Accepted Answer

degrade position hold and increase the risk of drift

Answer

always improve the accuracy

Answer

replace reading the map

Answer

remove the maximum height limit

Question 5

In the context of risk management, what is a 'Contingency Procedure'?

Accepted Answer

A predefined action taken to handle an abnormal situation (like a low battery warning) and prevent it from escalating into a critical emergency

Answer

A plan for buying a new drone

Answer

The procedure for turning on the remote controller

Answer

A method to bypass airspace restrictions

Answer

As a percentage of the Earth's rotation

Question 8

On a sunny afternoon, a pilot flying a drone from a dark asphalt parking lot over a cool lake should anticipate:

Accepted Answer

A strong thermal updraft over the asphalt, followed by sinking air (subsidence) over the cooler water, requiring throttle adjustments to maintain altitude

Answer

Perfectly smooth, uninterrupted flight at all times

Answer

A sudden loss of GPS signal over the water

Answer

The drone's compass reversing its polarity

Question 10

What is the 'Lapse Rate'?

Accepted Answer
