In addition to adhering to a code of ethics, a professional remote pilot will need to commit to a culture of
ethics
professionalism
collaboration
safety
True or False: This course is solely focused on commercial small UAS flight operations
True
False
the control station may have many subcomponents, to include:
telemetry
navigation
tablet based control interface
all of the above
What is telemetry?
the use of GPS or RFID technology to create a virtual geographic boundary, enabling software to trigger a response when a mobile device enters or leaves a particular area.
the health and status of the aircraft, such as attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading
an instrument for measuring acceleration, typically that of an automobile, ship, aircraft, or spacecraft, or that involved in the vibration of a machine, building, or other structure.
a detection system which works on the principle of radar, but uses light from a laser
Which is NOT a subcomponent of a data link?
receivers
transmitters
antenna
amplifiers
cameras
The way the remote pilot interacts with the machine (sometimes called a _____________) is an important part in understanding and controlling the aircraft.
an autonomous relationship
a human machine relationship
a human interface
a symbiotic relationship
In examining UAS, we must look at two distinctive types of systems: ______ and _______ (pick two)
remotely controlled
unmanned
autonomous
robotic
The ______ is the business end of the UAS and the operational purpose for the aircraft being airborne.
payload
cockpit
control station
propellers
Control stations are classified by:
The location of the remote pilot to the flight crew and the remote pilot's ability to physically see the unmanned aircraft system while in flight
the location of the remote pilot to the UA and the remote pilot's ability to physically see the unmanned aircraft system while in flight
the location of the remote pilot to the UA and the remote pilot's ability to physically see the unmanned aircraft sustem while in flight
the location of the remote pilot to the UA and the remote pilot's abilitiy to physically see the unmanned aircraft system while landing.
Why are professional and safe attitudes paramount in the training and flight of UAS operations?
Because many aspiring commercial remote pilots have an extensive manned aviation background but don't know anything about unmanned aviation
Because many aspiring commercial remote pilots have either no aviation background or are transferred from the model aircraft community
Because many aspiring commercial remote pilots have either no aviation background or are transferred from the military
When you choose to operate your UAS for hire you potentially expose your organization to financial liability for: (Select all that apply)
Damage of Property
Injury of People
Disruptions of Service
Invasion of privacy
Error management practices are known in the aviation community as Crew Resource Management. In order to commit to a culture of safety professional remote pilots must be trained in procedures that can mitigate the effects of _____________ _____________.
(a)
What is the goal of a well-functioning safety management system within a UAS company?
To ensure a company and all of its employees never cause an unmanned incident or accident.
To ensure a company and all of its employees follow UAS regulations.
To ensure a company and all of its employees are able to plan for, prevent, react, and recover from an unmanned incident or accident.
UAS technology has created a new and amazing field of study with the potential of saving lives, resources, time, and money. Which of the following creates benefits of utilizing an unmanned aircraft system instead of a traditional manned aircraft system:
UAS are lightweight and can be launched from remote or unimproved locations
UAS can fly at low speeds and altitudes
Extreme Endurance
all of the choices
The difference between traditional aircraft and UAS reliability can be striking. Three possible explanations for this lower reliability exist. They are:
the UAS design competes with traditional aircraft and needs to be cheaper and acquired much faster
There are no standards for the design and development of UAS
There is lack of developmental and operational testing with commercial civilian UAS
The non-similarities between aircraft and UAS create a divergence in the powers that control the universe
