Before Take-off

WARNING

: Those checks are absolutely imperative in order to fly safely

Before take off

1. Connect the battery and let the aircraft horizontal and stable until take-off
2. Switch ON your Windows8.1 device and connect to the aircraft via the Wi-Fi connection.
Your aircraft network should appear with its model version identification (LA200 or LA300).
Enter the default Password: “password”
3. Open OperationCenter and then activate the “Enable Wi-Fi” button

4. When you have seen the PopUp “Connexion Successful”, go to the “SYSTEMS” page and
wait for a 5 seconds BEEP (that will indicate that GPS satellites have been fixed. During this
phase, always keep the aircraft horizontal). The BEEP can come between 20s and 3 minutes.
5. Check all your aircraft systems: Artificial horizon (should move with the aircraft), GPS
(should be in GREEN, 3D), and Date and Time (UTC)
