3. OUTDOOR FLIGHT TRAINING
3.1 Prepare the Aircraft for Flight
Condition(s):
1. Given a Precision RDASS with checklist.
Standard(s):
1. Install, secure, inspect, and inventory all mission
equipment.
2. Prepare the aircraft, flight tablet, ground station, and
remote controller for the assigned mission in accordance
with the checklist
Procedure:
In accordance with the checklist, prepare the Flight Tablet and
Ground Station for flight by verifying sufficient battery voltage,
installing the antenna, and connecting the cable. Place the
aircraft up-side down on a non-abrasive surface to check
security and condition of the landing gear, Gimbal, Camera, and
HDMI Ribbon Cable. Place the aircraft upright on a level non-
metallic surface to install the antenna and check the motors and
rotor blades. Verify the flight worthiness of the RDASS by
checking the security and condition of the rotor blades. If the
rotor blade(s) are damaged, replace the rotor blade(s) in
accordance with Aircraft Flight Manual. Prepare the radio
controller for flight by placing all switches in their nominal
position (down and away), verifying sufficient battery voltage,
and confirming trims are zeroed.
Training and Evaluation Requirements:
1. Training. Training will be conducted using the aircraft
2. Evaluation. Evaluation will be conducted using the aircraft.
Launching aircraft from a metallic service can
give erroneous magnetometer readings which
may result in uncontrolled flight.
