## September 10, 2015 Brittany Newton, Program Analyst United States Department ofTransportation Airmen and Airspace Rules Division 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE West Building Ground Floor Room W12-140 Washington, DC 20590 Dear Ms. Newton,

# ~ QBE 

# NAU

We were disappointed to receive your letter Tuesday, September 8, 2015 notifying NAU Country Insurance Company ("QBE NAU") that our petition for an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations was not processed. Specifically, your letter states that our petition does not comply with the requirements of §11.81 and that we must give "reasons why granting the request would be in the public interest as a whole." In our original petition (enclosed), we stated the following: Granting QBE NAU exemption furthers the public interest. As an AlP for the USDA's Risk ManagementAgency, we partner with the American farmer year after year to ensure their success and the sustainability ofthe U.S. agricultural system. With our enhanced capabilities through UAS, we will execute faster service of claims, thereby shortening the gap from the insured claim submission to payment ofthe claim. This facilitates the cash flow ofthe American farmer and gives them the resources they need to plant and harvest their crops. By servicing the American farmer, we are keeping the supply chain of corn, soybeans and other crops constant to grain elevators across the country. This in turn supplies the flow of grain to companies that make thousands of products for the consumption ofthe American - and even global - population. The service we provide to the American farmer provides food security for millions. ADM Crop Risk Services, Inc. (also a crop insurance company) received an FAA Exemption on April 17, 2015 using the same public benefit language as QBE NAU provided in our FAA Exemption request. QBE NAU should be afforded the same opportunities as its competitors. We believe we have satisfied the requirements of §11.81 and ask that you reconsider your request and grant our petition for exemption dated June 1, 2015.

United States Department ofTransportation Docket Management System 1200 NewJersey Ave., SE West Building Ground Floor Room W12-140 Washington, DC 20590
RE: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act of 2012 Dear Sir or Madam: 

# QBE 

# NAU

We are writing pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (the "Reform Act") and the procedures contained in 14 C.F.R. 11, to request that NAU Country Insurance Company ("QBE NAU"), a wholly owned subsidiary of QBE Holdings, Inc. and an owner and operator ofsmall.unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") listed below so that QBE NAU may operate its small unmanned aircraft /lightweight unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS") commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"); as long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in section 333. QBE NAU is an Approved Insurance Provider (AlP) forthe Risk ManagementAgency (RMA) ofthe United States Department ofAgriculture (USDA). QBE NAU is a recognized leader in the crop insurance arena. Ourtechnological and innovative tools have made service to the American farmer quicker, cheaper and safer. The ability to use UAS more extensively 

## will continue that trend of innovation. UAS units will allow QBE NAU to map crop acres more efficiently and assess crop damage faster and saferthan ever before. To that end, QBE NAU respectfully requests the grant ofexemption allowing lightweight, remote controlled UAS. The FAA has the authority to issue the exemption to QBE NAU pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, 85 P.L. 726 (1958), as amended ("the Act"). The FAA has already issued grants ofexemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to the presented in our petition: Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial, 11109 to Clayco, Inc., 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC, 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc., 11315to The Climate Corporation, and 11367 to ADM Crop Risk Services, Inc. Both the Climate Corporation and ADM Crop Risk Services, Inc. operate in the crop insurance arena, and as such, envision similar usages ofsmall unmanned aircraft. Name and Address ofApplicant is: NAU Country Insurance Company Attn: Douglas Jakway SeniorVice President, General Counsel 7333 Sunwood Drive Ramsey MN 55303 Main Office 1.800.942.6557 Fax 1.763.427.6473 Email: doug.jakway@naucountry.com

## Commercial and Public Benefits Granting QBE NAU exemption furthers the public interest. As an AlP for the USDA's Risk Management Agency, we partnerwith the American farmer year after year to ensure their success and the sustainability ofthe U.S. agricultural system. With our enhanced capabilities through UAS, we will execute faster service ofclaims, thereby shortening the gap from the insured claim submission to payment ofthe claim. This facilitates the cash flow ofthe American farmer and gives them the resources they need to plant and harvest their crops. By servicing the American farmer, we are keeping the supply chain ofcorn, soybeans and other crops constant to grain elevators across the country. This in turn supplies the flow of grain to companies that make thousands of products for the consumption ofthe American -and even global - population. The service we provide to the American farmer provides food security for millions. QBE NAU Safe UAS Practices QBE NAU strives to practice the utmost safety for its employees, clients and customers. This endeavor would be no different. As QBE NAU logs more flight time, the experience will help us build better safety practices. Allowing QBE NAU to continue to fly in FAA airspace, we will continue to innovate and implement new safety standards. QBE NAU will continue to abide by these safety standards: QBE NAU will only fly its UAS in agricultural settings such as rural and country landscapes. By nature, our business is rural so we have no need to fly in urban and/or populated areas. QBE NAU will NOT fly near airports. QBE NAU only operates its UAS below 400 feet. QBE NAU UAS weigh less than 15 pounds. QBE NAU UAS have ability to abort flights ifsafety is breached or possibility ofdanger exists. QBE NAU UAS flights are short, lasting between 5 to 20 minutes. QBE NAU UAS utilize the "Come Home" functionality if UAS goes out of range. QBE NAU remote control pilots operate QBE NAU UAS by visual line ofsight (VLOS). QBE NAU lands its UAS units automatically if battery is below 20 percent. This is a built in safety feature. QBE NAU UAS are safe and easy to use. Our experimentation currently revolves around the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ (Phantom 2). The Phantom 2 gives us assurance ofsafe flight and will not adversely affect the public (see section above). Some ofthe general specs ofthe unit include precision flight, stable hovering technology, auto return-to-home and auto landing. Phantom 2 also includes self-tightening propellers, advanced power management and intelligent orientation control. QBE NAU UAS Procedures The pilot in charge (PIC) will be responsible for pre-flight inspections, maintenance, and if needed, repair. Pre-flight inspections include checking the propellers for any damage and insuring the motors are not damaged. Pre-flight inspections also include a check ofsurroundings including trees, power lines, wind speed, etc. If conditions are not safe, flight for that day will be aborted. Once visual inspection is complete, UAS pilots will start initializing sequences with UAS and remote controller. Ifeverything checks out, a lowflight (1 0-15 feet) is recommended first so PIC can check all functionality including all movements up/down, lefUright, rotation right and left. Ifthis low flight does not check outsuccessfully, UAS will be grounded until it functions properly. Low flight check will ensure unit is working normally before it is sent higher into survey height. Any problems or issues will be recorded and communicated via the chain ofescalation as outlined in the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual.

## QBE NAU UAS Technical Specifications QBE NAU UAS technical specifications are listed in the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual (see Appendix A). QBE NAU UAS Radio Frequency QBE NAU UAS operate using a transmitter frequency of 5.72GHz-5.8GHz. The operating frequency ofthe raoge extender is 2412-2462MHz. Phantom 2 controllers are FCC compliant. Extent of Relief QBE NAU Seeks and the Reason It Seeks Such Relief QBE NAU seeks exemption pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act of2012 and Part 11 ofThe Federal Aviation Regulations from 14 CFR part 21 and sections 61 and 91 detailed below. 14 CFR Part 21 - Requirements to Secure A,irworthiness Certificate Certificate exemptions should be given because ofsize, weight and operation areas ofthe UAS meet the level ofsafety necessary for exemption under Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. FAA has the authority to exempt aircraft from airworthiness certificate requirements under the Act (49 U.S.C. 44701 (f)) and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. 14 CFR 

## § 61.113 (a) and (b)- Private Pilot Privileges and limitations; Pilot in Command Knowledge offlight characteristics and the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), along with the ability to physically manipulate the controls ofthe UAS are the critical aspects ofthe operation. QBE NAU believes this can be accomplished with a private operator that has specific training on the UAS operated in accordance with the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual and has successfully completed required training. Risk associated with the operation ofthe UAS is diminished from the level of risk that is associated with commercial operations (Part 61 ). Allowing operations ofthe UAS by private pilots as PIC exceeds the present level of safety achieved by 14 CFR 61.113 (a) and (b). Furthermore, equivalent or better safety levels can be achieved since there will be no human beings on board the UAS and the UAS will be operated in an environment to minimize risk while in the air. FAA has authority to waive pilot requirements for commercial operations under 49 U.S.C. 44701(f). 14 CFR 

## § 91.103- Preflight Action QBE NAU PICs will perform preflight inspections in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual. These preflight checks include ground stations, controllers, range extenders and the UAS itself. Preflight inspections will also include weather and wind checks before flight and assessment of potential surrounding hazards such as power lines, trees, bushes, etc. 14 CFR 

## § 91.109 (a)- Flight Instruction QBE NAU seeks an exemption from 91.1 09(a), which provides that "no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." UAS and remotely piloted aircraft do not have functional dual controls. UAS flight control is accomplished through the use of a device that communicates with the aircraft 

# via radio communication. 14 CFR 

## § 91.119 (c)- Requirements for Minimum Safe Altitude for Civil Aircraft Operation QBE NAU UAS will be operated below the 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). Given the size, weight (less than 15 pounds) and speed ofthe UAS, equivalent levels ofsafety will be achieved.

## 14 CFR 

## § 91.121 Altimeter Settings QBE NAU UAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but may use GPS altitude read out indication instead; an exemption may need to be granted. Equivalent safety can be achieved by the operator as the UAS uses AGL height from its initialization or launch point. 

## 14 CFR 

## § 91.151 (a) (1)- Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions QBE NAU UAS have a short flight time of20 minutes maximum per flight and will be operated below the 400 foot AGL ceiling under controlled conditions as defined by QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual. All QBE NAU UAS will be flown up to the maximum of20 minutes or 20 percent of battery life, whichever comes first. UAS units have a built in safety that is achieved through battery monitoring. The aircraft system is built to alert the PIC of low battery life and will automatically return the unit to its take-off location before battery capacity is depleted. FAA has previously issued exemptions for fuel requirements in VFR conditions. Previous exemption numbers include 10808, 5745, 2689F, 

# & 10673. Given the small size and operational purposes of the UAS, it does not bear the same risks associated with this section's requirements. 

## 14 CFR 

## § 91.405 (a)- Maintenance Required This section and Part 43 apply only to aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate; therefore, these sections will not apply to QBE NAU UAS. Maintenance, preventative maintenance, rebuilding and alteration will be accomplished pursuant to the manufacturer's recommendations and the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual. UAS shall be free of mechanical issues and discrepancies prior to flight. If mechanical issues arise, flight will be terminated immediately. This standard exceeds that ofa manned aircraft which allows possible flight despite minor discrepancies that do not impair safety. QBE NAU, along with guidance from the manufacturer, shall be the most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. QBE NAU standard operation practices outline how to log maintenance issues and flight information. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because QBE NAU operates its UAS below 400 feet AGL. 

## 14 CFR 

## § 91.407 (a) (1) - Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, orAlteration This section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate; therefore, these sections will not apply. In the absence of regulatory provisions dealing with UAS operations, maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding and alteration, QBE NAU has developed operational standards to address this topic. Maintenance will be accomplished by QBE NAU pursuant to the manufacturer's recommendations and QBE NAU operational standards. QBE NAU UAS will be discrepancy-free prior to initiating flight and will be grounded if mechanical issues are discovered while in flight. QBE NAU will corisult the manufacturer regarding any discrepancies or damages to the UAS. QBE NAU shall be the most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level ofsafety. Furthermore, QBE NAU UAS will fly below the 400 feet AGL, which will add an equivalent level ofsafety. Maintenance schedules and logs will be documented by QBE NAU standard operations. 

## 14 CFR 

## § 91.409 (a) (1) and (2) -Inspections This section and Part 43 apply only to aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate; therefore, these sections will not apply. In the absence of regulatory recommendations, QBE NAU has developed operation standards to address this topic. Pre-flight and post-flight inspections will be accomplished by QBE NAU pursuant to the manufacturer's recommendations and QBE NAU operational standards. QBE NAU UAS will be flown free ofdiscrepancies and if mechanical issues arise during flight, the UAS will be grounded immediately. Flights will be executed under400 feet AGL and logged according to the QBE NAU UAS Standard Operations Manual.

## 14 CFR 

# § 91.417 (a) and (b)- Maintenance Records This section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate; therefore, these sections will not apply. In the absence of regulatory recommendations, QBE NAU has developed operation standards to address this topic. Maintenance will be accomplished by QBE NAU pursuant to the manufacturer's recommendations and QBE NAU operational standards. Maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding and alteration will be successfully accomplished by trained personnel. QBE NAU UAS will be free of discrepancies prior to initiating flight. If mechanical issues arise during flight ofthe UAS, the PIC will land the unit safely. QBE NAU shall be the most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level ofsafety. QBE NAU operational standards will detail howto log scheduled maintenance orflights that are performed. QBE NAU respectfully requests that the FAA grant its exemption request without delay. The FAA has the authority to issue the exemption sought by QBE NAU pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, 85 P.L. 726 (1958), as amended (the "Act"). Sincerely,

Doug Jakway, Senior Vice President, General Counsel NAU Country Insurance Company

## UAS Standard Operations Manual 

# Introduction UAS SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN QBE currently uses the DJI Phantom 2 class of UAS. All specifications are detailed in the DJI Manual Appendix Section 2 (page 48). Proper use of UASs for crop scouting and damage assessment is the goal ofour UAS program. This standard operations manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the DJI Phantom Vision manual at all times. 

# CHAIN OF ESCALATION The one flying the UAS system will be known as the Pilot in Command {PIC). Ifthere are any questions or concerns about operation, maintenance, or repair of UAS systems, they should flow firstto the PIC's supervisor 

## I UAS project coordinator. Once the supervisor 

## I UAS project coordinator have been notified, it is their responsibility to discuss next steps including troubleshooting or repair if needed. 

# SAFETY Safety is extremely importantwhen operating any UAS. PIC should always abide by guidelines stated below. Ifsafe flight cannot be assured, wait for another day. IfPIC is unsure ofany surroundings that could result in unsafe flying conditions, the PIC should always take the safe route and notfly. DJI Manual Section Flight (page 25) gives additional guidelines to ensure safe flight ofthe UAS. This section also details the go home functionality, flight limits and low battery warnings. Warnings should never be ignored as they compromise the safety ofthe UAS and any personnel in the immediate area. ALWAYS fly safe.

info) NEVER fly at night. NEVER fly nearairports or airfields. NEVER fly in urban or densely populated areas. NEVER flywith wind gusts that exceed 17 miles per hour (consult Weather Bug or otherweather ALWAYS fly UAS underthe 400 foot ceiling. ALWAYS fly UAS with hat and/or sunglasses to mitigate sun glare as conditions dictate ALWAYS heed batterywarnings or other UAS warnings that may occur duringflight ALWAYS flywithinvisual line ofsight {VLOS) ALWAYS have a second observerwith you to help scoutthe UAS 

# MAINTENANCE DJI Manual Appendix Section 3 (page 49) describes troubleshooting steps if issues arise. PIC should followthe chain ofescalation for any questions regarding UAS issues. Repair and maintenance issues will be handled by the UAS project coordinator in conjunction with the manufacturer as necessary. Neverfly with chipped or aging propellers. Itwill be the responsibility ofthe PIC to inspect propellers as part ofthe pre-flight routine check.

## DJI Manual Assembly 

## & Use Section 2 {page 7) describes proper battery 

# use, storage, charging and discharging steps. PIC flight logs will documentthe use and rotation of batteries. 

# PERMISSIONS AND PERMITTING Only trained personnel will be allowed to fly UASs for QBE. The definition ofatrained individual is one that has successfully completed the QBE training course. These include, but are not limited to the following: Successful completion oftwo dayorientation class (16 hours) Thorough review ofthe user manual forthe OJI Phantom Vision class of UAS Understanding ofthe operation standards set forth by QBE Successfully flown at least five crop scouting missions with training supervisor (8 hours) Flights will be authorized based on the need forthe technology. In the case ofQBE, fields that need flown will be allowed with supervisor authorization. Flights will be conducted for crop scouting in rural and/or country landscape areas with the goal ofsurveying fields looking for crop health and/or damaged acres ofthe field. All mandates in the safety section ofthis document will be followed while flying. 

# Flight OPERATIONS PRE-FLIGHT (see Appendix Bfor Quick Check list) During pre-flight, the PIC should visually inspectthe UAS. Pre-flight inspection would include checking overthe unitfor cracks in the plastic frame, unsecured wires and propeller movement is functioning normally. Avisual inspection does nottake long, but can help mitigate unsafe flying. Once a physical inspection ofthe equipment is complete, the PIC should survey the surroundings for obstacles either on the ground or in the air. Obstacles may include power lines, trees, bushes, etc. PIC must assess surroundings before flightto mitigate any potential hazards. The point of launch and landing needs to be level and free of debris. Ifthese conditions cannot be 

# met, flight should be scheduled for another day. Everytake-off location will change, the UAS will need to be re-calibrated. DJI Manual Flight Section 1 (page 25) ofthe manual details howto do the compass calibration and when to do it.This process of re -calibration will ensure correct flying and mitigate any safety concerns. Once a pre-flight inspection ofthe UAS and surrounding area are complete, it is time to fly what we can call the systems check. A systems check is the last process to ensure thatthe UAS is functioning properly before it goes offto execute a mission. Before a systems check is performed, take offofthe UAS should occur downwind ofthe PIC at a comfortable distance oftwentyto twenty five feet. This will ensure a safe take offand mitigate the risk ofthe UAS flying at the PIC upon take off. A system check entails bringing the UAS up to aflight height ofaround ten to fifteen feet in the air and then to a hold position. Once it passes the hold position test, the PIC will do small movements at this low aJtitude to check left, right, forward and backward movements. Once the UAS passes this 

# test, the PIC will do small movements of up, down, rotate right and rotate left. Doing these movements at low altitude will ensure the integrity ofthe unit before itflies higher orfartherfrom the PIC. This system check at a lower altitude is also safer because it is an opportunityto identify an issue or problem before the main flight begins.

# OPERATIONS FLIGHT (see Appendix Cfor Quick Check list) QBE UASs will fly in rural settings and underthe 400foot ceiling. According to the DJI Manual Flight Section 6 (page 30}, the PIC should be continually be aware oftheir surroundings as the flight continues. Maintainingvisual line ofsight (VLOS), will help ensure agood flight. Ifat any time the circumstances change with the UAS orthe surrounding environment that pose an unsafe situation forthe UAS or persons present, the PIC should land the UAS immediately. According to the DJI Manual Section Flight (page 25), the PIC should be familiar with all UAS functionality including, but not limited to takeoff/landing procedures, failsafe functions, low battery capacity warnings and flight limits. Knowledge ofthese will allowthe PIC to accomplish flights quickly and safely. 

# OPERATIONS POST-FLIGHT (see Appendix Dfor Quick Check list) Once the PIC lands the UAS, he/she should look overthe unitto inspect for any compromise to its integrity while in the air. This would be a physical inspection much like the pre-flight examination. Flight information should be recorded for proper documentation purposes. Documentation would include, but is not limited to date, weather conditions, claim numberand which battery pack was used. Flight information will also track preventive maintenance on the UAS such hoursflown, propeller replacement, battery usage and count, etc. (See Appendix E) Battery usage should be monitored and rotated among several batteries. All batteries should be charged/discharged perthe DJI Manual Assembly 

## & Use Section 2.5 (page 10). This will ensure longer lasting battery life and safe flights forthe UAS. Batterystorage and use should be monitored closely to maintain the best possible safety. Proper disposal atthe end of life forthe batteries will be monitored as well. This is a safety and environment issue that QBE takes seriously.

If the stick is centered, the Phantom will fly straight The more the stick is moved, the faster the Phantom will rotate. Vertical movements on the right stick control forward and backward pitch. Push up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The Phantom will hover in place ifthe stick is centered. Push the stick further for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35") and fasterflight Horizontal movements on the right stick control left and right pitch. Push leftto fly left and rightto fly right. The Phantom will hover in place ifthe stick is centered. · Push the stickfurtherfor alarger pitch angle (maximum 35") and fasterflight. Left Dial: Turn the dial to the right, and the camera will shift to point upwards.Turn the dial to the left, and the camera will shift to point downwards. The camera will keep its current position ifthe dial is static. The S1 switch is used for compass calibration. Toggle the S1 from position 1to position 3 and back approximately 5 times to enter into compass calibration mode. In Naza-M mode, the S1 switch is used to switch between control modes and enter compass calibration. S2 is used to record a Home point manually. After a Home point has been recorded automatically, flipping S2 from position 1to position 3 and back 5 times (or more) rapidly will move the Home pointto the Phantom's current location. In addition, you can enable Dynamic Home Pointfeature in DJI VISION App. In Naza-M working mode, S2 is be used for IOC.Assembly and Use

### 3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-point error? Appendix

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC and the Phantom will nottake off. The below are some possible fixes forthis. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to adeviation inthe mid-point position. Solution: UseAssistantto perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through their complete travel range to see if any slick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cycle the Phantom 2Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. Ifthe above solutions do notsolve your issue, please send your Remote Controllerto OJI Customer seNicefor repair. 

### 3.2 Howto restore avideo file ifpower isturned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about30 seconds for the video file to be restored. 

### 3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

### 3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is outof sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and thatyou are familiarwith the procedure for regaining control. 

### 3.5 Wi-fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double check the currentWi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device rnay be connecting to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2Vision+. 

### 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices do not supportthe synchronization ofthe 1 08Di60video files.

### 3.9 SomeAndroid devices have aproblem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-R Extender. Solution: Some Android devices do notallowfor both aWi-R connection and amobile data connection at the same time. When trying to connect to the Phantom 2Vision+ Wi-R network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiR network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings 

### -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored. 

### 3.10App tips for mobile devices. Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

### 3.11 Howto land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: Rrst pull the throttle stick position down to lowerthan 5%, then execute the

## esc command to stop the motors. 

### 3.12 Why is the discharge time ofa battery not zero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is why the dischargetime ofa new battery is notzero. The battery is okayto use. 

### 3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

### 3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station forfuture use. 

### 3.15 What if I accidently exit OJI Vision App in ground station mode? If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraftwithin 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.
