PAD 4075 Exam 2 Module 4 and 5 Airspace, Regulation and Weather, Recreational, civil and Public UAs operation Paloads Why can the FAA tell me where to fly me UAS? - correct answer ✔✔1) Federal Law 2) Safety and Separation Safety and Separation two types: - correct answer ✔✔1) Instrument Flight Rules 2) Visual Flight rules Instrument flight rules - correct answer ✔✔Weather or other training conditions are such that the aircraft is being flown by using instruments only (without looking outside). Although there are lots of other requirements and technology involved, for sUAS operators the important thing to know is that pilots of aircraft (even at low altitude) are not always looking out the cockpit windows. Visual Flight Rules - correct answer ✔✔Weather conditions allow piloted aircraft to fly with very little or no air traffic control assistance by looking outside. For sUAS operators, this is important because piloted aircraft following Visual Flight Rules can fly just about anywhere, even into restricted airspace (and often do). It is also important because VFR piloted aircraft can fly as low as 500 ft. above ground level. Where can't I fly my SUAS in the NAS? - correct answer ✔✔- Not above 400ft - Not in Unauthorized airspace - Not over populated Where can I fly my SUAS in the NAS? - correct answer ✔✔1) Below 400ft AGL 2) Within Line of Sight (LOS) 3) UAS Test sites 4) Within Unrestricted Airspace Six types of airspace - correct answer ✔✔Class A - Above 18,000' MSL (Mean Sea Level) Class B - Located above large, busy airports and arranged like an upside down wedding cake, typically with three layers. The layers form a stepped inverted cone. Class B airspace only exists over "Busy" or "Big" airports. Class C - Located above airports with active Approach and Departure control, but not busy enough for Class B designation. Also arranged as a two tier upside down wedding cake. Class C airspace exists over "City" airports. Class D - Located in a cylinder above smaller airports that still maintain an active air traffic control tower. Class E - Class E is the 'filler' airspace and extends from 1,200' AGL to the bottom of Class A airspace at 18,000' MSL. Class G - This is what is called 'uncontrolled' airspace, and extends from the surface to 700' AGL or 1,200' AGL. Airspace Sectional Chart Markings: - correct answer ✔✔Class A: No typically marked Class B: Marked by Thick Blue Lines at Perimeter Class C: Marked by Thick Magenta Lines at Perimeter Class D: Marked by Dotted Blue Line Class E: When the Floor is 1,200 not marked Altutude.

The community covers approximately 4 square miles Example of mission vs sortie: - correct answer ✔✔The UAS operator knows that OEM's fixed wing UAS can cover 2 sq. km. on each flight. The mission area (approximately 10 sq. km.) is broken down into six flights from the fixed wing UAS. Each individual flight of the UAS is a sortie, therefore it will take six sorties to accomplish the mission. Mission Driven Operations: Mission - correct answer ✔✔1) Specific tasks or taks to be accomplishes 2) A specific location 3) The duration of the mission 4) A deadline to accomplish tasks 5) Distribution or dissemination instructions These are payloads that can be swapped out for one another - correct answer ✔✔Interchangebale payloads Example of a UAs that has interchangeable payloads: - correct answer ✔✔- The Lynx UAS is designed with an interchangeable payload bay, allowing users to drop in any payload in the field Example of a UAS that has a fixed payload: - correct answer ✔✔- The DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus has a fixed, integrated HD camera installed. It is not designed to be removed or changed. Example of a UAS that has a Semi-interchangeable payload: - correct answer ✔✔The 3DR Iris+ has mounting points and wiring pre- installed to permit a wide variety of payloads - but these require some disassembly and reassembly to change. Mission driven operations: Environment - correct answer ✔✔1) What are the LRA's - Size, accessibility, overhead obstacles 2) What is the airspace 3) What crew is available? -Who is available to work the mission? What UAS are they capable of flying safely? How many crew members are needed? If their is not sufficient space to launch or recover a fixed wing uas, the a multi rotor will be used instead T/F - correct answer ✔✔T Digital video camera: - correct answer ✔✔- common uas payload High definition (HD) cameras capture a video image of at least 1280x720 pixel resolution, ranging up to "4K" resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. Standard Definition (SD) video cameras capture video at 720x480 or 640x480 pixel resolution. In this context, resolution refers to the number of pixels in the image and is referred to as camera resolution or pixel resolution. - the higher the pixel count, the finer the detail in the image. This is related to spatial resolution in the image, but not the same concept. The higher the camera resolution, the higher the spatial resolution will be at a given altitude or range. Types of Digital video cameras: - correct answer ✔✔1) Garmen VIRB 2) Go pro hero These cameras are used to capture still images an store them on digital memory cards - correct answer ✔✔Digital still camera These cameras are typical consumer or professional cameras adapted and mounted on UAS a - correct answer ✔✔adapted consumer cameras These cameras are designed and built to fly as a UAS (or other aircraft) payload. They work the same as adapted consumer cameras, but offer better integration with autopilots and other UAS systems. - correct answer ✔✔Purpose Built UAs Cameras Types of Adapted consumer cameras: - correct answer ✔✔1) Point and shoot:Point 2) Mirror less cameras: a 3) Digital lens reflex camera: These cameras that have non-detachable lens assemblies and built in zoom features. Most have a built in camera flash. Examples include the Canon S100 and Canon SX260 - correct answer ✔✔Point and shoot These cameras offer enhanced sensors over the point and shoot variety as well as interchangeable lens systems. Examples include the Sony NEX5 and Canon EOS-M - correct answer ✔✔Mirroless Cameras four thirds The cameras have the highest quality sensors and the widest variety of interchangeable lenses. They are the heaviest camera variety, and are only used when photo quality is paramount over every other consideration. Examples include the Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D610 - correct answer ✔✔Digital Lens Reflex DSLR Cameras DSLR provide the highest quality still images so why use a lower quality camera as a payload - correct answer ✔✔- WEIGHT the amount of weight the UAS can carry beyond the weight of the airframe, components, and battery systems. - correct answer ✔✔Maximum payload weight
