Question

Question #1

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Separation

2) Weather impacts on the ability to fly a drone

3) The Pilot-in-Command is in charge of a manned aircraft

The Remote-Pilot-in-Command is in charge of an unmanned aircraft

4) With the aid of a flight controller

5) A quadcopter is controlled by adjusting the rotor speeds

An airplane is controlled by adjusting the ailerons, elevator and rudder

Explanation:

1) Separation

Issues regarding controlled airspace and minimum safe altitudes that affects an airborne pilot's decision-making is called separation related issues

The concept of separation pertains to ensuring that an aircraft stays outside the minimum distance from other aircraft, obstacles or controlled airspace

Vertical Separation

The allowable vertical separation distance between two aircraft from  the ground surface up to 29000 feet is 300 meters

The allowable vertical separation distance between two aircraft above 29000 feet is 600 meters

Horizontal separation

Horizontal separation are required for two aircraft that are closer to each other than the allowable minimum vertical separation. Horizontal separation includes, procedural separation, longitudinal separation, radar separation and reduced separation

2)

Wind

When the wind speed is high, it limits the drone's ability to maintain its position drifting the aircraft to undesired direction of flight

Temperature

High temperatures causes the the drone's motor to work harder generating more lift force which lead to shorter flight times

Cold temperatures reduces the battery efficiency and can also lower the battery voltage below the critical voltage.

Precipitation

A drone's is not waterproof and flying a drone i the rain can damage the equipment

Flying a drone in the rain increases the difficulty in its operation especially in drones that makes use of cameras for their flight stability

Rainy conditions reduces the strength and control of remote controllers

There is reduced visibility of flight during rainfall

3) In an aircraft, the Pilot-in-Command (PIC) is the pilot primarily responsible for the safety and operation of the aircraft during flight

The Remote-Pilot-in-Command has the primary responsibility and authority for the operation of a remotely operated (small) aircraft system

4) A quadcopter maintains balanced flight by the information sent to control  the direction of the propeller and the orientation as well as the speed of the rotor controlled by flight controller through the electronic speed control circuit (ESC) to control the thrust, revolutions per minute (RPM) and the direction of the quadcopter

5) Pitch in a quadcopter is achieved by tilting to move forward

In an airoplane the pitch is controlled by the elevators

Roll in a quadcopter is achieved by increasing the rotation of the rotors on the one side and decreasing the rotor speed on the other side

Roll in an airplane is achieved by adjusting ailerons

Yaw in a quadcopter is the spin achieved by reducing the speed of the front rotor on the side opposite to the direction of the intended spin motion

Yaw in an airplane is achieved by adjusting the ruder and ailerons to turn the plane
