What happens if a small UA is operated with its center of gravity (CG) outside the manufacturer's approved limits?

Why: The Remote Pilot Study Guide states, "Operation with the center of gravity (CG) outside the approved limits results in control difficulty." Compliance with weight and balance limits is critical to flight safety, and CG data must be frequently reevaluated as loading changes.

• Invents a compensating mechanism that doesn't exist; an out-of-limits CG is a safety hazard to be corrected by relocating or shedding weight, not something the aircraft's weight limit adjusts for automatically.
• Confuses CG limits with load factor, an unrelated structural concept; the Load Factor Chart's bank-angle-to-G relationship applies regardless of where the CG falls within its limits.
