Loading and performance - FAA Part 107 Drone Exam Prep

Question 1

If an unmanned aircraft weighs 45 pounds, what approximate weight would the aircraft structure be required to support during a 45° banked turn while maintaining altitude?

Accepted Answer

63 pounds.

Answer

72 pounds.

Answer

45 pounds.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

What happens to the stall speed of an aircraft during a banked turn?

Accepted Answer

The stall speed increases as the bank angle increases.

Answer

The stall speed decreases as the bank angle increases.

Answer

The stall speed remains the same regardless of bank angle.

Question 4

Which combination of factors will result in the lowest density altitude (and therefore the best performance)?

Accepted Answer

Low temperature, low elevation, low humidity.

Answer

High temperature, high elevation, high humidity.

Answer

High temperature, low elevation, high humidity.

Question 5

The angle of attack is defined as the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the:

Accepted Answer

Direction of the relative wind.

Answer

Pitch angle of the aircraft.

Answer

Rotor plane of rotation.

Question 6

The purpose of calculating weight and balance before flight is to ensure:

Accepted Answer

The aircraft remains within its structural and aerodynamic limits for safe control.

Answer

The drone looks aesthetically balanced for photography.

Answer

The payload is heavy enough to resist strong winds.

Question 7

When strapping a new, heavy camera to your drone, how should you position it in relation to the aircraft's Center of Gravity (CG)?

Accepted Answer

As close to the original Center of Gravity as possible to maintain balance.

Answer

As far forward as possible to prevent flipping backward.

Answer

As far aft as possible.

Question 8

What happens when you exceed the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) specified by the sUAS manufacturer?

Accepted Answer

Structural damage may occur, and flight performance will be severely compromised.

Answer

The drone will fly faster due to increased momentum.

Answer

The FAA will automatically revoke your license.

Question 9

Before every flight, who is responsible for determining that the sUAS is properly loaded and within its weight and balance limits?

Accepted Answer

The Remote Pilot in Command (PIC).

Answer

The manufacturer.

Answer

The owner of the aircraft.

Question 10

Which of the following conditions results in the highest density altitude?

Accepted Answer

High temperature, high humidity, and low barometric pressure.

Answer

Low temperature, low humidity, and high barometric pressure.

Answer

High temperature, low humidity, and high barometric pressure.
