# Description The T600 is designed for professional aerial photography and cinematography. It is user friendly, safe, stabilized and easy to fly while its integrated design makes assembly and con

figuration simple and fast. Retractable land

ing gear, vibration dampeners, angled arms and minimized gimbal mount allow for a clear 360 degree view from the camera. A power distribution board, built in high-speed ESCs and motors with high efficiency propellers ensure dynamic stability and maximized pow

er efficiency. Used with the professional DJI multi-rotor autopilot system, the T600 can hover and fly reliably making it ideal for pho

tography and cinematography.

# 3 Emergency Procedures3-2 

# Fire Indications: 1. Smoke or flame. 2. Smell of smoke. Procedure: 1. Land as soon as possible. 2. Turn off the controller. 3. Extinguish flames with fire extinguisher. 4. If battery is damaged or burned it must be kept clear of people or property and placed in a container of water if possible. 

# Motor Failure Indications: 1. Sudden uncommanded left or right yaw. 2. Change in operation noise. 3. Loss of altitude. Procedure: 1. Apply yaw control in direction of uncom

manded yaw direction. 2. Land as soon as possible. 3. Lower UAS slowly with throttle. 4. Apply small directional inputs to move UAS away from obstructions. 5. Lower landing gear if time permits. 6. Maintain a steady controlled rate of descent until UAS contacts ground. 7. Hold throttle control down for 3 seconds, turn controller off. 

# Loss of Signal Indications: 1. UAS fails to respond to control inputs. 2. Video feed freezes or is lost. 3. Aircraft status indicator flashes yellow rapid

ly. Procedure: 1. After 3 seconds of a lost signal the UAS will begin to return to the home point or control

ler. 2. As aircraft comes closer give small inputs to regain control of UAS. 3. If aircraft nears obstacle give appropriate in

puts to regain control of aircraft. 4. Land as soon as practical. 

# Introduction The following procedures contain indications and procedures for failures or malfunctions that may effect the safety of the UAS, ground person

nel, or property. The pilot shall use all indica

tions, procedures, and available information to ensure safe flight of the UAS and to ensure the safety of people or property in the area in which it operates. The UAS should not be operated following any emergency/malfunction procedure or precau

tionary landing until the cause of malfunction has been determined and corrective maintenance action taken.3-3 

# Emergency Landing Emergency landing zones should be selected ahead of time, and planned according to mission and route. Land immediately and safely in the nearest suit

able area clear of people, obstruction, or property. Announce all actions loudly to any and all pres

ent. 

# Low Battery Indications: LOW LEVEL: 1. Aircraft status indicator flashes red slowly. 2. Controller displays “Go-home” decision screen. CRITICAL LEVEL: 1. Aircraft status indicator flashes red rapidly. 2. Aircraft begins descending. 3. Controller alarm tone will sound. Procedure: LOW LEVEL: 1. Pilot UAS to suitable landing area. 2. Land as soon as practical. NOTE If no action is taken on controller within 10 seconds of displaying the “Go-home” decision screen: the UAS will return to home, or to the controller. CRITICAL LEVEL: 1. Control UAS to avoid obstacles during de

scent. 2. Land as soon as possible.4-1

dures for the servicing and maintenance of the T600. Normal conditions are assumed in these procedures. These procedures are written for the purpose of standardization, and are not applica

ble to all situations.


# Periodic Maintenance The Stunning Heights Periodic Maintenance Checklist is to be conducted every 30 days or 100 flight hours, whichever occurs first. The Period

ic Maintenance Checklist is also to be followed upon receipt of a new T600 before being consid

ered airworthy by Stunning Heights, and after any major maintenance is conducted that could effect the aircrafts flight characteristics. After completing the checklist the completed form must be kept with the aircraft logbook, and an appropriate entry made in the aircraft logbook. 

# Annual Inspection To ensure the continued airworthiness of the T600 UAS an annual inspection must be con

ducted every 12 calendar months. The annual inspection must be conducted by the manufac

turer or an approved DJI repair facility. A record of the inspection must be kept with the aircraft logbook, and an appropriate entry made in the aircraft logbook.8-38-4
