Study Notes
Pre-Flight Settings and Checklist
- Takeoff into the wind for more lift and to avoid being pushed forward into the ground in case of a gust of wind.
- Ensure pilot and drone have the same orientation to avoid confusion in case of an emergency.
- Takeoff up and away, and perform a quick control sweep to check for adequate aircraft response and no latency.
Safety Settings
- Ensure obstacle avoidance brake is on.
- Set return to home altitude (e.g. 246 ft) before every flight.
- Set mobile return to home when not flying over water.
- Conduct a compass calibration whenever moving more than 20-30 miles from the previous location, away from metal objects, and on an organic surface.
Battery Test and Information
- Perform a battery test by going to Advanced Safety settings, then Battery Info, and checking the battery voltage (should not drop below 3.6 volts).
- Access battery information by going to the top right corner, clicking the three dots, then Safety, and finally Battery Info, where you can view various cells and battery details.
General Tips
- Always check and set the necessary settings before every flight.
- Be aware of the location of settings and features in the app, as they may not be where you expect them to be.
- Practice and familiarity with the aircraft and app are essential for safe and successful flights.
Pre-Flight Settings and Checklist
- Take off into the wind to increase lift and prevent gusts from pushing the drone forward.
- Ensure pilot and drone have the same orientation to avoid confusion during emergencies.
- Perform a quick control sweep after takeoff to check aircraft response and latency.
Safety Settings
- Activate obstacle avoidance brake to prevent accidents.
- Set return to home altitude (e.g., 246 ft) before every flight.
- Use mobile return to home when flying over land, not water.
- Calibrate the compass when moving 20-30 miles from the previous location, away from metal objects, and on an organic surface.
Battery Test and Information
- Conduct a battery test in Advanced Safety settings, checking the battery voltage (should not drop below 3.6 volts).
- Access battery information in the top right corner, under Safety, and view cell and battery details.
