What is a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System?

• An active remote pilot has been physically removed from the air vehicle and placed in either another vehicle or on the ground.

• A system where the aircraft is controlled by an onboard pilot at all times.

• A type of aircraft that operates only autonomously without any human intervention.

• A system that refers exclusively to manned commercial airliners.

What is an Autonomous RPAS?

• A aircraft which flies under the control of an autonomous flight control scheme and needs no intervention from a human pilot during the flight.

• A remotely piloted aircraft that requires constant manual control by a human operator.

• A type of aircraft that can only be flown indoors and is not capable of outdoor flight.

• An aircraft that is tethered to the ground and cannot move freely.

Name the essential components of a remotely piloted aircraft system.

• Control stations, aircrafts, support equipment, payloads, humans element, data link.

• Wings, wheels, propellers, fuel tanks, landing gear, navigation lights.

• Engines, seats, windows, autopilot, emergency exits, black box.

• Batteries, solar panels, tires, cockpit, radar, seat belts.

What does an Air Vehicle typically consist of?

• A fuselage, wings, tail, and propulsion system.

• Only wheels and a steering system.

• A hull, anchor, and sails.

• Just a cockpit and landing gear.

What is the function of a Control Station in a remotely piloted aircraft system?

• Used to process data from the aircraft and display it on the monitor.

• Provides fuel to the aircraft during flight.

• Acts as the main landing gear for the aircraft.

• Controls the temperature inside the aircraft.

What is the purpose of a Data Link in a remotely piloted aircraft system?

• Allows pilot on the ground to communicate with the aircraft and receive data from sensors.

• Provides power to the aircraft's engines.

• Controls the landing gear mechanism.

• Stores fuel for long-distance flights.

What does the Payload include in a remotely piloted aircraft system?

• The instrument that allow the aircraft to gather information about its environment.

• The remote control used by the pilot.

• The landing gear of the aircraft.

• The fuel tank of the aircraft.

Who is ultimately responsible for the performance and application of the remotely piloted aircraft system?

• The human element.

• The manufacturer.

• The remote control device.

• The maintenance crew.

What is Support Equipment in a remotely piloted aircraft system?

• All the necessary equipment and tools required to maintain and support the system.

• The main control unit of the aircraft.

• Only the communication devices used for remote control.

• The fuel system of the aircraft.

What challenges does an operational environment pose for remotely piloted aircraft systems?

• Weather conditions, terrain, and obstacles.

• Increased battery life and unlimited range.

• Automatic obstacle removal and clear skies always.

• Guaranteed communication with no interference.
