Total questions: 27
Worksheet time: 14mins
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be
a longer takeoff run
difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition
stalling at higher-than-normal airspeed
When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings may be increased anytime
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
Which of these maneuvers would cause an increase in load factor?
a level turn
a power off stall
a steady climb
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
What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight?
Faster speed
Increased maneuverability
Shorter endurance
When loading cameras or other equipment on an sUAS, mount the items in a manner that
is visible to the visual observer or other crewmembers
does not adversely affect the center of gravity
can be easily removed without the use of tools
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
increase if the CG is moved forward
change with an increase in gross weight
remain the same regardless of gross weight
The airspeed at which a stall occurs will
increase if the CG is moved forward
increase if the CG is moved aft
remain the same regardless of gross weight
The airspeed at which a stall occurs will
decrease if the CG is moved forward
decrease if the CG is moved aft
remain the same regardless of gross weight
If an unmanned airplane weighs 45 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30º level turn?
63.63 lbs
42.42 lbs
51.93 lbs
34.62
The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle between the
chord line of the wing and the relative wind
chord line and leading edge of the airfoil
airplane's longitudinal axis and relative wind
airplane's centerline and relative wind
What effect does humidity have on flight performance?
It increases performance
It decreases performance
It has no effect on performance
The acute angle A is the angle of
incidence
dihedral
attack
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
In a fixed-wing aircraft, yaw is controlled by
the rudder
the ailerons
the stabilizer
the elevator
In a fixed-wing aircraft, pitch is controlled by
the rudder
the ailerons
the stabilizer
the elevator
In a fixed-wing aircraft, roll is controlled by
the rudder
the ailerons
the stabilizer
the elevator
What effect does high temperature have on flight performance?
It increases performance

It has no effect on performance
What effect does low temperature have on flight performance?
It increases performance
It decreases performance
It has no effect on performance
What effect does low altitude have on flight performance?
It increases performance
It decreases performance
It has no effect on performance

An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be
difficulty flaring
over rotation on takeoff
slower cruise speed
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located forward of the forward CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be
lower stall speed
unable to take off
over rotation on takeoff
What is the effect of moving the CG aft? (pick two)
decreased stability
increased stability
higher stall speed
lower stall speed
What is the effect of moving the CG forward? (pick two)
decreased stability
increased stability
higher stall speed
lower stall speed
