Complying with all FAA, federal, and local regulations ensures a safe experience for
everyone. The FAA website provides resources for understanding which rules and
regulations apply to pilots depending on experience level, certifications, and licenses,
or use of the AV . See https://www.faa.gov/uas/.
NEVER fly the AV over people and/or moving vehicles.
NEVER fly the AV beyond the visual line of sight of the Remote Pilot in Command
(RPIC).
NEVER fly higher than the authorized 400 feet AGL restriction.
ALWAYS be aware of controlled airspaces and current flight restrictions.
ALWAYS exercise sound judgement and operate with due regard. As the Pilot in
Command, you are solely responsible for the safe operation of your AV.
ALWAYS err on the side of safety. If you hear or see anything that does not seem right
or looks dangerous, land immediately and log the situation!
ALWAYS thoroughly inspect the AV before each flight in accordance with the
preflight checklist, especially for damage before each takeoff and after each landing.
ALWAYS follow maintenance schedules and storage requirements as outlined in the
user manual, especially for battery packs and propulsion assemblies.
alter the AV or GCS in any way that would cause damage, loss of control.
Doing so would void all warranties.
Selecting the right location for the flight is critical. Find a space that is clear of tall
trees, hills, or buildings that may impair the GPS reception and possibly control of the
AV.
NEVER fly over an area that will pose a hazard for people or property beneath it.
Damaging property or injuring people with the sAU can have significant legal and
financial consequences.
4.9.3 IN-FLIGHT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
ALWAYS ensure a controlled takeoff, flight, and landing. Understand the system
controls and the user manual.
Use E-Stop only in the event of complete loss of control over the AV and
emergency situations. E-Stop shuts off propulsion and the AV immediately drops
from the sky.
