Unmanned Aircraft Operations Quiz

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

• Propeller efficiency remains constant.

The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle between the

• chord line of the wing and the relative wind.

• airplane's longitudinal axis and that of the air striking the airfoil.

• airplane's centerline and the relative wind.

• wingtip and the horizontal plane.

The acute angle A is the angle of

• incidence.

• attack.

• dihedral.

• elevation.

If an unmanned aircraft weighs 45 pounds, what approximate weight would the aircraft structure be required to support during a 45° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

• 45 pounds.

• 63 pounds.

• 72 pounds.

• 90 pounds.

If the outside air temperature (OAT) at a given altitude is warmer than standard, the density altitude is

• equal to pressure altitude.

• lower than pressure altitude.

• higher than pressure altitude.

What is density altitude?

• The altitude at which the aircraft is flying.

• The altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

• The altitude above sea level.

• The altitude at which the air pressure is standard.

What is the pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature?

• The height above the standard datum plane.

• The pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

• The altitude read directly from the altimeter.

• The altitude above sea level.
