PRISM FLIGHT MANUAL
22
The flight controller system limits the maximum tilt angle, speed, and motor output to
ensure safe flight within operating parameters.
The operator should be aware of increased braking distance required as PRISM’s takeoff
weight approaches the 54.9-pound maximum, and should maneuver carefully to ensure
sufficient reaction time so that momentum does not carry the UAV into obstructions,
persons, or property.
The operator should be aware of the increased load factor present when carrying heavy
payloads, and should avoid high-speed maneuvers with high tilt angles. In most cases, the
UAV’s flight controller will prevent PRISM from performing maneuvers which may result in
a loss of lift or excessive stress to the airframe; however, users who have customized the
RPA’s maneuvering limits should exercise extreme caution.
The operator should determine the Minimum Obstacle-Clearing Altitude (MOCA) of the
operating area, and ensure that maneuvers taking place below this altitude are conducted
with due caution to prevent collision.
Operators should avoid descending vertically during calm air conditions. Lowering the
aircraft rapidly into its own rotor wash may result in vortex ring state, or settling with
power. In this condition, the aircraft may become unstable, or lose the ability to generate

WARNING:
Advanced users may elect to modify the flight and maneuver limitations in the WattsQGC
flight application. Damage to, or destruction of the aircraft resulting from modification of the
manufacturer’s default settings will not be covered under warranty, and Watts Innovations will not
be held liable for damage to persons or property resulting from these modifications.
