How should a remote pilot verify the CG of an sUAS after changing the payload?
- A.Use the manufacturer's recommended balance check for that model
- B.Assume the CG is correct if the aircraft sits level on a table
- C.Check it only after the first test flight reveals a problem
Correct answer
A. Use the manufacturer's recommended balance check for that model
Why
Manufacturers provide a balance reference or procedure for each model. Checking CG on the ground with that procedure catches an out-of-limits condition before it becomes a flight hazard.
