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
To ensure that the unmanned aircraft center of gravity (CG) limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft loading instructions specified in the
aircraft weight and balance handbook
pilots operating handbook or UAS flight manual
aeronautical information manual (AIM)
What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight
shorter endurance
increased maneuverability
faster speed
When operating an aircraft, the remote PIC is responsible for using
the most current weight and balance data
weight and balance data from the factory
recent weight and balance data
Which of the following is true regarding weight and balance of small unmanned aircraft
CG cannot change during flight
lateral CG is not important to small unmanned aircraft operations
operations outside weight and balance limitations may result in loss of control
A UAS loaded with the most rearward center of gravity is
less stable at all speeds
more stable at slow speeds
more stable at fast speeds
When operating an unmanned aircraft, the remote PIC should consider that the load factor on the wings or rotors may be increased anytime
the aircraft is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight

Which basic flight maneuver increases the load factor on an sUAS as compared to straight and level flight

turns
stalls
A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned aircrafts wing/propeller(s) is disrupted and the lift reduceds rapidly. This is caused when the wing/propeller
exceeds maximum allowable operating weight
exceeds the maximum speed
eceeds its critical angle of attack
An increase in load factor will cause an unmanned aircraft to
stall at a higher airspeed
have a tendency to spin
be more difficult to control
Maximum endurance is obtained at the point of minimum power to maintain the aircraft
in steady level flight
in a long range descent
at its slowest possible indicated airspeed
