FAA Part 107 Drone Practice Test

To ensure the center of gravity limits of an unmanned aircraft are maintained, which document should you consult?

1. Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual

2. Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)

3. Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook

4. Drone Maintenance Manual

The correct answer is: Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual

The correct answer is the Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual. This document is specifically designed for the particular unmanned aircraft you are operating and contains critical information regarding its operational limits, including the center of gravity (CG) limits. Maintaining the center of gravity within specified limits is crucial for the stability and controllability of the aircraft during flight. The Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual provides guidelines on weight distribution, loading procedures, and the importance of ensuring that the CG is within allowable limits. It may also include data relevant to various configurations of the aircraft, which is essential when making operational decisions. The other options, while they contain useful information, do not specifically address the CG limits of a particular unmanned aircraft in the same targeted manner. The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is more of a general guide for all pilots and does not focus on specifics of any aircraft's operational parameters. The Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook provides broader information on weight and balance concepts but may not be tailored to the specific aircraft you are flying. The Drone Maintenance Manual focuses on the maintenance and repair processes rather than operational limits. Therefore, the Pilot's Operating Handbook or UAS Flight Manual is the most appropriate resource for ensuring that the
