Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Emergency Procedures & Human Factors Questions › Question 19
Rising gusts begin pushing the aircraft around and position holding visibly struggles. What is the appropriate decision?
- A.Land promptly rather than waiting for conditions to exceed the aircraft's capability
- B.Switch to the fastest sport mode and finish the route quickly
- C.Gain altitude until the video feed looks steady again
Correct answer
A. Land promptly rather than waiting for conditions to exceed the aircraft's capability
Why
Gusts that already tax position holding are a sign the safety margin is shrinking. Landing early, while control is still adequate, avoids being caught by a gust the aircraft cannot handle.
