Loading & Performance Quiz

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

• Does not adversely affect the center of gravity

• Is visible to the visual observer or other crew members

• Can be easily removed without the use of tools

A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned aircraft's wing/ propeller(s) is disrupted and the lift reduces rapidly. This is caused when the wing/ propeller (s) ____.
