It is saftey-relevant to strictly follow the Quick-Start-Guide
FLIGHT PLANNING
Weather conditions
• Wind ground: max. 9 m/s (17.5 kn) (see picture)
• Wind in flight: max. 12 m/s (23 kn)
• Temperature: -12 °C to 50 °C (10.4 °F to 122 °F)
• Do not y in rain or snow.
Be aware that there is no software restriction between
1500 m – 4000 m regarding the wind tolerance (ground).

QBase software Updated
Mission planning in QBase 3D Check
UAV ASSEMBLY
Set up the laptop and open QBase Check
Set up the QBase modem and connect it to the Laptop Check
Set up the ADS-B receiver Check
Set up the iBase
• Micro SD-card is inserted
• Antenna center is exactly above the reference mark
• Not shaded by objects
• Stay away min. 5 meters
• Power bank is connected and powered
• iBase is recording (blue LED blinking)
Check
Turn on the RC Transmitter Check
Check the UAV for damages (e.g. surfaces, propeller) Check
Magnetometer Calibration (If required)
• Obligatory: ight location > 50 km away from the last ight location
• Calibration and take-off area is free of metal (parking decks, cars, metal structures) or
any devices causing electric or magnetic elds (power lines, generators, mobile phones)
Calibrated
to location
All parts assembled and locked Check
Remove the payload transport lock Check
Battery pack is connected (UAV will start automatically) Check
Take-off position
• Take-off from the UAV transportation box.
• Optional: Cover the ground with a canvas cover. Fix it with weights.

TAKE-OFF
RC and QBase Modem connection Established
Camera detected
• Camera > Trigger: Triggers and exposures count up in QBase and on the RC
Check
QBase nal Check
Obstacle clearance in reality
• No obstacle within a radius of 20 m around Home Waypoint
• Re-/transition, descent circle, flight paths: altitude 20 m higher than obstacles
Check
UAV heading
• Ensure the direction of the displayed UAV corresponds with the direction of the UAV on the ground
• Do not fly if the heading on the ground is not correct: critical deviation ≥ 10°
