An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be

• a longer takeoff run

• difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition

• stalling at higher-than-normal airspeed

When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings may be increased anytime

• the CG is shifted rearward to the aft CG limit

• the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight

• the gross weight is reduced

Which of these maneuvers would cause an increase in load factor?

• a level turn

• a power off stall

• a steady climb

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

• Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)

• Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook

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

• Faster speed

• Increased maneuverability

• Shorter endurance

When loading cameras or other equipment on an sUAS, mount the items in a manner that

• is visible to the visual observer or other crewmembers

• does not adversely affect the center of gravity

• can be easily removed without the use of tools

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

• increase if the CG is moved forward

• change with an increase in gross weight

• remain the same regardless of gross weight

The airspeed at which a stall occurs will

• increase if the CG is moved forward

• increase if the CG is moved aft

• remain the same regardless of gross weight

The airspeed at which a stall occurs will

• decrease if the CG is moved forward

• decrease if the CG is moved aft

• remain the same regardless of gross weight

If an unmanned airplane weighs 45 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30º level turn?

• 63.63 lbs

• 42.42 lbs

• 51.93 lbs

• 34.62
