Why is it important for a remote pilot to use the aircraft manufacturer's published performance data (such as data on climb, range, endurance, and landing) before flight, according to the Remote Pilot Study Guide?

Why: The Remote Pilot Study Guide states, "To be able to make practical use of the aircraft's capabilities and limitations, it is essential to understand the significance of the operational data. The use of this data in flying operations is essential for safe and efficient operation." It also notes that manufacturers' performance data is not standardized, so if a manufacturer hasn't published it, a remote pilot should seek out data already determined by other users of the same model as a starting point.

• Invents an FAA-standardized format requirement; the study guide explicitly says manufacturer performance data is not standardized.
• Narrows the purpose to operations over people only, when the study guide describes performance data as essential for safe and efficient operation generally, not a single operation type.
