You should expect to see questions that show you understand what happens when you change an aircraft’s balance, stability, and center of gravity. gross weight is reduced. 1: To avoid a possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet agl.

Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft.

Check your POH for specifics.
