China Civil UAV Theory Questions — Questions 124–133

UAV-Q0124. Before a special flight permit for a UAV is issued, an inspection to determine that the intended flight is safe shall be performed by an Authority inspector or Authority certificated personnel or ( )

Explanation

Inspection before issuance of an airworthiness certificate is a very serious, formal inspection, requiring certificated qualification.

UAV-Q0125. Use of radio resources by a UAV system ( ) a license from the Authority radio management department.

Explanation

The three certificates are the aircraft nationality registration certificate, the airworthiness certificate, and the radio station license. These are the three certificates all aircraft must have for normal operation.

UAV-Q0126. The manufacturer-written accompanying document, the UAV Owner/Information Manual

Explanation

The UAV Flight Manual (AFM) is written by the UAV manufacturer in the standard format of the UAV Flight Manual Writing Specification set by the industry association authorized by the Authority. It is specific to a particular UAV model and registration number, and contains operating procedures and limitations. The Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) must include AFM information and be submitted to the Authority for filing, and the relevant paragraphs must state that approval by the Authority allows it to replace the AFM. The UAV Owner/Information Manual is also a document written by the UAV manufacturer, containing general information about UAV manufacture and models. The Owner/Information Manual is not approved by the Authority and is not specific to a particular registered aircraft. It provides general information about aircraft operation, is not kept up to date, and cannot replace the AFM or the POH. By level of detail: POH > AFM > Owner/Information Manual.

UAV-Q0127. A UAV registration certificate is issued to the aircraft owner as proof of registration ( )

Explanation

A UAV registration certificate is the UAV nationality registration document, proving that the UAV is of this country's nationality, and it must be carried with the aircraft at all times. Note: except for the owner, a dealer with an unsold UAV will have a dealer UAV nationality registration document, which must be removed after sale.

UAV-Q0128. The meaning of rotorcraft flight time is ( )

Explanation

Rotorcraft flight time means the full period from rotor start to rotor stop, covering takeoff to landing, and reflecting the rotor working state.

UAV-Q0129. When a rotorcraft takes off and lands on an apron, its horizontal distance from other aircraft or obstacles shall be not less than ( ).

Explanation

When a rotorcraft takes off and lands on an apron, to ensure safety, it must maintain a horizontal distance of at least 10 m from other aircraft or obstacles.

UAV-Q0130. When loading, if the aircraft center of gravity is biased to the right, during cruise flight the aircraft's drag will

Explanation

A right-biased center of gravity causes lateral imbalance. The UAV needs to adjust the aileron trim tab or maintain continuous pressure on the aileron to offset it, which puts the UAV in a non-streamlined state, increasing drag and reducing operating efficiency.

UAV-Q0131. A helicopter may use flight at _____ height instead of taxiing.

Explanation

Basic Principles of Flight of the People's Republic of China, Article 49: ... (6) a helicopter may use flight at 1 m to 10 m height instead of taxiing.

UAV-Q0132. The meaning of flight time is:

Explanation

Civil Aviation Flight Rules of China, Article 80: flight time means the time from when an aircraft, in preparation for takeoff, begins to move under its own power from the loading point until the flight ends and movement stops at the unloading point. Takeoff time means the instant the aircraft begins its takeoff roll and its wheels move; landing time means the instant the aircraft's landing rollout ends. Helicopter flight time means the time from when the rotor starts turning until the rotor stops turning. Helicopter takeoff time and landing time mean the instants the main wheels (skids) leave the ground and touch the ground.

UAV-Q0133. Which is NOT a UAV recovery method ________.

Explanation

A roll is a flight maneuver, not a recovery method. UAV recovery methods can be summarized as: (1) parachute recovery; (2) aerial recovery; (3) landing-gear rollout landing; (4) arresting-net recovery; (5) air-cushion landing; (6) vertical landing recovery. In addition, some UAVs use non-whole-aircraft recovery, usually recovering the mission equipment bay, with the other parts not recovered.
