If spraying with chemicals:
1. Wipe the drone down with a microfiber cloth
2. Use any necessary chemical or neutralizing agent to remove hazardous chemicals.
3. Wipe down again using clean cloth.
Professionalism is key when operating complex machinery or aircraft. As such, pilots and crew should always
plan for time to clean up the operations area after an operation. After a drone operation has been completed,
ensure to pick up:
1. Pack all drone equipment,
2. Pack batteries in a fire resistant container, store the batteries in a climate controlled environment.
3. Pack any auxiliary equipment
4. Pack any cones, pick up tape and ensure you leave the area as you found it.
Do not pack batteries or store batteries in your work vehicle. Do not leave batteries in direct
sunlight or extreme temperatures. It is highly recommended that you have systems in place to
properly store the aircraft and batteries.
Mission Planning & Scouting Job Sites
Cleaning companies often bid on jobs using various equipment and tools to perform their job. The Lucid C1
drone offers a strategic advantage to cleaning companies to offer a more efficient and safe means of
completing certain jobs. It is important to note that there are limitations when using drones to clean.
Oftentimes airspace could provide complexities and increased administrative time to complete jobs.
Lucid recommends that the pilot or Lucid Certified Pilot should participate in the bidding process, whenever
operations are considering drone utilization. Even if a job is awarded to the cleaning company, the LCP is
ultimately responsible for safe use of the drone. There may be jobs that dictate a higher risk profile and may
be too dangerous to use the drone. The LCP must ensure the drone’s use will still be executed with safety in
mind.
When bidding cleaning jobs, that require the use of the Lucid Cleaning drone, the estimator or bidder should
consider the following:
1. Location of the cleaning operation.
a. Is the location in controlled Airspace
b. Does the airspace offer LAANC access or autonomous airspace approval?
c. If the airspace is in a zero grid, will you have ample time to file for a Wide Area Authorization?
2. Building Type and Operational Environment
a. Even if airspace is clear and flyable, is the location sufficiently clear of obstacles to operate the
aircraft?
3. Logistics of Drone Operations
a. Will you have sufficient access to water?
b. Will you be able to access the operational area with ease
c. Will you be able to have your pump or vehicle close enough to the operation to use the Lucid C1
drone?
4. Weather conditions
a. Consider time of year, temperatures and potential wind.
