PRISM FLIGHT MANUAL

The integrity of the electric systems are vital to the safe operation of this RPA. As such,
most of the electronics and electrical systems are housed within the body of PRISM.
• Inspect that the LED Navigation lights on each boom are functioning correctly.
• If a Strobe or Beacon light is installed on RPA, inspect for secure mounting and correct
functionality.
• Inspect all visible wiring for insulation integrity, shorting, degradation, or corrosion.
• Ensure that the 2 main power plugs are correctly secured to their housing.
• Any electrical contacts should be checked for corrosion, discoloration, or dirt/debris, and
any spots cleaned with a mild abrasive cloth and contact-cleaning solvent.
10.5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
10.6 REMOTE PILOT STATION
(i)
HAND HELD CONTROL UNITS
The handheld remote control is used to manually control the RPA flight path. The RPA
attitude and altitude is manipulated via 2 control stick gimbals. The unit has a number of
switches that change flight modes and can control other RPA features. The ground control
station is powered by a built in battery pack.
This unit requires little maintenance, beyond keeping it clean and free of dust. Particles
that get stuck in the mechanisms may hinder the smooth and free movement of the
control sticks.
• To clean, use a compressed air can to blow away loose particles and a damp cloth to
wipe it down.
• Inspect the Transmitter for damage or wear on the sticks, switches and sliders.
• Inspect the antennas for damage, and ability to remain in desired orientation.
(ii)
GROUND CONTROL STATION
The Touch screen tablet or laptop serves as the interface between the pilot and the
RPA. The PIC uses the device as a monitor to view real time video feed as well as RPA
telemetry. In addition, RPA settings and mission planning can be controlled through the
tablet.
• Inspect the screen for damage or cracks.
• Ensure that the tablet/laptop battery is able to hold sufficient charge.
• Insect the USB cable and plugs for wear or damage
• Inspect the duck antennas are in good condition and correctly screwed into their
sockets.
• Ensure the fan vents are clear of debris and dust buildup.
