What does yawing cause the UAS to do?

• A. Pitch up
• B. Change direction
• C. Accelerate
• D. Descend

Answer: (B)

Yaw is rotation about the vertical axis, which changes the aircraft’s heading. When you yaw, the drone’s nose turns left or right, so its direction of travel changes as it reorients toward a new path. It doesn’t by itself raise or lower altitude (that’s controlled by pitch and throttle) or inherently speed up or slow down. You yaw to face a new direction, then pitch forward to move in that direction.
