AVMG 2050 Midterm Review
Marconi-some of his work and how it has contributed to drones now - correct answer ✔✔-Worked with
radio waves
-paved the way for modern radio and the transmission capabilities used to remotely control a range of
systems, including unmanned aircraft
50's and 60's advanced unmanned aircraft one built by Lockheed, designed to be carried by the SR 71
(T or F) - correct answer ✔✔"It was around this time that more stealth techniques began to surface with
advanced aircraft such as the Lockheed D-21, originally designed to be released from a piggyback
position on a SR-71"
2 pilot optional planes in WW11 used for bombing - correct answer ✔✔-optionally piloted aircraft (OPA)
designed to be flown by human pilots until set on target at which time crews abandoned the aircraft but
had very limited success
-used modified B-17s called BQ-7s to deliver high quantities of explosives to targets
-used modified B-24s called BQ-8s for the same purpose
-Joseph Kennedy, brother of John F Kennedy died in a failed attempt
-the navy did this with helicopters
RQ1 prior to predator and the other one (before the predator 89) (T or F) - correct answer ✔✔-General
Atomics GNAT-750 is the precursor to the RQ-1 predator (89)
-RQ-1 (95) designed to collect intelligence and later was armed for target engagement
-armed version known as MQ-1
Transformation technology developed by the military for public use - correct answer ✔✔-as technology
associated with military UAVs became more sophisticated it caught the attention of civilian innovators
-tactical to transformational
-precision ag, communications, utilities inspection, firefighting, search and rescue, and even for delivery
services
, Unmanned aerial systems distinction between systems and vehicles (T or F) - correct answer ✔✔-UAV is
now referred to as an aerial element of the overarching system
-UAS(unmanned aerial system) was adopted to describe the composite array of systems composing the
total system
-UAS(Unmanned aircraft system)- represents the vehicle
FAA recognizes UAS and sUAS (platforms under 55lbs)
FAA modernization and reform act 2012, what it did? (T or F) - correct answer ✔✔-the FAA was
mandated to integrate UAS into the NAS so they had to start creating standards, safeguards, and
regulations
Visual line of sight method of flying vs other ways of flying (T or F) - correct answer ✔✔-Visual line of
sight (VLOS) and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
-VLOS operational method in which the UAS is kept within visual perception of a remote pilot/visual
observer
-BVLOS operational method in which the UAS is operated outside of the visual perception range of the
remote pilot; in some cases this type of operation is supported through use of a chase plane or
technology
Two particular UAS operations (MC) - correct answer ✔✔part 91, recreational operations
part 107, non-recreational operations
Within the FAA reg's there are things that are directive for UAS only one answer is correct - correct
answer ✔✔-Part 91 general operating and flight rules required for all types of operations (sUAS remote
pilot)
-14 CFR part 107 operation and certification of small unmanned aircraft systems (non-recreational
operation of sUAS and certification of remote pilots)
Agl vs msl (T or F) - correct answer ✔✔-AGL the local vertical distance above the ground, regardless of
the relationship to actual altitude as measured above MSL; typically important in determining
relationship position to terrain and ground-based objects/buildings
-MSL "true altitude" above sea level; common reference frame for altitude measurement and indication
