Pre-Mission Checklist

o Ensure that all permissions are accurate and current: COA, NOTAM, Site Safety Plan

o Evaluate weather forecast and make sure weather conditions are suitable for flight

o Ensure the aircraft frame and all connectors are tight

o Inspect all electronic connections. Are connections properly seated? Are soldered joints 

clean and free of cracking?

o Inspect propellers to ensure that they spin freely.

o All batteries should be fully charged.

o Transmitter battery must be fully charged.

o Ensure sensors are calibrated and the right settings are loaded.

o Ensure the trim of the remote control is neutral position.

Before starting (each Flight)

o Once on site, the aircraft and its sensors should be inspected after travelling or being 

shipped.

o Check general condition of aircraft.

o Look for visible damage including loose connections, lose or damaged propellers, faulty 

connections or cracked solder joints, etc.

o The propeller must be in good condition and securely mounted. The rotors must spin 

smoothly.
o The flight battery and transmitter battery must be fully charged.

o Always turn on the transmitter first and then the aircraft.

o Ensure the selected channel on the remote control is free and that you’re within range 

of the transmitter.

o Ensure the GPS module has a GPS fix (6 or more satellites).

o Ensure that all sensors are calibrated.

o Different flight settings can result in fundamentally different flight characteristics. Make 

sure you are familiar with all settings and features.

o After starting the motors, make sure each motor is running smoothly, evenly, and 

without unusual noise.

During Flight

o Fly in a safe manner. The pilot in command (PIC) is charged with their own safety and 

the safety of the pre-determined flight zone.

o Fly carefully at low altitude while you make sure everything is working fine.

o Only fly within visual-line-of-sight (VLOS), using assistance of a visual observer (VO).

o Yield right of way to all power aircraft.

o Ensure the aircraft does not fly 400 feet above ground (AGL).

o Terminate flight after 30 minutes or when power is down to 25% whichever comes first.

Post flight

o Turn power off to aircraft first, and then power off the transmitter.

o Inspect aircraft for any damage.

o Inspect all electronic connections.

o Inspect he propellers for any stress, cracking, or damage from flight, landing or previous 

take off.

o Carefully store aircraft and LiPo batteries.

Flight Plan(s):

UAS Platform:

Hazard Analysis:

Prior to operation, GAUAV will develop a predetermined flight zone, gaining access and 

permission from any affected properties, organization, and/or persons. GAUAV will assess the 

flight zone for any potential hazards that hinder the overall safe operation of the UAS mission 

or flight plan.

Once on site, GAUAV will reassess the flight zone to ensure to identify any unforeseen hazards. 

Weather will also be assessed on a twice-daily basis on site and as needed with changing 

weather patterns. Flights will not proceed or will be suspended if weather conditions affect the 

overall safety of the mission or proposed flight plan. Limited visibility due to adverse weather 

conditions due to fog, clouds, winds over 15knots or lighting will suspend mission/flight plan.

Emergency Plan

In the unlikely event off an emergency, GA UVA will develop an emergency plan relevant to the 

specific flight zone and plan. Availability of emergency services, medical facilities, and relevant 

safety offices are listed below:

EMS: 911 (if available within Flight area)
OSHA Emergency: 800-321-6742 (Reporting telephone number for reporting imminent life 

situation or fatality).
