Magnetometer Calibration
(If required)
•
Obligatory: flight location > 50 km away from the last flight location
•
Calibration and take-off area is free of metal (parking decks, cars, metal structures) or
any devices causing electric or magnetic fields (power lines, generators, mobile phones)
Calibrated

Check
Take-off position
•
Take-off from the UAV transportation box.
•
Optional: Cover the ground with a canvas cover.
Fix it with weights.

Obstacle clearance in reality
•
No obstacle within a radius of 20 m around Home Waypoint
•
Re-/transition, descent circle, flight paths: altitude 20 m higher than obstacles
Check
UAV heading
•
Ensure the direction of the displayed UAV corresponds with the direction of the UAV on the ground
•
Do not fly if the heading on the ground is not correct:
critical deviation ≥ 10°
