Swinging suspended load

A suspended load that begins to swing beneath a multirotor creates what risk?

  • A.Improved stability, because the swing acts like a pendulum damper
  • B.No risk if the total weight is below 55 pounds
  • C.Periodic CG and attitude disturbances that can grow if the pilot overcorrects
Correct answer

C. Periodic CG and attitude disturbances that can grow if the pilot overcorrects

Why

A swinging load continuously moves the effective balance point and pushes the aircraft off attitude. Gentle inputs are needed because aggressive corrections can amplify the swing.
