## Before Traveling to Site
|
||||
1. Determine Site location and Operational Boundaries, including altitude.
|
||||
2. Determine Airspace class and regulatory requirements to operate there.
|
||||
a. Flight of a Non-Micro RPAS in controlled (Class A-E) airspace requires:
|
||||
i. Advanced Operations Certificate,
|
||||
ii. Authorization from local ANSP (NavDrone app), and
|
||||
iii. An RPAS Safety Assurance from the Manufacturer

|
||||
1. Advanced Operations Certificate,
|
||||
2. Authorization from local ANSP (NavDrone app), and
|
||||
3. An RPAS Safety Assurance from the Manufacturer
|
||||
3. Proximity of Aerodromes, Air Routes, or any other cause of low flying aircraft.
|
||||
4. Check for any NOTAMs applicable to planned flight.
|
||||
5. Check Weather Forecast
|
||||
|
||||
## Site Survey
|
||||
1. Locate Obstacles in and nearby your operational area.
|
||||
2. Determine if and how you will be able to maintain a safe and legal horizontal distance from people not involved in the operation.
|
||||
a. Less than 30 meters requires Advanced Operations Certificate; and
|
||||
b. An RPAS Safety Assurance from the Manufacturer.
|
||||
c. Less than 5 meters additionally requires a parachute certified for use over people.

|
||||
3. Observe weather visually, via METARs, weather radar, and review forecast.
|
||||
4. Determine max distance that can be flown in VLOS, RLOS, and operational limits based on factors such as:
|
||||
a. Visibility and Cloud Cover
|
||||
b. Wind Speed and Turbulence
|
||||
c. Background (buildings and the sun can make spotting difficult)
|
||||
d. Interference Sources
|
||||
i. Large metal objects such as vehicles and building
|
||||
ii. Sources of EM radiation (transmission lines)

5. Review plans for emergency situations including:
|
||||
a. Flyaway
|
||||
i. Be aware of controlled airspace you are in or nearby
|
||||
ii. Who to contact if a flyaway could enter controlled airspace and have their ctc info on hand.
|
||||
1. For Control Zones and Terminal Areas ctc Tower, ACC or FSS accordingly
|
||||
2. For Class A, B and Airways, or when in doubt ctc FIC
|
||||
3. NEVER Contact via Aviation Radio
|
||||
b. Lost Link
|
||||
c. Alternate Landing Site

## Pre-Flight Inspection
|
||||
1. Check all antennas are secure and in good condition.
|
||||
2. Ensure that securing mechanisms for payload and batteries are in good condition with no cracks.

6. Insert battery, ensure it is secure, then power on the drone, confirming battery is charged.
|
||||
7. Ensure enough GPS satellites are received and there are no errors or warnings.
|
||||
8. Confirm Lights Function Properly, if applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Flight
|
||||
1. If possible, set the maximum altitude and horizontal distance, as previously determined, and desired RTH parameters.
|
||||
2. Initiate flight and test that all controls function as expected.
|
||||
3. Initiate mission, maintaining visual observation of the operation.
|
||||
4. Remember to keep an eye and ear out for other people, aircraft and wildlife.
|
||||
5. Be ready to pause or terminate the mission should you no long be able to maintain your legal or safety requirements.
