- Load factor-turns - Describe what can affect the load factor on an aircraft. - Recall that increasing the load factor produces a requirement for increased lift, thus producing increased drag. - Gust loads, turbulence - Structural/power limitations Section 8: Radiotelephony RPAS type of operation Knowledge areas (topics) Sample learning objectives The RPA pilot operating within Canada must be able to: Basic Advanced Communications - Operator’s certificate (aeronautical) - (Industry Canada Operator Certificate – with Aeronautical Qualification course) - Interpret aeronautical radio communications (position, phase of flight). - Communicate using standard radio terminology. - Give an example of a routine blind broadcast. - List the contents of a routine call to ATC. - Give an example of an emergency (flyaway) broadcast. - Distinguish between “height” and “altitude” in communications. - Give examples of proper radio etiquette, including practices to avoid interfering with other communications. - Terminology - Common frequencies - Emergencies Crew member radios - Terminology - Give an example of an advisory describing a possible aircraft conflict. - Describe factors affecting radio reception range. - Describe the verbal communication elements in a positive transfer of control or visual following. - Reception performance Knowledge Requirements for Pilots of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, 250 g up to and including 150 kg, Basic and Advanced Operations — TP 15263 (PDF, 418 KB) Copyright © His Majesty the King in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Transport, 2024.
