3.9.4. General Operating Tips
Please keep in mind: The UAV is not equipped with a sense and avoid system. The
operator is responsible for seeing and avoiding all traffic, persons, structures, and
obstacles.
We recommend two-person operations (pilot and observer). All sense and avoid is
done by the pilot and observer.
Try to avoid situations such as:
• Strong wind or turbulences
• Interference or lost data links
• Weak or shadowed GPS signal (“Shadowing” on page 123)
