(see APPENDIX B & E) to ascertain all the information needed for a safe, secure and
successful operation.

The principle of Size, Shape, Surrounds, Surface, Slope will be used alongside the pre-site

like trees and high structures will also be considered to allow for the safe use of the RTH
function.

PIC is kept a minimum of 30m away from the landing/take-off location. The cordons used
will be appropriate to the location of the filming/photography, the spotter will help maintain
this cordon.
A cordon will also be maintained during flight to ensure no one beyond the control of the
RPAS CDR gets within 50m of the UAS.

Communication between the crew will remain within audible distance, except at sites where
two way radios are deemed necessary as per the risk assessment.
