Making Media with Drones 3/29/23

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.

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. 

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

• Shorter endurance

• Increased maneuverability

• Faster speed

(Refer to Figure 2.) If an airplane weighs 12 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 60 degrees banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 14 pounds

• 16 pounds

• 24 pounds

(Refer to Figure 2.) If an unmanned airplane weighs 33 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30 degrees banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 47 pounds.

• 38 pounds.

• 34 pounds.
