## Flight Operations - General The PIC is the final authority for UAS operations At any time a pilot may request additional training, which will be provided. Additional training flights shall be documented appropriately. A PIC who has not flown the UAS in a particular location will study the appropriate VFR aeronautical chart and AFD as necessary to familiarize themselves with the local area. Before Start/ Before Takeo ffChecklist A checklist will be provided and each pilot will utilize the checklist for all operations. A before start/before takeoff checklist will be provided. The checklist will include essential items that will be confirmed by the pilot before each start and takeoff. Coordination is very important between the PIC and VO, its essential for safe UAS operations. Both the PIC and VO and any other people associated with the UAS operation will make safety the absolute number one priority. Document / Equipment Required 91.9 91.203 All JBI UAS operations shall have and make available

* JBI general operations manual

* UAS maintenance log

* UAS registration

* User manual

* Appropriate and current aeronautical VFR charts

Dropping objects JBI pilots will not allow objects to be dropped from their UAV

Emergency Operations During any UAS emergency, the pilots first responsibility is to fly the UAV. During an emergency, the pilot will comply with the emergency procedures set forth in the UAS flight manual, checklist, and any other appropriate action as required. All UAS operations shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this manual and the appropriate FARs



### 22

## JBI AERIAL INSPECTIONS GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL Rev 1:1 1/9/15 Fuel/Battery reserve 91.151(a) The UAS at expected payloads will provide approximately 30 minute flight times. Fully charged batteries will be used at the start of each operation. The UAS will also provide the PIC with a visual indication of a low battery condition. Further the UAS will return to the point of departure and land if the battery is allowed to drop below a safe level. This feature will not be routinely used. The PIC will plan to land the UAS with 30 minutes or 25% battery reserve available, whichever occurs first.

Mechanical Irregularities If any item of equipment required becomes inoperative or unserviceable the PIC shall comply with the UAS user guide procedures and FARs as applicable and discontinue the operation. All mechanical irregularities discovered during the course of a flight will be brought to the attention of suitable maintenance personnel after the flight.

Pre-Flight Briefing The PIC shall ensure that a pre-flight briefing is completed prior to UAS operations commence. The VO and any other essential personnel will be briefed on: Designated clear area, markings, location Expected flight path Emergency procedures Any other information essential to safe operations

Landing Zone The designated LZ will be kept clear of objects and people so as not to cause a hazard. It will be clearly marked and unnecessary personnel and bystanders not essential to operations will be kept back a safe distance of at least 30 feet. LZ markings shall include the following; pedestrian bollards, boards clearly marked with ‘keep back UAV operating. Additional makings such as flashing lights can be used if the need for extra LZ security is identified.



### 23

## JBI AERIAL INSPECTIONS GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL Rev 1:1 1/9/15 Preflight Preparation In making a decision to accept or reject a requested flight, each PIC will consider all relevant factors that might affect the safety of the UAS operation. These factors will include (but are not limited to) weather, FAR required fuel/battery requirements, aircraft equipment and maintenance status, and physical and emotional condition. If a pilot is uncertain that a requested UAS operation can be completed according to the requirements of this manual and of the FARs, they shall discontinue the flight. It is the PICs responsibility to ensure that their decision is made with safety and legality as the ultimate controlling principles. For operations conducted under VFR, the PIC, in the absence of approved weather sources may use weather information based on their own observations or those of other persons competent to supply them. The PIC must determine whether the flight or series of flights can be completed without any required maintenance item coming due before the UAV returns. If a flight cannot be completed without a maintenance item becoming overdue the PIC will contact the maintenance technician for instructions. Under no circumstances will a PIC commence a flight if any required inspection time will be exceeded. The PIC will review the UAV maintenance record to determine whether any discrepancies have been corrected. If the PIC finds a mechanical irregularity that has not been corrected they will not take off. Each pilot who finds a mechanical discrepancy or any item related to UAV airworthiness will document the discrepancy in the aircraft logbook. The PIC will determine that for corrected mechanical irregularities the UAV has been approved for return to service. The PIC shall become familiar with all available information concerning each flight operation including:

* Notams inc TFRs

* Weather (including hazards)

* Airspace (Inc Towers etc)



### 24

## JBI AERIAL INSPECTIONS GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL Rev 1:1 1/9/15 

### Maintenance Operational Check No person may operate any UAV that has undergone maintenance, preventative maintenance, rebuilding or alteration unless:

* It has been approved for return to service by a JBI UAV pilot/mechanic/repairman for the particular UAV; and

* The maintenance record entry has been made

* No pilot may operate for hire using a UAV that has been maintained, rebuilt, or altered in a manner that may appreciably have changed its flight characteristics or substantially affected its operation in flight until a maintenance operational check flight is conducted only by designated pilots in command and logs the flight in the aircraft records. Maintenance operational check flights will be accomplished any time it is required by the manufacturer or by regulation in accordance with the UAV user guide or maintenance manual. If there isn't one available then a specific document/checklist will be followed ensuring the UAV is suitable for return to service. The UAV does not have to be flown as required in the above paragraph if prior to flight, ground tests, inspections, or both show conclusively that the maintenance, preventative maintenance, rebuilding or alteration has not appreciably changed the flight characteristics or substantially affected the flight operation of the aircraft.



### 25

## JBI AERIAL INSPECTIONS GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL Rev 1:1 1/9/15 

### FCC Compliance The radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UAV must comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 

### Use of Drugs Certain drugs in common use have a marked effect on the nervous system, which is temporarily detrimental to a pilot or VOs ability. Pilots or VOs should consult their doctor concerning any questions about these drugs before use or operating a UAV. Whether on or off company property, and whether on or off duty, the use, sale, distribution or transportation of illegal narcotics, hallucinogens, depressants, stimulants, marijuana, or other mind-altering drugs by company personnel may result in immediate termination of employment. 

### Use of Intoxicants The use of intoxicants, including beer and wine, by any company personnel while on duty, or in the case of pilots or VOs, within (8) hours prior to flight operations, is prohibited.
