Questions:

1. An unmanned airplane has the capacity to carry a 50lb payload. Which of the following behaviors most likely results in the airplane malfunctioning while carrying the 50lb payload?
   • Placing the payload along the center of lift
   • Placing the payload outside of the center of gravity envelope
   • The airplane isn’t expected to malfunction since the payload’s weight is within capacity
   • Don't know - Mark as incorrect

The correct answer is that placing the payload outside of the center of gravity envelope would result in malfunctioning.

2. What action could result in stalling a fixed-wing aircraft?
   • Not putting enough gas on the airplane engine
   • Placing a heavy load outside of the center of gravity envelope
   • Exceeding the critical angle of attack
   • Don't know - Mark as incorrect

The correct answer is exceeding the critical angle of attack.

3. (Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H.pdf, Figure 1.) Angle A in this figure represents
   • the angle of attack
   • the pitch angle
   • the chord line angle
   • Don't know - Mark as incorrect

The correct answer is the angle of attack.

4. (Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H.pdf, Figure 2.) If an unmanned airplane weighs 45 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane’s body be required to support during a 65° banked turn while maintaining altitude?
   • 112.5lb
   • 90.0lb
   • 45.0lb
   • Don't know - Mark as incorrect

The correct answer is 112.5lb.

5. (Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H.pdf, Figure 2.) A 200lb unmanned airplane drone is flying at a bank of 30° while carrying an 8lb camera that is placed 12 inches from its nose datum. What is the moment created by the airplane’s camera payload?
   • 2,496lb-inch
   • 240lb-inch
   • 96lb-inch
   • Don't know - Mark as incorrect

The correct answer is 96lb-inch.
