100

These props have more force on a quadcopter than their counterpart that allows the a UAS to travel forward.

What are Rear Props?

100

These two forces cause Load Factor during turns on an aircraft.

What are Centrifugal Force and Weight?

100

This part of the atmosphere is located above the thermosphere that usually has satellites. 

What is the exosphere?

100

An aircraft’s weight is concentrated at this.

What is Center of Gravity?

100

If temperature and humidity increases then a sUAS performance will do this.

What is Decrease?

200

These props have more force on a quadcopter than their counterpart that allows the a UAS to travel backwards.

What are Front Props?

200

The ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight and represents a global measure of stress to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected. 

What is Load Factor?

200

This happens to density as the temperature increases.

What is Decrease?

200

It is important to understand that an aircraft's weight is concentrated at the CG and the aerodynamic forces of lift occur at this.

What is Center of Pressure?

200

If altitude decreases, then the sUAS performance will do this.

What is Increase?

300

This may be considered as a point at which all the weight of the aircraft is concentrated.

What is Center of Gravity?

300

This affects an airplane's wing when the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight-and-level flight.

What is the increase in load factor?

300

This happens to the performance of UAS as temperature decreases and the density of air increases.

What is Increase?

300

This is the inherent quality of an aircraft to correct for conditions that may disturb its equilibrium and to return to or to continue on the original flight path.

What is Stability?

300

Manufacturers may provide this that provides data for the aircraft.

What is Operational and Performance Information?

400

A quadcopter generates lifts with it's props to defy this.

What is Gravity?

400

When the smooth flow of air over an airfoil breaks up and separates, it produces an abrupt change of flight characteristics and a sudden loss of lift.

What is a stall?

400

In regards to atmospheric relations, "A" = Altitude, "P" = Pressure, "da" equal this.

What is Density Altitude?

400

This is the capability of an aircraft to respond to the pilot’s control, especially with regard to flight path and attitude

What is Controllability?

400

It should be emphasized that this not standardized in regards to a sUAS operations.

What is the manufacturers’ information regarding performance data?

500

When all props are spinning with the same force with enough lift to overcome the force of gravity, the sUAS is doing this.

What is hover?

500

The load factor rises as it approaches this degree bank line, which it never quite reaches because this degree banked, constant altitude turn is mathematically impossible.

What is 90°

500

This is the amount of water vapor in the air.

What is Humidity (Relative Humidity)

500

A drone has been fitted with a package just under its left front propeller. As the drone is flown, the RPIC notices that the drone is having trouble hovering, and it keeps wavering especially when it is directed to move forward or backward. This is example of

What is Decreased Stability?

500

To ensure the the unmanned aircraft center of gravty limits are not exceeded, follow the aircraft loading instructions specified in this
