**1.3 Risk management**  **7** R isk assessments shall be personally conducted by the Operations Director for any activity that falls outside the stringent requirements of the Operation s Manual (i.e. there is a variance on a required operating procedure).

SUA p ilots shall conduct a risk assessment prior to flight operations. This too shall be recorded on UAVC Form 2 (See Ap pendix D ). The following matrix identifies the relationship between the different componen ts of risk management that shall be used by The Company:

**Risk Management Risk A**  **ssessment Risk A** **nalysis Hazard Identification and A** **naly sis**  **Risk Estimation Risk and A** **LA RP**  **8 Evaluation**  **Risk Reduction Risk A** **cceptance Risk Communication**  Tolerable risk shall be determined by the search for absolute safety contrasted against factors such as: a) T he inherent safety hazards of operating UAV; b) Available resources; c) T he conventions of the society where flight operations are taking place; and d) Cost effectiveness. It follows that there is therefore a need to continually review the tolerable risk that underpins the concept behind UAV flight operations in a particular environment. Tolerable risk shall be achieved by the iterative process of risk assessm ent (risk analysis and risk evaluation) and risk reduction using the following procedure: a) I dentify the likely affected individuals or property where a risk has been identified; b) I dentify the intended use and assess the reasonably foreseeable misuse of t he activity, procedure or equipment; c) I dentify each hazard (including any hazardous situation and harmful event) arising in all stages of the process; d) E stimate and evaluate the risk to each identified user or group; e) J udge if

t hat risk is tolerable (e.g. by com parison with other risks to the user and with what is acceptable to society); f) I f the risk is not tolerable then reduce the risk until it becomes tolerable.

## Ap **pendix B: Technical Description DJI**  **Phantom 2**
**B.1 Description**  The Phantom 2 features the same compact, highly integrated design, but comes with FPV flying and aerial cinematography support right ou t of the box. It is unbelievably easy to fly. Combined with smooth, stabilized footage from the H3
- 3D gimbal, aerial cinematography and videography has never been easier. It’s light, rugged and perfect for travel. The built
- in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft’s functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards), Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller contains the MC (Main Controller), IMU, GPS, com pass, receiver. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built
- in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote controller and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modules togeth er. **B.2 Flight parameters**  **Serial Item**  **Data Remarks**  **Dimensions** 1 Ta ke Off We ight 1.3 kg MAX 2 Total We ight 1000 g 3 Power Battery LiPo (3 S, 5200m Ah ) 11.1 V 4 Charging Environment Range 0

## Am **endment record Management of Operations Manual amendments**  The Operations Manual shall be subject to a formal annual review, however this does not preclude amendments being made within the year for reasons of organizational change, operational safety and efficiency or for editorial purposes. As amendments are made to this Operations Manual they will be given a number, and the date and general details of

t he amendment shown in the table below. T he amendment will also be shown on the cover page of the Operations manual by the inclusion under the edition date of the phrase ‘incorporating amendment number(s) 1 etc.’ As the annual fo rmal reviews are completed new editions may be issued. Amendments up to the date of

t he new edition will b e incorporated into the new edition and the amendment record table cleared. Recording of a mendments will then start again until a further review is carried out.
