2.5 Vertical Takeoff to a 1m Hover
Condition(s):
1. Syma X5 with remote control bound
Standard(s):
1. Perform a smooth, continuous ascent to a hover
2. Establish a hover altitude of 1 meters ± ½ meter
3. Maintain heading ± 10 degrees.
Crew Actions:
Pilot on the Controls:
1. Turn on the remote control power switch
2. Turn on the Syma X5 power switch
3. Announce “Clear on the Flight Line”
4. Announce “Coming Up” just prior to takeoff
Visual Observer:
1. Assist Pilot on the Controls by confirming that no other
flight crew is attempting to bind a remote control to a
Syma X5
Procedure:
The Pilot on the Controls shall announce “Clear on the Flight
Line” and announce “Coming Up” immediately prior to applying
throttle. The Pilot on the Controls will apply sufficient throttle
to achieve a positive climb through ground effect. The Pilot on
the Controls will stabilize the aircraft at a 1m hover. Avoid the
tendency to over-control the throttle. It is possible to maintain
aircraft altitude in a hover without adjusting the throttle.
If the aircraft becomes out of control immediately
lower the throttle to the full down position to
prevent burning out the small electric motors.
