ELIOS 3
3 – ELIOS 3 System specifications
1.2 General Guidelines
1. The pilot MUST be a Flyability Certified ELIOS 3 Pilot and, if required by local laws, hold
other drone pilot licenses or any other certification necessary to pilot ELIOS 3.
2. A damaged propeller may break in flight, causing the drone to crash. Pieces of the broken
blade can become dangerous projectiles. Replace a propeller if it is broken, cracked, bent,
or damaged in any way. Operators and surrounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.
3. A too large gap between the propeller tip and the duct will decrease efficiency and reduce
flight time. Replace propellers when the tips are worn down to an extent where the white
markings are no longer visible and in any case when there is visible damage or when they
have been used for 10 flight hours.
4. Debris can be ejected at high velocity when it collides with the propellers. Operators and
surrounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.
5. The pilot should always act according to his or her best judgment, focusing on the safety of
the people and the environment in which she or he is flying. The pilot MUST brief all
personnel attending or surrounding the flight about safety. While piloting, the pilot should
not move, as doing so may cause injuries due to slipping, tripping, or falling.
6. DO NOT fly over or near people or over or near moving vehicles. When operating outdoors,
always give way to other aircraft and watch out for low flying helicopters.
7. Operating the ELIOS 3 system for extended periods of time can be stressful, tiring, and
cause muscular fatigue. The controller is equipped with a hook that can connect to a strap.
Use the provided controller strap to relieve your muscles. Using the strap will also help the
pilot avoid dropping or damaging the ground control station.
8. Using the Flashing LED function on ELIOS 3 can be tiring and stressful to the pilot and
surrounding personnel. It may in some cases trigger a seizure in people suffering from
epilepsy.
9. The motors contain magnets that can disrupt the proper functioning of medical devices or
disturb certain electronic devices located nearby.
10. DO NOT use ELIOS 3 under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substances that may
impair cognitive abilities.
11. A proper risk assessment MUST be performed before every flight.
12. The pilot MUST always go through the checklists before, during, and after each flight.
13. ELIOS 3, like any remotely piloted aircraft system, must be operated according to the laws
of the country and airspace in which it is used. It is the sole responsibility of the pilot to be
informed of the applicable restrictions concerning flight near people, buildings, BVLOS
(Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations, or any other special types of operations that may
be prohibited or limited by law.
14. Use only parts provided by Flyability, genuine Flyability parts, or parts certified by Flyability.
Using other devices or parts in combination with ELIOS 3 (e.g., batteries, propellers, etc.) or
performing unauthorized modifications may result in the system malfunctioning and
might compromise safety and reliability.
15. Avoid any manual operations inside the drone’s cage while the battery is plugged in,
except for turning on and off the aircraft.
16. DO NOT wear jewelry, loose clothing, or loose/long hair when operating ELIOS 3 or while in
its vicinity.
17. Under no circumstance should objects, fingers, or any type of body part enter the drone’s
protective cage while it is armed (i.e., when the propellers are spinning), since doing so
may result in severe personal injuries and damage to the drone.
