After clipping a small branch, the aircraft still flies but vibrates heavily and sounds abnormal. What is the best action?
- A.Note it for maintenance after the remaining flights are done
- B.Land as soon as practical and inspect the aircraft before any further flight
- C.Increase power to smooth out the vibration
Correct answer
B. Land as soon as practical and inspect the aircraft before any further flight
Why
Heavy vibration after contact suggests propeller or motor damage that can worsen suddenly. Landing and inspecting prevents a minor contact from turning into an in-flight breakup or loss of control.
