Loading & PerformanceQuestion 90 of 100

Before flying a new payload on a windy day, where should a remote pilot find the aircraft's weight limits and performance data?

a.In the chart supplement entry for the nearest towered airport
b.In the legend printed on the current VFR sectional chart
c.In the figures published in the knowledge test supplement booklet
d.In the manufacturer's operating limitations and load charts

Explanation

Weight limits, center of gravity range, and endurance data are specific to the model, so the manufacturer's operating limitations and load charts are the authoritative source. Strong wind raises the power needed to hold position, which shrinks the endurance those charts predict, so the pilot should plan conservatively. Chart supplements, sectional legends, and test supplement figures describe airspace and airport information, not the performance of a particular aircraft.
