Post Flight Process
Once drone operations have finished, drone teams will have to properly dismantle and store the C1 Drone.
The post flight process is simply the inverse process of setup. Proper post flight procedures will be critical to
maintaining the drone over time.
Post Flight Procedures
1. Drone has landed
2. Turn off the ground based pump
3. Allow the sprayer to continue to run to release any pressure in the hose.
4. Turn off sprayer
5. Unplug the aircraft batteries and place them in a fire-resistant container
6. Turn off the remote controller
7. Disconnect the hose from the drone.
a. Ensure steps 2 & 3 have been completed prior to disconnecting the hose.
b. Disconnecting the hose under pressure will cause rapid discharge of water or liquid material
which could damage the aircraft or contaminate the pilot.
8. Disconnect the sprayer nozzle from the drone using the quick release
9. Detach the GPS antennas and place them in the remote controller case
10. Wipe the drone down
a. IF BLEACH was used in the operation, then spray the drone with bleach neutralizer during
cleanup.
11. Attach propeller guards to the arms, fold the props and put props in propeller guards.
12. Fold all six arms of the drone.
a. Pilots will find 2 red buttons at the mount of the arm.
b. Depress both red buttons to release arms and lower them.
13. Place drone in the carrying case
14. Place remote in the carrying case
15. Place sprayer in carrying case or other case.
Cleaning the Drone & Site.
After each operation with the Lucid C1 drone, it is recommended that pilots take time to clean up the aircraft.
There are various methods of cleaning the drone, they differentiate based on what chemicals or liquid was
used during the operation.
If spraying just water from the drone:
1. Wipe the drone down with a microfiber cloth,
2. Ensure no water is pooling or collecting in various areas of the drone.
3. Use cleaning putty on the drone to clean difficult-to-reach areas of the aircraft.
If spraying with bleach:
1. Wipe the drone down with a microfiber cloth
2. Use bleach neutralizer to remove any excess material from the drone.
3. Wipe again to remove any excess neutralizer
4. Still recommend using cleaning putty on the drone to clean difficult-to-reach areas
