USI FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE 2026/2027 | PRACTICE QUESTIONS, VERIFIED
ANSWERS & COMPREHENSIVE EXAM REVIEW
System do not operate within a vacuum, but are surrounded in influenced by the environment. When
describing a system's involvement, we can use the following three lenses: - correct answer
✔✔Operational, regulatory, organizational environments
Key performance advantages of a remotely piloted aircraft system: - correct answer ✔✔Low-level flight
High-endurance flight
Ultra-high altitude flight
TF: Remotely piloted aircraft systems sometimes require additional crew members other than the pilot. -
correct answer ✔✔True
6 components of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System: - correct answer ✔✔Air vehicle, payload, control
element, datalink, human element, and support element
What technology developed as a result of Inertial Navigation System (INS) lead to technology used
today? - correct answer ✔✔Global Positioning System (GPS)
Common classification for unmanned aircraft systems - correct answer ✔✔Gross Takeoff Weight (GTOW)
What happens when a remotely piloted aircraft system loses link between the ground control station
and the air vehicle? - correct answer ✔✔The remotely piloted aircraft system executes preprogrammed
logic
TF: remotely piloted, aircraft systems are more reliable than traditional aircraft - correct answer ✔✔False
What is the role of the RPIC whose aircraft is preprogram to execute commands? - correct answer
✔✔Evaluates the situation and makes timely decisions
UAS # of DoF? - correct answer ✔✔6
TF: air density is directly related to the generation of airfoil thrust? - correct answer ✔✔False
What are avionics? - correct answer ✔✔The electronic components inside an air vehicle including
sensors, navigation systems, and communication systems
Closed Loop control system - correct answer ✔✔Allows the system to continuously adjust itself based on
real time feedback, making it more responsive and adaptable to changes in the environment or other
factors that may affect the system's performance
The distribution of aircraft weight affect location of the - correct answer ✔✔Center of gravity
During operation of an unmanned vehicle, load factor and the stress on the wings or rotors may increase
when the - correct answer ✔✔Aircraft is subjected to maneuvers other than straight and level flight
