Personal Protocols and Controls

Follow the Flight Environment Requirements outlined in the Phantom 2 Vision+ owner's manual:

1. Do not use the UAS in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 

4, snow, rain and smog.

2. Fly in open fields or residential lots as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy 

of the onboard compass.

3. Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of 

water when in flight.

4. Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of 

electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers.

5. Do not fly the UAS within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations.

Preflight Checklist outlined in the Phantom 2 Vision+ owner's manual:

1. Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smart phone are fully charged.

2. Propellers are mounted correctly.

3. Gimbal clamp has been removed.

4. Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn.

5. Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly.

6. Camera lens cap has been removed.

7. Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary.

8. Gimbal is functioning as normal.

9. Motors can start and are functioning as normal using the Combination Stick Command (CSC).

10. DJI VISION App can connect to the camera.

11. Calibrate the compass

Perform a Test Flight as outlined in the Phantom 2 Vision+ owner's manual:

1. Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing the Pilot in 

Command.

2. Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery.

3. Launch the DJI Vision App and start bind it with the smart phone then enter the camera preview 

page.

4. Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. If it does not blink green, power down the 

Smart Flight battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller and calibrate the compass again.

5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off.

6. Land the UAS by hovering over the Home Point and gently pull down the throttle to descend.

7. After landing, execute the Combination Stick Command or hold the throttle at its lowest 

position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop.

Pilot in Command will at all times adhere to the following Operating Parameters:

 Operate the UAS below 300 feet and within a radius distance of 1000 feet from the controller 

while maintaining direct line of sight visual observation (VLOS);

 Land the UAS prior to the manufacturer's recommended minimum level of battery power;

 Use the UAS' GPS flight safety feature whereby the aircraft hovers and then slowly lands if 

communication with the remote control pilot is lost;

 Pilot In Command will conduct all operations under my own personal and flight safety protocols 

(including posting a warning sign reading: "Attention: Aerial Photography in Progress - Remain 

Back 150 feet") contained in the operating documents and will actively analyze flight data and 

other sources of information to constantly update and enhance my safety protocols;

 Contact respective airports if operations will be within 5 miles to advise them of my estimated 

flight time, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent information;

 I will always obtain all necessary permissions prior to operation; and

 have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger.
