2.2 Aircraft Inspection
The aircraft inspection checklist ensures that the ELIOS 3 is ready to fly. An inspection that includes all
of the items on the checklist should be performed before each flight and after having transported
the ELIOS 3. The preflight check is displayed on the tablet before every flight.You may also memorize
the mnemonic PEACE to help you remember the Aircraft Inspection Checklist (see below for
information on what each letter stands for in the mnemonic).
PROPELLERS TIGHT
Propellers are tight on the motors. Use the 1.4Nm torque screwdriver issued in the toolbox
to retighten the nuts.
ELECTRICAL MOTORS MOVE FREELY
Check whether the motors rotate freely to make sure that no dust, sand, or other particles
are inside them.
AIRCRAFT CLEAR OF DAMAGE
Visually inspect the aircraft to make sure it is undamaged. Pay particular attention to
carbon parts, propellers, payloads, and LED panels.
CAMERA LENS AND SENSORS CLEAN
Clean the camera lens and the sensors using the lens cleaner. Cleaning the lens and
sensors will ensure better image quality and better stability for the drone. Check the
camera lens for fog or condensation. If an additional payload with a sensor is mounted,
make sure it is clean. ( lidar payload for example)
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNDAMAGED | SECURED
The battery is fully charged, visually in proper condition, and secured with the locking
mechanism.
