  Determining Groundspeed. Many different types of small unmanned aircraft and different ways to determine groundspeed exist. This guidance will only touch on some of the possible means for the remote PIC to ensure the small unmanned aircraft does not exceed ... groundspeed of 87 knots during flight operations. Examples of methods to ensure compliance with this limitation are: • Installing a Global Positioning System (GPS) device on the small unmanned aircraft that reports groundspeed information to the remote pilot, allowing the remote…

  reach that altitude. ROC is simply the vertical component of the aircraft’s flight path velocity vector. For maximum ROC performance, a pilot flies the aircraft at VY so as to achieve a maximum gain in altitude over a given ... period of time. Maximum ROC expedites a climb to an assigned altitude. This gains the greatest vertical distance over a period of time. For example, in a maximum AOC profile, a certain aircraft takes 30 seconds to reach…

  KEimpact = 0.0155 × 1.0 × (40)2 = 24.8 ft-lbs Once the applicant determines the maximum speeds associated with a horizontal and vertical impact, the applicant would determine the highest combination of these speeds the aircraft could achieve as a result ... typical failure in order to determine the maximum impact kinetic energy. The applicant should identify and assess typical failures caused by system or equipment loss of function or malfunction as well as those that could be caused by pilot error…
