Accepted Answer

the surface up to and including 18,000 feet MSL.

Answer

700 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet MSL

Answer

1,200 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet MSL.

Question 8

You had several drinks yesterday and are experiencing a hangover today. Even though the last drink was over 8 hours ago, would you still be allowed to conduct commercial drone flight operations today?

Accepted Answer

No, a hangover is a form of impairment from alcohol consumption

Answer

Yes, as long as you are not in a drunken state, you are allowed to conduct UAV operations

Answer

Yes, how you feel doesn't matter as much as meeting the 8-hour rule

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

airplanes longitudinal axis and that of the air striking the airfoil.

Answer

airplane's centerline and the relative wind.

Answer

chord line of the wing and the relative wind

Question 10

What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?

Accepted Answer

Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.

Answer

Efficiency is increased due to less friction on the propeller blades.

Answer

Efficiency is reduced due to the increased force of the propeller in the thinner air.
