To determine altitude, with the sUAS on the ground, the remote pilot and VO should pace off 400 feet from the sUAS to get a visual perspective of the sUAS at that distance, wherein the remote pilot and VO maintain that visual perspective or closer while the sUAS is in flight.Answer (B) is incorrect because a person may not operate or act as a remote PIC or VO in the operation of more than one UA at the same time. Answer (C) is incorrect because the remote PIC needs to adhere to wire strike avoidance procedures when operating near towers, which are likely to have guy wires.

The remote PIC is responsible for ensuring that every flight can be accomplished safely, does not pose an undue hazard, and does not increase the likelihood of a loss of positive control.

Stall speed increases in proportion to the square root of the load factor. Thus, with a load factor of 4, an aircraft will stall at a speed which is double the normal stall speed.Answer (B) is incorrect because an airplane's tendency to spin does not relate to an increase in load factors. Answer (C) is incorrect because an airplane's stability determines its controllability.

Refer to Figure 2 and use the following steps: 1. Enter the chart at a 60 degrees angle of bank and proceed upward to the curved reference line. From the point of intersection, move to the left side of the chart and read a load factor of 2 Gs. 2. Multiply the aircraft weight by the load factor: 10 x 2 = 20 lbs. Or, working from the table: 10 x 2.0 (load factor) = 20 lbs.

Before any flight, verify that the unmanned aircraft is correctly loaded by determining the weight and balance condition. Review any available manufacturer weight and balance data and follow all restrictions and limitations.
