A small UA's structure experiences a load factor of 3 during a maneuver. What does this mean?

Why: The Remote Pilot Study Guide states, "a load factor of 3 means the total load on an aircraft's structure is three times its weight." Load factor, expressed in Gs, is a measure of the stress a maneuver places on the aircraft's structure, not a change in its actual mass.

• Confuses load factor, a structural stress measured in Gs, with an actual increase in the aircraft's mass; the aircraft's weight does not change during a maneuver.
• Confuses load factor with airspeed; the two are related through the separate stall-speed formula, but a load factor of 3 does not mean the aircraft is flying three times faster.
