# SUMMARY
Skyview Films, LLC ( “ Skyview ” ) seeks an exemption from the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 61.113(a) and (b), 91.7(a), 91.119(b) and (c), 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.405(a) and (b), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b). The exemption will permit Skyview to operate a UAS over certain areas throughout the United States, while keeping documents required by the regulations at the ground control station and immediately
accessible to the PIC.



# BACKGROUND Over the past 20 years, the principals of Skyview have been separately in the business of
Commercial Video and Film for the Real E state M arket, Public Broadcast Television
, Video/Film Contractors, Tourism industry and Native American Documentaries for Federally Recognized Tribes in the US . With the introduction of the UAS technology, Skyview was incorporated and desires to offer aerial videography through the use of the
UAS Phantom II manufactured by DJI . Skyview h as 2 Phantom II units currently being registered with the FAA under registration numbers N735SF and N736SF. Skyview has plans to add 2 additional units, registered under reserved numbers N737SF and N738SF. Registration numbers will be placed in accordance with § 45.29(f) and will be as large as possible on the fuselage of the UAS.

Skyview has received numerous requests from real estate professionals, construction professionals and the motion picture industry for aerial videography services. Such
services ar e currently unavailable to these industries without the use of manned aircraft
, which poses a significant risk to the pilots and videographers participating in the video production. The use of UAS will eliminate the hazards associated with manned flight.
A dditionally, use of videography in the mainstream real estate market has been cost prohibitive, depriving the average homeowner the opportunities afforded more affluent homeowners: video “tours” of their homes and surrounding area for marketing and sales. Specific examples of missions that Skyview seeks to accept are :

## 2 | Page 

# (a) Videography of single family and multi

- family dwelling units

. (b) Videography of residential, high rise and commercial structures under
construction , including roof inspections. (c) Videography of t elevision programs on set and outdoors in a controlled
environment. (d) Videography of livestock in r anches and crop monitoring

. (e) Videography monitoring of dangerous sea

- life to protect beachgoers from large predators during migration season. (f) Aerial videography for visitor and convention bureaus and production of public
service announcements

.

Skyview’s chief pilot has extensive experience in the use of UAS technology in video production. Skyview has developed operational protocol, including minimum flight time
, training requirements and currency requirements for PICs to enhance the safety of UAS flight and integration of UAS in the NAS. Granting Skyview’s petition comports with the
S ecretary of Transportation’s ( the FAA Administrator’s) responsibilities and authority to not only integrate UAS into the NAS, but to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS's] in the national airspace system” under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act specific to the use of UAS's for real estate, construction and public interest functions. Skyview will conduct their operations in compliance with the procedures described in their operation manual and as otherwise directed by the FAA.

# PETITION FOR EXEMPTION **& DISCUSSION**
Petitioner, **SKYVIEW FILMS, LLC** , by and through its undersigned counsel, pu rsuant to the provisions of 14 CFR § 11.61 and Section 33 3 , hereby petitions the Administrator for exemption from the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 61.113(a) and (b), 91.7(a), 91.119(b) and (c), 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.405(a) and (b), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b).

Request for exemption from 14 CFR 61.113(a) and (b) §61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft. (b) A private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

Under current regulations, civil ope rations for compensation or hire require a PIC holding a commercial pilot certificate per 14 CFR 61. Based on the private pilot limitations in accordance with pertinent parts of 14 CFR 61.113(a) and (b), a pilot holding a private pilot
certificate cannot a ct as a PIC of an aircraft for compensation or hire unless the flight is only incidental to a business or employment. However, in Grant of Exemption No. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (Astraeus), the FAA determined that a PIC with a private pilot certificate

ope rating the Astraeus UAS would not adversely affect operations in the NAS or present a hazard to persons or property on the ground.

## 4 | Page 

# The petition of Skyview does not differ significantly from the situation described in Grant of Exemption No. 11062 (Astraeus) and Exemption No

. 11138 (Trudeau) . The petitioner plans to operate in the NAS over private property while also limiting access to the property at times he is operating the UA S . Given: 1) the similar nature of the Skyview ’s proposed operating en vironment to that of Astraeus and Trudeau , 2) the parallel nature of private pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial, and 3) the airmanship skills necessary to operate the UAS, the additional manned airmanship experience of a

comme rcially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for
the Skyview ’s proposed operations

.

The FAA in Exemption No. 11138 (Trudeau) recognized that given the relative size, weight, speed and operating parameters of the propos ed UAS operations and its accompanying reduction in risk to persons and property when compared to manned operations, these minimum requirements as stated in Exemption No. 11062 (Astreaus) should be reduced, but not eliminated. UAS operators still need to establish airmanship skills in order to meet the conditions and limitations listed below such as the ability to maneuver near but maintain specific distances from persons and property, respond to unexpected emergencies, or avoid objects as well as the abil ity to avoid potential conflicts with manned
aircraft. In consideration of the above, the FAA determined that there is an appropriate level of pilot flight hours necessary to qualify the PIC for the Skyview ’s type of proposed operations.

Skyview is res ponsible for assessing its operations and identifying any additional skills required to operate safely under normal and abnormal conditions. Normal condition skills may include the ability to maintain altitude, maintain VLOS, and navigational skills.
Abn ormal condition skills may include the ability to avoid obstacles, avoid air traffic, and respond to loss of link. In a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b), Skyview has established minimum PIC requirements, continued training and skills assessment and
eval uation by the chief pilot. Skyview Operations Manual requires all PICs to have a current third class medical certificate, and a private or higher pilot certificate, at least 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hou rs logged as a UAS pilot with a

## 5 | Page 

# multi

- rotor UAS a nd a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and
model of UAS to be used for Skyview missions

. Additionally, the PIC must accomplish 3
take

- offs and landings in the preceding 90 days and 3 return to home emergency procedures within the preceding 30 days for currency purposes.

**Request for exemption from 14 CFR**  **91.7(a)** §91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness. (a) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition.

Skyview’s aircraft will be registered but will not require an airworthiness certificate as contemplated by the provisions of 14 CFR part 21 or 23 so compliance with § 91.7 will not be accomplished through traditional means. Skyview will maintain the manufa ctures operating annual in addition to its own company operations manual. Skyview submits that compliance with the se operating documents will be sufficient means for determining an “airworthy condition”.

**Request for exemption from 14 CFR 91.119(b) and (c)**  §91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:

(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any op en air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft. (c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely p opulated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

Determination of a definition of “congested area” becomes a bit more difficult when dealing with UAS operation, especially where the UAS has a gross weight of approximately 3 pounds. It can certainly be said that a “congested area” would include areas where there is a concentration of people or traffic under the flight path of the UAS or where there is a
dense concentration o f buildings under the flight path of the UAS. There are areas,

## 6 | Page 

# however, within the traditional “congested area” for purposes of manned flight that would be inappropriate to exclude from the realm of UAS flight. Such areas would include: (a) C onstruction sites

– a defined and confined area generally protected from the general public where participating people (construction workers) are protected
from overhead hazards and work in an environment where such hazards routinely exist. (b) Residential dwelling units

– a de fined area that could be easily blocked to restrict the access by the general public. Participating people would be limited to UAS flight crew and homeowner/realtor. The superior maneuverability of the small UAS make them ideal candidate for operations in smaller confined spaces where larger certificated aircraft cannot maneuver

.

Relief from § 91.119 (b ) is necessary in limited circumstances such as construction sites or other venues where participating persons routinely operate in an environment where known hazards exist and they use protective equipment (hard hats and eye protection) for protection from those hazards. Additional precautions are stated in Skyview’s Operations
Manual:

“ Prior to the start of any operation under the provisions of t his manual, the pilot in command shall brief all participating personnel. The briefing will include: all procedures, the risks involved, emergency procedures, and safeguards to be followed during the filming production event. Personnel will also be briefed on additi o nal mission provisions that may be issued by the FAA Representatives, local law enforcement p ersonnel, the chief pilot or other individual that has geographic responsibility for the operational area, including the location of boundaries or time limits. The briefing shall specifically include:

• Authorization for video certificate of waiver and the attached special provisions

• Procedures contained in this Operations manual

• 

# Plan of activities

• Radio Communications

• 

# Take

- off procedures

• Aviation activities to be conducted during the filming production event

• Approach and landing procedures

• Recall procedures

• Emergency procedures

• Risks to participating personnel

• How to control non

- participating persons ”

## 7 | Page 

# Relief from § 91.119(c) is necessary because the aircraft will be operated at altitudes below
400’ AGL. Skyview Pre

- flight Check List provides the mechanism for obstacle location and
avoidance:

“ Check Area for Obstacles

- Note location of public and private use airpo rts and heliports and medical heliports and helipads

- Inspect flight zone for utility pol es, transmission and guy wires, trees and Other vertical obstacles to flight

- Inspect traffic patterns and flow of adjacent roadways and parking areas and ensure traffic flow will not be impacted, nor drivers distracted

- Inspect flight zone for suit ability of adjacent public viewing area protected from flight zone

- Locate and define take

- off and landing zone (LZ)”

The Operations Manual additionally provides:

“ The certificate holder shall ensure that no persons a re allowed within 1 00 feet of the flight zone except those consenting to be involved and those necessary for the video production. This provision may be modified if the level of safety can be achieved and the Administrator has approved. For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an evaluation of the video production area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings, etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (observers, the public, news media, etc.) from debris in the event of an accident.”

Finally, in support of exemption from both 91.119(b) and (c), Skyview has established and the PICs are required to practice and become proficient in executing emergency procedures. The Skyview Pre

- flight Check List provides:

“ 1. Lost sight of UAS

– Perform Return Home Procedure 2. UAS out of control

– Perform Return Home Procedure 3. UAS Battery low

– Return UAS to LZ immediately 4. IMMEDIATELY land UAS at nearest safe ground location if:

- manned or other unmanned aircraft is in the vicinity of flight zone

- unauthorized persons or equipment enter the flight zone

- hazardous weather conditions develop

- bird flock enters the flight zone

- traffic obstruction occurs

- PIC becomes distracted believes safety is compromised for any reason ”

# Request **for exemption from 14 CFR 91.121**  §91.121 Altimeter settings. (a) Each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising altitude or flight level of that aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an altimeter that is set, when operating

— (1) Below 18,000 feet MSL, to

— (i) The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100 nautical miles of the aircraft; (ii) If there is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, the current re ported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station; or (iii) In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.
The Phantom II unit is equ ipped with GPS derived altitude capabilities. The FAA discussion in Exemption No. 11138 (Trudeau) is applicable to Skyview operations. Due to the limited altitude of the proposed operations (400’ AGL and below) , it is requested that operational
altitudes b e reported to ATC in terms of AGL.

**Request for exemption from 14 CFR 91.151**  §91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. (a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed

— (1) During the day, to f ly after that for at least 30 minutes

. The operating documents , speci fically, the Phantom II User Manual
, indicate that two low

voltage (low battery) alerts are issued

- warning that the first alert should be followed (30%

- low battery level warning). Al so, the UAS has an automated function which results in immediate landing when a low battery is detected. The Skyview Check List provides for the PIC to continuously monitor the UAS battery and prohibit operation with lower than 30% battery life remaining. These f actors should provide the FAA with sufficient reason to grant the relief from 14 CFR 91.151(a) and prohibit the PIC from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, land the UA with 30% battery power remaining.

# Request for exemption from 14 CFR **91.405 (a),**  § **91.407(a),** § **91.409(a),** § **91.417(a) & (b)**  §91.405 Maintenance required. Each owner or operator of an aircraft

— (a

) Shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter.
§91.407 Operation after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration. (a) No person may operate any aircraft that has undergone maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration unless

— (1) It has been approved for return to service by a person authorized under §43.7 of this chapter;
§91.409 Inspections. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may operate an aircraft unless, within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had

— (1) An annual in spection in accordance with part 43 of this chapter and has been approved for return to service by a person authorized by §43.7 of this chapter; or (2) An inspection for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with part 21 of this chapt er.
§91.417 Maintenance records. (a) Except for work performed in accordance with §§91.411 and 91.413, each registered owner or operator shall keep the following records for the periods specified in paragraph (b) of this section: (1) Records of the mai ntenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration and records of the 100

- hour, annual, progressive, and other required or approved inspections, as appropriate, for each aircraft (including the airframe) and each engine, propeller, rotor, and appliance of

an aircraft. The records must include

— (i) A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of the work performed; and (ii) The date of completion of the work performed; and (iii) The signature, and certificate number of the person app roving the aircraft for return to service. (2) Records containing the following information: (i) The total time in service of the airframe, each engine, each propeller, and each rotor. (ii) The current status of life

- limited parts of each airframe, engi ne, propeller, rotor, and appliance. (iii) The time since last overhaul of all items installed on the aircraft which are required to be overhauled on a specified time basis. (iv) The current inspection status of the aircraft, including the time since the last inspection required by the inspection program under which the aircraft and its appliances are maintained.

## 10 | Page 

# (v) The current status of applicable airworthiness directives (AD) and safety directives including, for each, the method of compliance, the AD or safety directive number and revision date. If the AD or safety directive involves recurring action, the time and date when the next action is required.
The above maintenance provisions apply to aircraft that have an airworthiness certificate.
The aircr aft operated by Skyview will not have an airworthiness certificate so these regulations should not apply to Skyview. Skyview proposes that t he PIC be the primary inspector in lieu of the maintenance personnel contemplated by the above regulation. Prior

to each flight the PIC will inspect the aircraft to assure that it is in airworthy condition. Any maintenance issues or replacement of consumable items shall be accomplished prior to the initiation of flight and documented in accordance with the Operations Ma nual and check list. Under no circumstances shall the UAS be operated if there is any question as to the airworthiness of the aircraft. Due to the relatively small size and lack of complexity of the Phantom II unit, the PIC ca n ensure the proper level of s afety for aircraft airworthiness.

### 1.1 Built

- in Flight Control System Instructions
The built

- in flight control system is u s ed 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 (Ma in Con troller), IMU, GPS, compass, 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 control and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system
connecting a nd controlling all the modules together.

The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant , by choosing Naza

- M mode or P hantom 2 mode.

This manual is for P hantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza

- M V2 Quick Start Manual for more

information.

## 5 Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedure s prior to the first flight.

The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which cause s abnormal compass data and lead s to

poor flight performance or even flight failure . Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at
its optimal level.


### 5

. 1 Calibration Warnings

( 1 ) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong
magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement
underground.

( 2 ) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cell ular
phones.

( 3 ) Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will work abnormal ly

. 

### 5 .2 Calibration Procedures Please carry out the calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quick start video of the

PHANTOM 2 for more compass calibration details.



### 5 .3 When Recalibration is required ( 1 ) When Compass D ata is abnormal
, the LED flight indicator will blink alternating between red and yellow. ( 2 ) Last compass calibration was performed at a completely different flying field/location. ( 3 ) The mechanical structure of the ai rcraft has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass

. ( 4 ) E vident drifting occurs in flight , i.e. the aircraft doesn ’ t fly in straight lines.

### ©2013

## 6 Flight
6 .1 Flying Environment Requirements ( 1 ) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.). ( 2 ) D O NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. ( 3 ) The flying field should be open and void of tall buildi ngs or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass. ( 4 ) Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. ( 5 ) Try to avoid interference between the remote control and other wireless eq uipment (No base

stations or cell towers around ). ( 6 ) The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. ( 7 ) N ever use the aircraft in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic lays and regulations.



### 6 .2 Starting the Motors
A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors

. Push the sticks according to one of the options

below to start motors. Once the motors have started , release both stick s simultaneously. The same CSC is used to

st op the motors

.

F igure 6

- 1


### 6 .3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures

1. Start by placing the PHANTOM 2 on the ground with the battery level indicator s facing you

. 2. T urn on the remote control

. 3. Power on the aircraft by turning on the intelligent battery

. 4. When LED flight indicator blinks green/yellow, the PHANTOM 2 is entering Ready to Fly / Ready to Fly
(non

- GPS) mode. Start the motors with the CSC command.

5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground

. R efer to < Remote C ontr ol Operation > for

more details.

6. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 25 |

place and the aircraft will descend steadily.

7. After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3 to 5 seconds t o stop the motors. Return throttle stick to
middle position after the motors have stopped.

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight ! This will stop the motors and cause the

aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. ( 1 ) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight , the aircraft has entered in to
Failsafe mode , refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. ( 2 ) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blink ing red slowly or rapidly during flight . R efer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. ( 3 ) Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information. ( 4 ) Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temp erature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. ( 5 ) When used wit h a H3

- 3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 2 propeller guards at this weight. Otherwise, the aircraft will be unable to fly normall y. 

### 6 .4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connecti on from the remote control is lost . T he flight control system
will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. T he following

situations w ould make the aircraft fail to receiv e a signal from the remote control and enter Failsafe mode: ( 1 ) The remote control is power ed off. ( 2 ) The remote control is power ed on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in t he PHANTOM 2 Assistant )

. ( 3 ) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote control

. ( 4 ) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote control and the aircraft, essentially reducing

the distance the signal can travel. ( 5 ) There is interference causing a signal proble m with the remote control

.

Failsafe works different ly depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it i s in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode. Ready to Fly (non

- GPS)

---- Automatic l anding The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may
be drifting during the descent and landing process.

Ready to Fly

---- Automatic g o h ome and land The flight control system will automatic ally control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 26 | Home Point

When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as

the home point. I t is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being

able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.

Go Home Procedures

Figure 6

- 2 ( 1 ) I n a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically.
In Phantom 2 mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “ Ready to fly ” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Q ui ckly flipping the S2 switch of the remote

control from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on

the LED Flight Indicator. T he definition of “ home point ” is: ( 1 ) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 returns to when the control signal is lost , which is

recorded last time

. ( 2 ) The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the

distance will be displayed as if using iOSD module.

Regaining Control during Failsafe Procedure

### 6 .5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function
The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 has two levels of low battery
capacity warning. The first appears when the batter y has less than 30% power and the second appears when it has

less than 15 % power

. ( 1 ) When battery power drops below 30% and LED indicator will blink red slowly

. ( 2 ) At lower than 15 % the LED indicator will blink red rapidl y, the PHANTOM 2 will also begin to desce nd and land automatically. After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC

. ( 3 ) There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage th reshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto

- landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pu sh ing up on the throttle stick

. ( 1 ) Remember to fly your P HANTOM 2 back as soon as you see a low battery capacity warning. ( 2 ) Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may

cause a communication failure.
