An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be

1

stalling at higher-than-normal airspeed. a longer takeoff run. difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.

When operating an unmanned airplane, the remote pilot should consider that the load factor on the wings may be increased anytime

0

the CG is shifted rearward to the aft CG limit. the gross weight is reduced. the airplane is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight.

What effect does humidity have on flight performance?

0

It increases performance. It has no effect over performance. It decreases performance.

A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplane’s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing

0

exceeds its critical angle of attack. exceeds the maximum speed. exceeds maximum allowable operating weight.

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the aircraft to

0

have a tendency to spin. be more difficult to control. stall at a higher airspeed.

What could be a consequence of operating a small unmanned aircraft above its maximum allowable weight?

0

Faster speed. Shorter endurance. Increased maneuverability.
