The rPIC
If the sUAS is powered
Ensure that there is enough available power for the sUAS to operate for the intended time
Any object or equipment attached or carried by the sUA should be
Certainly secured in a manner that does not adversely affect the flight characteristics or controllability
While experiencing high density altitudes
Propeller efficiency is decreased
Poor visibility and steady precipitation are characteristics of
Stable Air (including stratiform clouds, smooth air, and haze/smoke
Turbulence, showery precipitation, good visibility, and culumiform clouds are
Characteristics of unstable air
Expected weather conditions resulting from a low-level temperature inversion with relative high humidity
Smooth air, poor visibility, fog, haze, or low clouds
To ensure the integrity of the UAs center of gravity (CG), and not exceed the limits of the CG
A PIC should follow the loading instructions specified in the pilot’s operating handbook or UA flight Manual
A stall occurs when
The wing exceeds its critical angle of attack (AOA)
When operating a UA the PIC should consider the load factor will increase anytime the airplane is subject to
Anytime the UA is subject to maneuvers other than straight and level flight
A rPIC planning to operate within Class C airspace must first
Acquire authorization from ATC
To fly a UA weighing more than 55lbs a PIC must submit a
Waiver from the FAA

ATC permission must be obtain
90 days prior to planned flight

When is the load factor on an an airplane is increased compared to straight and level flgiht
While in a Turn
When loading cameras and other equipment on a UA
Mount in a manner that does not adversely affect the UAs CG
Improperly loaded equipment will cause
An adverse affect on handling, stability and safety of the operation
Follow load instructions found in
