**Emergency Procedures**

Personnel flying the DJI Inspire 1 will first and foremost be trained such that in any emergency situation, the safety of persons on the ground and in the air is number one.

The fol lowing are emergency procedures: 1.) Fire: UAV will be flown away from people and property until a safe landing location can be found. 2.) Loss of Link: Onboard system will automatically elevate the aircraft to a safe altitude (100 ft. AGL) then return the aircraft home and land. 3.) Line of site lost: Emergency Return to home (RTH) and landing will be executed by manually activating RTH mode via DJI Pilot Application 4.) Loss of engine: Emergency landing will be executed by manually activating emergency landing via DJI Pilot Application 5.) Unusual Attitude: Onboard stabil ization gyros will be allowed to level aircraft before control is resumed by PIC 6.) “Fly Away”: UAV will be placed into “ATTI” mode, Emergency Return to home and landing will be executed by manually activating RTH mode via DJI Pilot Application

In the unlike ly event of an emergency involving the aircraft and person on the ground, the flight crew (PIC and Observer) shall maintain a list of applicable numbers (EMS, Fire, Police, ATC) for emergency contact. They (flight crew) will also be trained as Emergency M edical Technicians

. **Lost Link** During the course of a flight, if the link between the client controller and the DJI Inspire 1 is lost, onboard software on the UAV will automatically send it into a hover mode for 5 seconds. If a link is not re

- established in this time, the UAV will rise to an above ground altitude of 100 ft (to avoid any obstructions) and return to the home location. At this time the UAV will automatically land by a controlled method, utilizing its GPS signal and ground vision positioning s ystem for flight. The process from loss of link to landing initiation by the onboard computer on the DJI Inspire 1 will occur in the following steps: 1). Once communication is lost, the UAV will immediately go into hover mode. This step is not customiza ble by the pilot. 2). If the link is reestablished, the PIC will regain full control of the aircraft. At this time the pilot will land the UAV safely, and will perform a thorough systems check to verify all components are in safe working order before any further flight. 3). If the link cannot be reestablished, the UAV will automatically go into a hover mode for 5 seconds. It wi ll then rise to an above ground altitude of 100 ft. (to avoid any obstructions) andreturn to the home location. At this time the UAV will automatically land by a controlled

method, utilizing its GPS signal and ground vision positioning system for flight. 4.) After any Lost Link incident, the UAV will not be operated until the PIC has performed a thorough systems check to verify all components are in safe working order.

**Lost Communications** The following communications scenarios are addressed in this docum ent relating to the loss of communication: A.) Pilot in Command & Observer a. If during the flight, communications between the PIC (Pilot in Command) and Observer is lost, the following means will be used to regain communication: i. Hand Signals either with or with out the other means of communications. ii. Cellular phone b. It is important to note that the PIC and Observer will be in close proximity to one another during all flights however, in the event of an emergency where visual sight is lost and/or speaking distance is obscured or impossible, the above methods will be used. c. If the above methods do not work for regaining communications between PIC and Observer the UAV will be imm ediately grounded until communications can be regained. B.) Pilot in Command and Air Traffic Control a. If communication is lost with ATC ( when required) the PIC will use a cellular phone to reestablish communication. If the PIC is unable to reestablish communic ation with ATC, the PIC will immediately ground the UAV until communications is regained. In all cases, when Communication is lost with ATC and there is a concern for people or property in the air or on the ground the PIC will immediately land the aircraft
