The following warnings refer to the UAV batteries:
• First warning (audio): “Battery weak, land soon” and a vibration of the
CTR. The voltage display on the Status Display starts flashing. The audio warning
is repeated every 20 seconds.
The battery voltage is ~ <= 14.4 V or the remaining maximum flight time is < 4
minutes.
Text on Status Display: BATTERY WEAK!
Text on tablet: Falcon Battery weak. Land soon!
• Second warning (audio): “Battery empty, land now” and a vibration of
the CTR. The voltage display on the Status Display is flashing.
The battery voltage is ~ <= 14.1 V or the remaining maximum flight time is < 2
minutes.
The audio warning is repeated every 10 seconds when the remaining flight time
< 1 minute.
The following warnings refer to the Cockpit battery:
• First warning (audio): “Battery weak, land soon” and a vibration on the
CTR.
Text on Status Display: CP. BAT. WEAK!
Text on tablet: Cockpit battery weak. Land soon!
The remaining operating time of the CTR display, shown as a percentage on the
Status Display, starts flashing. The audio warning is repeated every 20 seconds.
Note
The Intel Falcon 8+ takes many data points into account to calculate
the remaining flight time. These include, among others, the current
average power consumption, remaining charge of the battery and the
potential of one battery being depleted sooner than the other. Due to
this, battery warnings may appear sooner than expected or (when
suddenly reducing the average power consumption) even disappear
again. If in doubt, the pilot can check the battery voltage on the Main
Screen of the Status Display. It is advised to prepare the landing
procedure at 14.2 V and be on the ground at 14.0 V. Beyond 14.0 V, the
system may become unstable.
WARNING THE UAV MUST BE LANDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS
WARNING.
