1
Q

List the four forces of flight.

A

Lift, Weight, Force and Drag.

Lift is the engine and propeller working against the weight to make the drone or plane fly.

Force works against Drag to cause the drone or plane to move.

Q

Does increase in temp alone affect drone performance?

A

Yes. It lowers drone performance.

  • Higher temp, humidity and altitude all lower performance.
  • Higher pressure increases drone performance.

26
Q

Describe the Invulnerability hazardous attitude.

A

Pilot believes accident won’t happen to them.

27
Q

Describe the macho hazardous attitude.

28
Q

What to expect when you hear:

  • low temp inversion
  • high relative humidity
A

Clouds, fog or haze with poor visibility

29
Q

Term for sudden changes in wind speed or direction that can create violent updrafts and downdrafts.

A

Wind shear or low-level wind shear

30
Q

What would you expect on the east side of a building when the west side of the building are intense?

A

The winds from west side of building likely flow over the building and cause downward drafts on the east side, creating rolling turbulence.

31
Q

What are consequences of an overloaded or improperly loaded drone?

A
  • reduced rate of climb
  • lower max altitude
  • shorter range
  • reduced speed
  • more prone to stalling
    Loss of control
