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

• Shorter endurance

• Faster speed

• Increased maneuverability

According to 14 CFR part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?

• Remote pilot-in-command.

• Manufacturer.

• Owner or operator.

If an unmanned aircraft weighs 20 pounds, what approximate weight would the aircraft structure be required to support during a 60° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 23 pounds

• 28 pounds

• 40 pounds

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of ...

• lift.

• attack.

• incidence.

Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an airplane as compared to straight-and-level flight?

• Climbs

• Turns

• Stalls

How would high density altitude affect the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?

• Increased performance

• Decreased performance

• No change in performance

What effect does high density altitude have on the efficiency of a UA propeller?

• Propeller efficiency is increased.

• Propeller efficiency is decreased.

• Density altitude does not affect propeller efficiency.

What is the relationship of lift, drag, thrust, and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?

• Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.

• Lift, drag, and weight equal thrust.

• Lift and weight equal thrust and drag.

Which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport?

• An increase in barometric pressure.

• An increase in ambient temperature.

• A decrease in relative humidity.
