What is Class D airspace?

Back

Class D airspace is a type of controlled airspace that extends from the surface to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation. It is typically associated with airports that have an operational control tower.

What is the weight requirement for an sUAS during a banked turn?

Back

During a banked turn, an sUAS must support a weight greater than its own due to the increased load factor. For a 50 lbs sUAS in a 30-degree banked turn, it would need to support approximately 60 lbs.

How do you determine wind direction and velocity?

Back

Wind direction is reported in degrees true, indicating where the wind is coming from. Velocity is measured in knots. For example, '180° true at 4 knots' means the wind is coming from the south at 4 knots.

What is military time for 3:00 PM?

Back

3:00 PM in military time is 1500.

Front

Convert 9:00 PM to military time.

Back

9:00 PM in military time is 2100.

Front

What is the significance of understanding airspace classifications?

Back

Understanding airspace classifications is crucial for safe navigation and compliance with regulations when operating an sUAS.

Front

What is the load factor during a banked turn?

Back

The load factor during a banked turn increases due to the centripetal force acting on the aircraft, requiring it to support more weight than its own.

What is the purpose of a control tower at an airport?

Back

A control tower manages air traffic in the vicinity of the airport, ensuring safe takeoffs, landings, and ground movements.

Front

How is wind velocity measured?

Back

Wind velocity is measured in knots, which is a nautical unit of speed equivalent to one nautical mile per hour.

What does 'true' mean in wind direction reporting?

Back

'True' refers to the geographic direction based on true north, as opposed to magnetic north.
