PROCEDURES

Removing the Nexus i2 PRS:

Make sure aircraft and Nexus i2 PRS power is turned off before removing the Nexus i2 PRS. To remove the Nexus i2 PRS, unplug the USB-C from 
the unit and un-clip the quick compression clamp, remove the system.

System Operation Notes During Flight:

1)   The Nexus i2 PRS can be used in any of the aircraft’s flight modes such as GPS or Sport Mode.

2)   The Nexus i2 PRS can be used with the aircraft’s landing gear up or down, but aggressive and acrobatic flight should be performed
       with the landing gear up.

3)   The aircraft with Nexus i2 PRS needs to be at a minimum altitude of 35.97 m (118 Ft) to have a successful deployment and recovery in any 

failure scenario, the average recoverable altitude for automatic deployments during ASTM F3322-18 testing was 23.47 m (77 Ft). At altitudes
below 35.97 m (118 Ft) a 100% successful deployment is not guaranteed – operators should take this in to account when planning their
operations.

4)   The Nexus i2 PRS should be completely powered down and rebooted upon every landing.

5)   The Nexus i2 PRS will continue to function and maintain the ability to deploy both automatically and manually in the event of loss of power 

from the aircraft’s USB port. In the event of loss of power to the Nexus i2 PRS the operator will be notified via audible tones from the Nexus 
MTD that there is a power fault.  The operator should approach and land immediately at the nearest safe landing zone designated in their 
CONOPS to troubleshoot the system.
