full set of 6 flight batteries and up to two controllers simultaneously, but it can take about
an hour and a half. If you have multiple chargers being powered by a generator, then you
can start charging each set of batteries as you finish with them.

Table 2: Operation capabilities and requirements for different numbers of chargers
Table 2.3 compares how much down time between periods flying you’ll have for different
numbers of chargers. On hot days, we recommend rotating in an extra set of batteries so
that the batteries will have a chance to cool down before being put on the charger.
2.4 Tarp
If you are taking off or landing from a dusty area, it may be useful to stake down a large
tarp over your landing zone to prevent the prop wash from kicking up dust.
2.5 Antenna Improvements
The Matrice 600 controller has a theoretical range of 5 km, but this is very dependent on
maintaining a clear line between the controller and drone. If the signal has to pass through
trees or other vegetation, then video quality will be degraded and range will be significantly
reduced. We recommend repositioning to maintain a clear path for the signal. There are
also 3rd-party controller modifications that boost the signal and allow you to position the
controller’s antennas on a pole, which may improve signal quality. We do not have any
recommended modifications.
