Question 1

As altitude increases, what happens to the true airspeed of a fixed-wing sUAS flying at a constant indicated airspeed?

Accepted Answer

True airspeed increases because the air is less dense.

Answer

True airspeed decreases.

Answer

True airspeed remains the same.

Question 2

Why should a remote pilot avoid storing LiPo batteries fully charged for extended periods (e.g., several weeks)?

Accepted Answer

It degrades the battery's chemical structure, leading to swelling (puffing) and reduced lifespan.

Answer

The battery will become too cold.

Answer

The battery will permanently lock and cannot be used again.

Question 3

During a crash, the lithium battery in your UAV is dislodged from its compartment and is found on the ground, 5 feet from the aircraft. You notice a dent in the battery, what should you do?

Accepted Answer

Discard battery regardless of condition.

Answer

Assess the condition of the battery and cautiously proceed, following manufacturer's recommendations.

Answer

Perform a test flight to ensure that all items are working properly.

Question 4

During a preflight inspection, you notice your LiPo battery is slightly swollen or puffy. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Do not fly with it, safely discharge it, and dispose of it properly, as it poses a severe fire risk.

Answer

Use it for short flights only.

Answer

Compress it gently to flatten it out before flying.

Question 5

Which weather conditions should a remote pilot consider primarily because they severely degrade lithium battery performance?

Accepted Answer

Sub-freezing temperatures.

Answer

High humidity.

Answer

High temperatures.

Question 6

When computing weight and balance, the 'datum' is:

Accepted Answer

An imaginary vertical plane or line from which all measurements of arm are taken.

Answer

The exact center of the propeller hub.

Answer

The total weight of the aircraft empty.

Question 7

Density altitude is defined as:

Accepted Answer

Pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

Answer

The height above the standard datum plane.

Answer

The actual height of the aircraft above the ground.

Question 8

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 9

Can an aircraft stall at any airspeed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a stall can occur at any airspeed and any flight attitude if the critical angle of attack is exceeded.

Answer

No, an aircraft can only stall at its published stall speed.

Answer

No, an aircraft cannot stall if the throttle is at 100%.

Question 10

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.
