U1 Foundations of Aviation

A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane`s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing

• exceeds the maximum speed.

• exceeds maximum allowable operating weight.

• exceeds its critical angle of attack.

• none of the choices

(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 2.) If an unmanned airplane weighs 50 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 45° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 45 pounds

• 50 pounds

• 71 pounds

• 2,250 pounds

Which of the following is true regarding weight and balance of small unmanned aircraft?

• CG cannot change during flight.

• Lateral CG is not important to small unmanned aircraft operations.

• Operations outside weight and balance limitations may result in loss of control.

• CG is always ahead of CP.

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

• Climbs

• Turns

• Stalls

To ensure that the unmanned aircraft weight 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.

(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 25, area 2.) The airspace directly overlying Addison Airport (ADS) is:

• Class D

• Class E

• Class B

• Class C

(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 21.) You have been hired by a farmer to use your small UA to inspect his crops. The area that you are to survey is in the Devil`s Lake West MOA, east of area 2. How would you find out if the MOA is active?

• Refer to the chart legend.

• This information is available in the Small UAS database.

• Refer to the Military Operations Directory.

• Refer to the Pilot's Operating Handbook.

According to 14 CFR part 107, under what condition, if any, may remote pilots fly through a restricted area?

• When flying on airways with an ATC clearance.

• With the controlling agency’s authorization.

• Regulations do not allow this.

• At any time

According to 14 CFR part 107, the remote PIC of a small unmanned aircraft planning to operate within Class C airspace

• is required to receive ATC authorization.

• is required to file a flight plan.

• must use a visual observer.

• is allowed to do so at any time

The development of unmanned aerial vehicles can be traced back as far as: 

• 1936

• 1849

• 1991

• 2016
