CG check method

How should a remote pilot verify the CG of an sUAS after changing the payload?

  • A.Use the manufacturer's recommended balance check for that model
  • B.Assume the CG is correct if the aircraft sits level on a table
  • C.Check it only after the first test flight reveals a problem
Correct answer

A. Use the manufacturer's recommended balance check for that model

Why

Manufacturers provide a balance reference or procedure for each model. Checking CG on the ground with that procedure catches an out-of-limits condition before it becomes a flight hazard.
