FAA Part 107

In a fixed-wing aircraft, pitch is controlled by

stabilizer

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

remain the same regardless of gross weight.

Which of the following increases load factor the most on fixed wing aircraft?

Level Turn

As speed increases, induced drag will

Decrease

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

chord line of the wing and the relative wind.

As temperature decreases, aircraft performance will

Increase

If an unmanned airplane weighs 33 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

Attack

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

In a fixed-wing aircraft, roll is controlled by

the ailerons

What effect does humidity have on flight performance?

It decreases performance.

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the aircraft to

stall at a higher airspeed

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 in recovering from a stalled condition.

At which bank angle does the load factor increase dramatically

45-50 degrees.

As the angle of attack increases, induced drag will

Increase

In a fixed-wing aircraft, yaw is controlled by

The rudder

According to 14 CFR part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?

Remote pilot-in-command.

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

the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight.

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 its critical angle of attack.

What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight?

Shorter endurance
