Re: Exemption Request Under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act 

and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 

Requesting Party: Halo Aviation, LLC 

Our Client & File No.: Joiner -11632/12050 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(the "Reform Act") and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Halo Aviation, LLC ("HALO"), 

seeks an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") detailed in 

this letter for the following described Unmanned Aerial System referred to in 

this application as the ("HALO System"), which includes an Unmanned 

Aircraft ("UA") and ground station-based equipment and.crew. 

COMPANY BACKGROUND: 

Halo Aviation, LLC is a limited liability company duly organized and located 

in the State of Oregon. The primary purpose of the LLC is to provide 

aeronautical education and aviation resources and training to public and 

private schools. Staff are highly trained, experienced individuals with years 

of aviation training and aircraft operation. Halo maintains liability insurance 

through the Academy of Model Aeronautics. 

Founder and Manager, Scot Joiner, is a licensed Airframe and Powerplant 

Technician and a commercial pilot (license numbers available upon request). 

He has worked for both in the fixed wing and rotor wing operators as well as 

heavy machinery. He is well versed in the operation and maintenance of UA 

and employs a visual observer ("VO"). 
US DOT, Docket Operations

THE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA): 

• A lightweight (24-ounce gross weight with all on-board equipment), 

battery operated 4-motor rotorcraft in the form of a quadcopter that 

takes off and lands vertically, capable of carrying the following 

equipment in flight; 

• An on-board flight computer with GPS navigation and location ability 

that receives signals for flight controls from a ground-based 

transmitter I controller modified; 

• An on-board Go Pro camera capable of capturing imagery in the form 

of full color, high definition still photos and video; 

• An on-board telemetry system operating at 5.SGHz that delivers flight 

data from the on-board flight computer to the on-board radio 

transmitter including altitude AGL, horizontal and vertical speed, 

compass direction of flight and direction back to its launch site; 

• A Dx5e DSMX 5 2.4GHz on-board radio transmitter that transmits the 

flight data from the telemetry system described above. 

THE GROUND STATION-BASED PART OF THE SYSTEM: 

• A Pilot in Command ("PIC") in operational control of a flight 

operation from beginning to end and who controls the UA while in the 

air; 

• A 2.4GHz radio transmitter I controller operated by the PIC to control 

the UA while in flight; 

• A radio receiver receiving live video from the on-board camera and 

computer projects it altogether onto a screen for the PIC to view 

during flight; 

• A VO who is in constant radio communication with the PIC and in 

visual line of sight ("VLOS") who provides a second pair of eyes to 

visually track the UA while in flight. 

• A ground station that is marked by a fluorescent flag at a height of no 

more than 8 feet or 94". The ground station shall have visual contact 

with the UA or VO at all times. 

The requested exemption would support an application for a 

commercial Certificate of Authorization to use the above-described HALO 

System to support aerial photography and video primarily of real property 

including but not limited to residential, commercial and agricultural 

properties. 

The UA, powered by batteries, is smaller, lighter and more 

maneuverable than larger aircraft running on combustible fuel, it operates at 

altitudes below 400 AGL with no people onboard and will thereby reduce 

current risk levels and enhances safety and diminishes the likelihood of death 

or serious bodily injury. 
US DOT, Docket Operations 

April 22, 2015 

Page 3 of5 

With a small payload and maximum flight time of only 10 minutes, 

this offers little or no risk to national security. 

Low-level oblique photos and video from several angles are far more 

effective than ground-based imagery for displaying the characteristics of 

large, complex properties with several buildings and large trees. The 

applicants in the past have chartered 2-seat full-sized helicopters for this 

purpose, which have proven more costly than many potential clients have 

been able to afford. The benefits of reduced cost and improved quality of 

presentation from the UA will be valuable to and benefit many buyers and 

sellers of real property. 

Additionally, we request that our system be utilized to benefit first 

responders who might require assistance, including fire fighters, the police, 

the sheriff, search and rescue, et al., while remaining subject to all limitations 

cited in this application. 

The HALO System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and a 

VO in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227, Section 14 "Operational 

Requirements for UAS" and with the following Restrictions: 

(a) No flight will be made with a UA gross weight exceeding 55 pounds; 

(b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 

(c) 

400 ft AGL, at an airspeed of no more than 25 knots and no further 

than 3 I 4 NM from the PIC; 

All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The VO and PIC 

must be able to communicate by voice and radio at all times during a 

flight operation; 

(d) Operations will be restricted to flights over private property with the 

written permission of the property owner; 

(e) The PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent 

with 14 CFR § 61.51(b), a minimum of 100 flight cycles and 25 hours 

of total time as a UA rotorcraft pilot and at least ten (10) hours 

logged as a UA pilot with a similar UA type; 

(f) All required permits will be obtained from state and local 

government prior to operation; 

(g) The HALO System will not be operated over densely populated 

(h) 

(i) 

(I) 
US DOT, Docket Operations 

April 22, 2015 

Page 4 of 5 

(m) The PIC will brief the VO and property owner about the operation 

and risk before the first flight at each new location; 

(n) In all applicable situations HALO will obtain written releases from 

landowner and verbal or written consent from neighboring 

properties. 

(o) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspection by the PIC 

before each operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safe 

for flight (see Appendix A and Appendix C). 

The PIC and VO will meet the requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 

8900.227, Section 16 "Personnel Qualifications." Additionally, the PIC and 

VO will perform maintenance on the system and will complete a course of 

maintenance instruction as part of their initial training in accordance with the 

UA manufacturer recommendations. 

We submit that the combination of the UA's light weight, flight 

performance and ability, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation under 

the guidelines established in 8900.227, and under all of the Restrictions (a) 

through (o) listed above, the FAA can have full confidence that the operation 

will have an equivalent or greater level of safety than manned aircraft 

performing the same or similar missions.

EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

Halo Aviation, LLC, (petitioner) requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as 

any additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of the HALO System: 

14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates. 

This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. The FAA 

has indicated that relief is not necessary under 14 CFR Part 21 as statutory criteria established 

in Section 333 of P.L. 112-95 in reference to 49 USC Section 44704, that the size, weight, 

speed and limited operating area with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of 

Transportation has determined that this type of aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. 

However, the petitioner wishes to be thorough and requests that the FAA be reminded that the 

aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly under strict 

operational requirements. Combined with the UA's light-weight, being constructed primarily of 

carbon fiber and plastic, we confirm that the UA will be at least as safe, if not safer, than a 

conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same mission. 

The parts for the UA will be obtained from the manufacturer or licensed representative of the 

manufacturer and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 

14 CFR 91.203(a) & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. 

The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned 

to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, 

subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit 

entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew." 

At a maximum gross weight of 5.3 pounds, the UA is too small to carry documentation, does not 

have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent 

level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate 

for this aircraft by the FAA will be co-located with the crew at the ground control station and 

available for inspection upon request. In order to identify the aircraft, we propose that the 

information found on airworthiness and registration certificates be permanently affixed to the 

aircraft via placard containing the following information: 

Property of: HALO AVIATION, LLC. 

MFG: Horizon Hobby, Inc. 

4105 Fieldstone Road 

Champaign, Illinois 61822 

Model: BLADE 350QX 

lffound please contact: (541) 954-9434 

14 CFR 45.29 Size of marks. 

These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration 

number in letters at least 3 inches high. 

Addendum Page 1 of 4 
We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including a placard on the top of the 

aircraft, as shown above, where the PIC, VO and others in the vicinity of the aircraft while it is 

preparing for launch will be able to see the designation. Additionally, we feel that the permanent 

placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's registration information at 

the ground station. Finally, we will display at the ground station a high contrast flag or banner 

that contains the words "Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" in letters 3 inches high or greater. 

Since the aircraft will operate within 3/4 NM of the ground station, the banner should be visible 

to anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its point of origin. 

14 CFR 91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness. 

This regulation provides that (a) no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy 

condition. And (b) the pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether 

that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall discontinue flight when 

unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural conditions occur. 

Petitioner understands that a UA is not issued an airworthiness certificate and understands that 

the FAA requires the petitioner to comply with the UA operating documents prior to every flight 

to determine if the UA is in an airworthy condition. 

In accordance with Appendix () the PIC shall perform an airworthiness inspection prior to every 

flight and shall terminate or discontinue a flight as soon as safely practicable upon the discovery 

of an unairworthy condition which shall include mechanical, electrical or structural failures. 

14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements. 

This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight 

manual is in the aircraft. We assume that the intent of this requirement is to ensure that flight 

manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an 

exemption to this requirement since the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, the 

documentation would not be available to the crew during flight operations. 

To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, 

approved UA Flight Manual (Appendix A) must be available to the crew at the ground station 

anytime the aircraft is in, or preparing for, flight. 

14 CFR 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61.133 

Commercial pilot privileges and limitations. 

The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in 

command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to 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. 

Our proposed operations require that the PIC must either: 

1. Hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA, and have logged 25 hours of 

flight experience in this type of UA; 

2. Meet the requirements of 8900.227 paragraph 16(c)(2)(c) "Operations without a pilot 

certificate" in which the PIC is required to complete "FAA private pilot ground instruction" 

and pass "the FAA Private Pilot written examination." Since there are currently no 

means available for the pilot of a UAS to gain the experience in an equivalent category 

and class in order to apply for a commercial pilot's license, we propose to generate an 

equivalent level of safety by requiring our pilots to complete, at a minimum, FAA private 

Addendum Page 2 of 4 
pilot ground instruction and pass the FAA Private Pilot written examination in addition to 

completing and demonstrating proficiency of operation according to petitioner's 

guidelines and instructions set by the manufacturer. Since the aircraft cannot carry 

passengers or property, we feel we meet the intent of 61.113 Subparagraph (b) even 

though the intent of this application is to conduct a business. 

14 CFR 91.109 Flight Instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests. 

The regulation states that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight 

instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." 

The HALO System ground-based control station consists of a small hand-held radio transmitter 

and while it does not offer a second set of "controls", both the student and instructor can, and 

will, operate the single set of controls simultaneously. With both student and instructor having 

"hands-on" the controls during flight, we feel that this technique meets the intent 91.109 and 

provides an equivalent level of safety. 

14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes General. 

The regulation states that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer 

than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the aircraft will be operating at 

a maximum of 400 feet AGL, we cannot comply with this requirement. 

In order to provide an equivalent level of safety we will only fly over private property with a size 

of at least two acres with the permission of the owner of the property flown over. The aircraft 

will not be operated over congested areas or over any open air assembly of persons. The 

property owner will be briefed on the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons 

and property on the ground. The property owner will have read and reviewed a consent and 

release form provided by the petitioner. The aircraft will be operated at a low altitude allowing, if 

a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the 

surface. Therefore we maintain that due to the small size of the UA, the hazard to persons, 

vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in 

granting the exemption. 

14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings. 

The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter 

setting available within 100 NM of the aircraft. 

The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in 

order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above Ground Level altimeter measurement 

above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display 

screen held by the PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout. 

14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. 

The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR 

conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after 

that for at least 30 minutes. 

We feel the intention of this paragraph is to provide an energy reserve as a safety buffer for 

delays to landing. The UA is battery operated and the maximum duration of flight from a single 

battery charge is 10 minutes with a 20% reserve. Since the aircraft will never fly more than 3/4 

NM from the point of intended landing, a full battery charge at launch will ensure that we meet 

Addendum Page 3 of 4 
the reserve energy requirement of this paragraph. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" 

and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy". 

14 CFR Subpart E (91.401- 91.417)- Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Alterations. 

The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in 

an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 

91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to service by a person authorized under 

43.7" after maintenance and inspection. 

It is our intention that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection of the aircraft and "be 

authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." As provided in the Pre-Flight Checklist 

in Appendix A, the PIC will ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to every 

flight and in addition conduct detailed inspections after every two hours of flight. Maintenance 

performed by the PIC is limited to repairing small cracks, replacing a propeller, checking 

electrical connections and updating software and firmware for the on-board computer. All other 

maintenance will be performed by the manufacturer or their designated repair facility. The PIC 

will document work performed in accordance with 91.417. We feel that due to the size, 

construction, and simplicity of the aircraft, the PIC can ensure an equivalent level of safety. 

8900.227 Paragraph 16(c)(4) PIC Medical, and Paragraph 16(e)(1) Observer Medical. 

This policy provides that both the PIC and VO must have a valid FAA second-class medical 

certificate issued under part 67 in order to perform as a pilot or observer. 

The UA maximum gross weight is 24 ounces, it is constructed of carbon fiber and plastic and 

the PIC is not on board. Both the PIC and the VO are required to be in VLOS. Given the 

unlikely event that both the PIC and VO become medically incapacitated while the aircraft is in 

flight, the UA will return autonomously to the site of launching and land without crew 

intervention. Therefore, requiring the PIC and VO to meet the same rnedical requirements as a 

commercial pilot carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden. 

We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 

20/20 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that 

the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a 

much larger vehicle.

• Always transport or tenmorarily store the battery in a temperature range of 

40-120' F {5-49' C). Do not store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight 

H srored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire. 

• Always charge batteries away from flammable materials. 

low Voltage Cutoff (lVC) 

Low voltage cutoff (LVC) protects the LI-Po bettery from over-discharge In flight 

and activates when the battery teaches a preset value. When the baflery is 

disqharged to !he cutoff point, the aircraft will display rapidly flashing red, green 

aod blue LEDslo warn you tt's time to land. When you see this LEO code, land 

immediately to prevent over-discharge and damage 1ll the battery. 

When the LVG Is activated, you have approximately 2 minutes until the battery IS 

depleted and can no longer malstaln a hover. Repeated fiylng to LVC will damage 

the battery.

2. Attach !he input cord of ltle charger to an appropriate power supply, such as a 12V battery or 12V DC power supply. 

3.When ltle Li-Po charger has been correclly powered up, lllere will be an approximate 3·second delay, 1flen an audible "beep" and 1fle green (ready) LEO will flash. 

4. Tum the control on the Amps se!actnr so the arrow polnls to !he charging rate required for !he battery (!he 2200mAh Li-Po batteJY will charge at 2.0 amps). 

DO NDT change !he charge mte once the battery begins charging. 

5. Move the cell selector sw~h to 3-cell for your battery. 

6. Connect the balancing lead of 1fle battery to the 3-cell (4 pin) charger port and press the Start botton to begin batteJY charging. 

7. The green and red LEOs may flash doling the charging process when !he charger is balancing cells, Balancing prolongs 1fle fife of !he battery. 

8. When the battaJY is fully charged, a beep will sound for about 3 seconds and !he green LEO will shine continuously. Attempting to charge an over-discharged 

battery will cause 1fle charger to repeatedly flash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.

The Bindmg Process 

1.11/llb !be transmitter and quad copter powered off, connect !be battery 

to the 350 OX. 

2. Wdh the 350 OX on a level surtace, tum on Ute power swHch and allow 

the quadcopter to initialize. 

3. WaH until the blue lED on the quadcopter flashes rapidly, signaling the 

quadcopter Is Initialized and ready to bind. 

4. Ensure throUle is in Ute low position and throUle trim is at neutral. 

5. Hold the coritrol sticks in the desired bind posilion (see illustrations) 

and press/pull the bind buflonlswltch, Uten power on the transmitter. 

6. Refer to the Flying lED Cedes table to ensure Ute aircraft Is bound 

correclly. 

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to bind with more than one bind code. 

Binding with more than one bind code will only allow the aircraft to 

bind normally. 

Unless binding with a bind code, the elevator and aileron inputs (including trim) must be neutral during binding.!! you are attempting a normal 

bind with any input other than neutral, the aircraft will emit a constant, 

rapid beeping sound • 

If your 350 QX emits a constant beeping sound after binding 

{Smart or Agllily Mode only): 

1. Ensure.all trims are neutral. 

2. Slowly move the elevator stick back and forth {close to center) and 

listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate. Take note of the direction 

you are moving the stick when Ute change of tone happens. 

3. It the tone never changes wHh elevator movement, slowly move the 

aileron stick back and forth {close to center) and listen for the beeping to stop or hesttate. Take note of the direction you are moving the 

stick when the change of tone happens. 

4. lnputtrim in the direction Utat caused the change in tone until the 

beepmg stops. 

In Ute event you cannot find an Input that stops Ute tones: 

1. Apply 1 click of elevator trim in either direction and then slowly 

' move Ute aileron stick close to center. 

I 2. Continue to add 1 click at a time of elevator trim, up to 5trim steps i off center up or down, and move the aileron stick until you find the 

-~~ point Uta! makes the tones stop. 

3. Add aileron trim in the direction you moved the stick to make the 

tones stop.

GPS Functionality of the 350 QX 

To acquire a reliable GPS signal, It is Important the 350 OX has a clear view of 

the sky. Obstructions that can affect the aircraft's ability to acquire an acceptable 

signal include: 

• Flying .close to or around taiVbig buildings 

• Flying under dense vegetation 

• Flying indoors or under a structure 

H you lose or cannot acquire a GPS look and home position, the aircraff wlll not 

have Stick Relativity, SAFE Circle, Position Hold or Return Home functions available. 

It is not possible to use Smart Modewilhout having GPS enabled.lfthe 350 ax 

is Initialized wilhout GPS enabled, it will defaunto Stability Mode. The alrcmft 

will slill be capable of altitude hold. 

Hyou do not have a GPS signal, by maneuvering the 350 ax by steering wfth 

forward elevator and rudder only. 

.·A..· ... C4U'IlllN: Oo nirt~nempt to fly the 350 ox Wlth GPS enabled While 

·~ indo.ors otin a lo~tion where the GPS sjgnal is known to be poor, as

GPS Functions 

(see the binding section for turning GPS funcffons ON and OFF) 

WilhGPSON 

• If the 350 ax took off with GPS lock and a home posftlon set, when Return 

Home mode is actiVated the quadcopter will fly back to the start position 

(maintaining altitude along the way), then reduce allftude to land. 

• If the 350 OX should lose GPS when Return Home mode Is actiVated, it will 

land quickly using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the dnscent 

rate. 

• lithe 350 ax look off wHhout GPS look, but acquires a GPS signal in flight, it 

will land slowly using GPS to hold fts position and barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate when Return Home mode is actiVated. 

• Hthe 350 ax loses GPS during landing in Return Home mode, It will increase the rate of descent and land quickly to avoid drift. 

• H the 350 OX deviates too far from its Intended GPS path when In Return 

Home mode, it will descend using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. This could happen if the flight conhol system loses fts 

orientation because of aggressive flight in 3 axis mode. 

• Once the 350 ax has landed in Return Home mode it will disarm the motors 

WilhGPSOFF 

• If Return Home mode is activated, the 350 ax will level off and land quickly 

using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. 

Flight Guidelines and Warnings 

• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control. 

• Always keep people and pets at leest35 feet (10 meters) away When the 

battery is connected. 

• Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times. 

• Always use fully cherged batteries. 

• Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered. 

• Always remove batteries before disassembly. 

• Always keep moving parts .clean. 

• Always keep parts dry. 

EN~~============~----

• Once the 350 OX has landed in Return Home mode It will disarm the motors. 

GPS Failure 

Upon GPS failure, the 350 OX will respond according to the following conditions: 

Smart Mode: (rapid Green flashing LED) 

If the 350 ax is In this mode and the GPS fails, the quad Will default to 

Stability Mode. The aircraft will slill use the pressure sensor to maintain 

altifude and control rate of descent. H GPS is re-acquired, after 5·10 

seconds of reliable GPS signal the Smart Mode functions are returned to 

nortnal 

Stability Mode: (long Blue, two short Green flashing LED) 

H the 350 OX is in this mode and the GPS fails, ft Will not switch to Smart 

Mode and will not enter GPS hold, but will otherwise function normally. If 

GPS is reacquired, after 5-10 seconds of reliable GPS signal the stability 

Mode functions are returned to nonnal 

Agility Mode: (long Red, lwo short Green flashing LEO) 

H. the 350 OX is in this mode and the GPS fails, ~will notaffectfligtrt performance, but It will not be able to switch into Smart Mode. It will still be able 

to swllch Into Stability Mode with the limitations described above. 

Loss of TransmiJ;ter Signal 

If the transmitter signal Is losi for any reason, the 350 ax will respond according 

to the following conditions: 

• If lile motors are not turning, the 350 OX will disarm. 

• ffthe motors are turning but the 350 ax Is notflylng, it will turn off the motors and disann. 

• If the 350 ax Is flying and has a good GPS lock with a home position set, 

it will activate the Return Horne function upon the loss of the transmitter 

signal. 

• If the compass is not connected orfauity, or If there is no GPS lock, the 350 

OX will descend slowly upon the loss of the transmitter signal. 

• If the pressure sensor Is not working, the 350 ax will reduce power to initiate a controlled descent upon the loss of the transmitter signal. 

• Always let parts cool affer use before touching. 

• Always remove batteries after use. 

• Always have a first aid kfi with you. 

• Always have an appropriate fire extinguisher wilh you. 

• Never operate aircraft with damaged wiring. 

• Never touch moving parts. 

The Blade 350 OX has many more features than other Blade quadcopters.

Takeoff 

Increase the throttle slightly above low stick (1 0-15%). 

The 350 OX alttlude in Smart Mode corresponds to the 

, throttle position. Low throttle is on the ground, slightiy 

raising the throttle will produce a low hover, and the 

higher the throttle position, the higher the 350 OX will 

ascend until It reaches its maximum altitude (approximately 45 meters). 

Explore the tlighl envelope of the 350 ox in Smart 

Mode wffhoutfear of losing orientation. See the 

diagrams In the Right Modes Explained section for 

more details on the aircraft's function in Smart Mode. 

In Smart Mode, the direction 1he aircratt is pointing 

does not affect the control, and the aircratt's response 

relative to you (tiJe pilot location) does not change wffh 

orientation. StabiHty Mode and Agilrty Mode operate 

more like a conventional RC helicopter or multlcopter. 

IMPORTANT: Aggressive flight in Agilrty Mode will 

signlficantiy reduce flight time.

Landing 

To land the 350 OX there are two options: 

• Guide the aircmlt to where you wish to land and 

reduce the throttle. Reduce the throttle trim atter 

landing to disarm the motors. 

• Aclivate the Return Home function to return the 

350 OX to the assigned home location and land 

automatically.

Compass Calibration 

The Flight Controller on the 350 OX has automatic magnetic declination calibration, so you will not have to worry about locking up the magne~c declination at 

your locatioc and GhaJ1ging settings on your 350 OX Ill get accurate compass 

measurements. tt is possible, however, that your compass may need Ill be calibrated if it is exposed to strong magne~c ooids. 

Compass calibration procedure: 

1. Go Ill an open space outdoors away from metal. Take a conventional compass wtth you to ensure you know the direchon of north. 

2. Ensure your transmitter is oft and then connect a flight battery to the 350 

QX. Power the aircraft on. Wait five seconds and then the blue LED will 

begin flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is Initialized and ready to bind. 

3. Once the blue light begins flashing, bind With yaw stick left, The 350 OX LED 

will slowly flash between red and green tor 5 seconds. 

4. Put the 350 OX flai In your hands and face north. After 5 seconds of slow 

flashing the quad will start flashing rapidly. The quad is now collechng data 

to be used for the calibration. 

5. Slowly rotale the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis ("flip" the 

aircraft either forward or backward) until it is flat in your hands again. 

North 

Pressure Sensor Calibration 

The pressure sensor is calibrated at the factory on the 350 ax. Recallbration 

should only be necessary if you replace the sensor. 

1. Place the 350 QX in a cold area. Allow Hto remain in the cold for 30 minutes 

or more. 

2. Bring the 350 OX out of the cold and into a warm area. Tbe greater the difference in temperature between the cold and warm areas, the more accurate the 

calibration will be. 

3. Ensure your transmitter is ofl and then connect a flight battery Ill the 350 OX 

and poWer the alrt:ralt on. Wait five seconds and theo the blue LED will begin 

flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is Initialized and ready Ill bind. 

Accelerometer Calibration 

To calibrate the accelerometer, the quad copter needs to fly tnr 20 seconds while 

being level. This allows the accelerometer reedings Ill be averaged and stored in 

memory. 

Use the following procedure to calibrate the accelerometer: 

1. Power on the quadcopter wtth the transmitter ofl to enter bind mode. 

2. Turn on the transmitter while holding the elevator stick back and pressing 

the bind switch. 

3. Set the flight mode swttch to Stability Mode or Smart Mode. The quadcopter 

Will fly in Stability Mode no matter which position is selected. 

4. Start the motors. Fly the quadcopter off the ground. The quadcopter LED will 

flash slowly (red, green, blue). 

5. Use trims to adjust roiUpttch so the quadcopter does not drifi left/right and 

fmward/back. 

6. Activate the accelerometer calibration mode by changing the flight mode 

swttch intn Agility Mode. The vehicle will still fly in Stability Mode. The LED 

==::;will start flashing quickly (red, green, blue). 

EN ~~==========~----

6. COntinue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now 

lacing north-west. 

7. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis, ("flip" the 

aircraft diagonally etther direchon) until tt is flat in your hands again. 

8. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now 

lacing west. · 

9. Slowly rotate the q~ad il&o degrees about the east-west axis ("flip" the 

quad sideways eHher direction) until it is flat in your hands again. 

10.Continuefacing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad Is now 

lacing south-west. 

l1.Siowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis ("flip" the 

aircraft diagonally etther direction) until tt is flat in your hands again. 

You have 30 seconds to complete the procedure. The 350 QX should still be 

blinking rapidly when you finish. Hold the aircraft still until it stops blinking rapIdly. H successlul, the 350 OXwill beeP a positive confirmation and then restart 

itself. If unsuccesstul, the 350 OX displays the tailed r;alibration code, a solid 

white LED.If the 350 OX displays this error code, power off the aircraft and then 

begin the calibration procedure again. 

4. Once the blue light begins flashing, bind wnh yaw stick right. The 350 ax will 

blink red and blue rapidly. Leave the aircraft and transmitter powered on and 

allow the alrcreftto warm up for 10 minutes. Do not move the aircraft during 

thlstlme. 

5. After 10 minutes the motors on the aircraft will beep to indicate the calibration 

Is complete. Power off the aircraft and then your transmitter. 

lf.the 350 OX displays the failed calibration code, power off the aircraft and then 

begin the pressure calibration procedure again. 

7. Fly steadily for 10-30 seconds. The LED will flash slowly when data 

colle~on is done. 

8. Land the quadcopter and stop the propellers by lowering the throttle and 

throttle trim. 

IMPORTANT: The calibrated values are not yet permanently stored. Do not turn 

off the quadcopter. 

9. Center the trims on the transmitter. Start the motors and verify the 

quadcopter flies without drifting. 

1 o. Land the quadcopter and stop the motors by lowering the throttle and 

throttle trim. 

11. Save the calibration by moving the rudder stick quickly left, right, left, right. 

Values are saved when you hear a rapid trtple tone twice. 

12. Turn off the quadcopter. 

13. COnfirm the calibration by powering up the quadcopter and performing a test 

flight. If the calibration is not correct, start the calibration procedure again.
