Why should abrupt, aggressive maneuvers be avoided when an sUAS is heavily loaded?
- A.Aggressive maneuvers void the aircraft's registration
- B.They multiply structural and motor loads beyond what the same maneuvers cause at light weight
- C.They cause the remote pilot certificate to be suspended
Correct answer
B. They multiply structural and motor loads beyond what the same maneuvers cause at light weight
Why
Maneuvering loads add to the loads already imposed by the aircraft's weight. At high gross weight, abrupt inputs can overstress motors, arms, and mounts that would tolerate the same inputs when light.
