FAA Exam

To ensure that the unmanned aircraft center of gravity (CG) limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft loading instructions in the

Pilot’s Operating Handbook or UAS Flight manual

The term “angle of attack” is defined as the angle between the

Chord line of the wing and the relative wind

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

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

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

remain the same regardless of gross weight

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

38 pounds (33 × 1.154 figure)

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

In a fixed-wing aircraft, yaw is controlled by

the rudder

As the angle of attack increases, induced drag will

increase

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.

In a fixed-wing aircraft, pitch is controlled by

the stabilizer

As temperature decreases, aircraft performance will

increase

In a fixed-wing aircraft, yaw is controlled by

rudder

What effect does humidity have on flight performance?

decreases performance

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

stall at a higher airspeed

At which bank angle does the load factor increase dramatically

45-50 degrees

As speed increases, induced drag will

decrease

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
