## 1. Introduction

A. Purpose

This syllabus is intended to establish a consistent and repeatable program to train pilots to fly the DJI Multirotor products. The program consists of classroom instruction, 1 simulated flight, and 5 live

- fly events.

B. Prerequisites In order to begin this p rogram, pilot candidates must demonstrate manual remote piloting skills either from experience as a model R/C hobbyist or completing an RPA Pilot Training Program. Other pre

- requisites include an FAA recreational or sport certificate.

Pilot candidates mus t also meet FAA flight review requirements in a category and class of manned aircraft in which they have a certificate.

C . Permission to Operate Training will be conducted over private or controlled access property. Before any flight operations are con ducted, the instructor will obtain permission to conduct these operations from responsible personnel (typically the land owner or controller).

D. Security The safety and security of personnel on the ground are the priority. Prior to any flight operatio n the instructor will coordinate with responsible personnel to dev ise a plan of securing the area of operation from all unauthorized persons and vehicles. Provisions will be made to immediately discontinue operations should the area(s) become

unsecured or for any other reason in the interest of safety.

E

. Certification/Airworthiness

The instructor will assure the aircraft to be flown is in airworthy co ndition and suitable for training.

F

. Documentation All training provided will be documented. If additional training is required, additional space or the bottom/back side of the form will be utilized. The instructor's name and the date the training was provided in YYYYMMDD format will be included.

G

. Flight Conditions The UAS must be operated during the day in fair weather conditions (VMC). The aircraft may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the instructor. The aircraft must

remain within vis ual line of sight of the pilot or observer at all times. Surface wind should be suitable for student training.

H. Insurance If flying at an AMA/RC club, the Rupestrian CyberServices instructor will be responsible for determining insurance requirements to conduct operations and training and ensure all host airfield insurance requirements are met.PROPRIETARY INFORMAT ION

- NOT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE location , switch positions and function. The IP will launch the aircraft and demonstrate a normal climb. The student will practice basic flight maneuvers as described in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Pilot Training Guide

. The flight will continue with practice slow descent to landing then takeoff. Flight will con clude with a normal landing.

aD

- F02. F02 will continue to build on the basic flight skills the student was exposed to during

F01. Instructor will assist with safety checks, preflight and airworthiness checks. The IP will

also assist the student in la unch/takeoff procedures and will be prepared to assist or override the student by commandeering the controller. Each step in the lesson will gradually be the student’s responsibility with the IP intervening for safety issues. The student will practice ski lled flight maneuvers as described in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Pilot Training Guide

. The student will practice Return

- To

- Home modes. The aircraft will be recovered to a normal landing.

aD

- F03. F03 will continue to build on the basic flight skills the student was exposed to during F02. The student will lead safety checks, preflight duties and accomplish airworthiness checks. As in previous lessons, each step in the lesson will gradually be the student’s responsibility with the IP intervening for safety issues

. The student will practice advanced flight maneuvers as described in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Pilot Training Guide

. The student will perform maneuvers used to avoid manned aircraft. The flight will conclude with a normal landing.

aD

- F04

. In this fi nal flight period the student should be able to operate without supervision on all tasks through the end of period F0 3

. After the aircraft begins a mission consisting the number of waypoints at the IP’s discretion using the DJI App. If DJI UAS does not u tilize the DJI App, then the student will continue to practice advanced flight maneuvers as described in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Pilot Training Guide

. A lost link demonstration will return the aircraft to the Home/RTH waypoint. By the end of this period the student should feel confident in handling basic maneuvers and normal landing profiles prior to a flight evaluation.

aD

- S01. Simulator period one will be conducted on a desktop compatible RC flight simulator software. Crews will practice ba sic flight op erations using a similar RC controller that will be used in live flight events. Students will be introduced to the flight modes of the autopilot and practice aircraft direction and control maneuvers and gain initial flying performance exposure with practic e maneuvers . Launch, s traight and level flight, level turns, climbing and descending,

and hover will be flown. The student will identify and safely react to emergency procedures throughout the simulation. The student will also practice landings.

aD

- Q01

. The knowledge test is developed and implemented by the Chief Pilot and is reviewed annually.

aD

- Q02. The aircraft flight evaluation is a live

- fly training event performed by a company designated examiner. The evaluation will demonstrate proficiency in normal operations as well as an understanding of emergency procedures.
