2 Checklists
These checklists present proposed workflows to help to operate the ELIOS 3 system in a safe and
efficient manner.
2.1 Mission Planning Guidelines
This checklist presents the steps that must be followed while planning an operation.
1. Has the Method Statement been filled?
The Method Statement (MS) is a document specifying all the different steps that will be performed during the
inspection. The MS also specified all the required equipment needed to fulfill the mission. The “Method
Statement—Template” document is provided on our website as a template you can use to create your own
Method Statements.
2. Has the Risk Assessment been filled?
The Risk Assessment (RA) is a document specifying all the risks that can occur during the mission. The RA also
lists the mitigations that may reduce these risks. The “Risk Assessment—Template” document is provided on
our website as a template you can use to create your own Risk Assessments.
3. Is the environment in which the ELIOS 3 will
be operated safe?
The flight environment must comply with the limitations presented in the “Environment Awareness” section of
the Original Instructions.The presence of dangerous elements must have been stated in the RA and MS
documents.
4. Is there any hazard to the pilot?
If the ELIOS 3 is flying in environments that can present bio-hazards or chemical hazards (sewers, pandemic
areas, carcinogenic materials, etc.), the risk should be listed within the MS and/or the RA, and appropriate
measures must be taken (gloves, eye protection, mask, etc. to address the hazard.
5. Do you have adequate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)?
The following PPE must always be worn:
- Eye protection.
- Ear protection.
- Hard hat.
- Have protective gloves in vicinity.
You must be aware of the effects of operating ELIOS 3 in your working environment and dress accordingly:
- If the environment is dusty, wear respiratory protection.
- If the environment contains hazardous elements, wear the corresponding PPE.
Mission-specific PPE requirements and/or recommendations must be defined in the MS and/or RA documents.
6. Do you have the proper flight authorization?
If you perform an outdoor flight, depending on the area and on the country in which you will conduct your
flight, you might need a specific authorization. Research the airspace in which you plan to fly and contact the
aeronautical agency in your country as needed for up-to-date information.
