Loading and performance - FAA Part 107 Drone Exam Prep

Question 1

You are flying a quadcopter and maneuvering aggressively, causing steep banks and rapid pull-ups. How does this affect the structural integrity of the drone?

Accepted Answer

It increases the load factor, placing higher stress on the airframe and motors.

Answer

It strengthens the frame by testing its flexibility.

Answer

It reduces the load factor because the drone is moving quickly.

Question 2

If your sUAS weighs 20 pounds and you execute a sudden pull-up maneuver that subjects the drone to a load factor of 3 Gs, what is the effective load the structure is bearing?

Accepted Answer

60 pounds.

Answer

20 pounds.

Answer

3 pounds.

Question 3

What increases the load factor on a fixed wing airplane?

Accepted Answer

Level turn.

Answer

Power off stall.

Answer

Steady state climb.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

If you add a payload to your drone that shifts the CG beyond the aft limit, what is the most likely aerodynamic consequence?

Accepted Answer

The drone will be tail-heavy and highly unstable, making it difficult or impossible to control.

Answer

The drone will be nose-heavy, causing it to descend rapidly.

Answer

The drone will automatically engage a return-to-home protocol.

Question 7

During a 60-degree banked level turn, what is the approximate load factor (G-force) exerted on the aircraft?

Accepted Answer

2.0 Gs.

Answer

1.5 Gs.

Answer

1.0 G.

Question 8

Which aircraft characteristic is most negatively affected by an increase in density altitude?

Accepted Answer

Climb performance and overall lift generation.

Answer

Maximum speed.

Answer

Radio range.

Question 9

A resource you can use to find out detailed information about the effects of alcohol and legal and illegal drugs is

Accepted Answer

the PHAK (Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge).

Answer

NOTAMs.

Answer

a Pilot's Operating Handbook.

Question 10

If the temperature increases from 60°F to 90°F at your flying site, what happens to the density altitude and your drone's performance?

Accepted Answer

Density altitude increases, and drone performance decreases.

Answer

Density altitude decreases, and drone performance increases.

Answer

Density altitude increases, and drone performance increases.
