C1 Spraying/Rinsing Flight Patterns
Lucid recommends 4 separate flight patterns for utilizing your C1 drone. These 4 patterns are broken down
into 2 separate categories.
Category 1 of these patterns is for spraying, cleaning or spraying a solvent. This category has two
flight patterns. The major differentiator with spraying patterns, is that the aircraft always starts the
pattern at the bottom of the building.
Category 2 of these patterns is for rinsing. This category also has two flight patterns, yawing and grid.
The major differentiator with rinsing patterns is that the flight pattern will start at the TOP of the building.
This way we can use the drones prop wash to accelerate the rinsing process.
Pilots may find one particular pattern more efficient than the other. The two patterns for spraying are broken
down by the YAW pattern and the Grid Pattern.
Let’s use the example of the Rinsing Yaw pattern to showcase this flight pattern. Starting at the top of the
building, we will slowly descend. As the aircraft descends, the pilot will rotate the drone left and right to spray
the wall. Once they reach the bottom of the building, they will ascend back to the top, roll slightly along the
wall and continue descending while yawing.
The grid pattern is much more simple and does not require the use of Yaw or rotation. Let’s use the example
of rinsing one more time. Starting at the top of the building, we will roll across the building. We will then
descend a few feet and roll the opposite direction across the building.
Again pilots may find one particular method more effective than the other dependent upon the type of cleaning
operation you are conducting. After flying the Lucid Drone for 6 months, the Drone U flight crew has found that
grid patterns allow pilots to have greater flight times. Albeit we are not cleaning specialists or chemists, so
pilots use your best judgment when choosing your flight pattern.
