

Front

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

Back

Shorter endurance.

Front

Who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft according to 14 CFR Part 107?

Back

Remote pilot-in-command.

Front

What effect does an increase in load factor have on an unmanned aircraft?

Back

It causes the aircraft to stall at a higher airspeed.

Front

Define 'bank angle' in aviation.

Back

The angle between the horizontal plane and the wings of the aircraft during a turn.

Front

What is 'load factor' in aviation?

Back

The ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight, often expressed in G-forces.

Front

Explain the term 'stall speed.'

Back

The minimum speed at which an aircraft can maintain level flight.

Front

What is the relationship between bank angle and stall speed?

Back

As the bank angle increases, the stall speed increases.

Front

What is the role of the remote pilot-in-command?

Back

To ensure the safe operation of the unmanned aircraft and determine its performance.
