# Standard considerations at usage of a Quadcopter :

• Outside air temperature recommended maximum +40C

• Outside air temperature n recommended y minimum 0C

• Wind speed for operation maximum 25 MPH, 20 knots, 10 meter/sec.

Recommended less than 10 MPH, 9 knots, 5 meter/sec

• Operation recommended only during daylight hours and in some

countries it is not even permitted after daylight hours

• Indoor operation possible provided there is enough room for safe

operation

• Operation at rain or heavy snow not recommended

• You have to be careful that sand or dust do not enter into the system

Handle your Quadcopter with care!

# These are some standard requirements on operations of a Quadcopter

with a weight less than 25 Kg/7Kg (may vary from country to country):

• Pilot certificate

• Theoretical training

• Practical training

• Operation manual prepared with safety procedures for usage

• Demonstration/Flight test for the Aviation Authority by the pilot of the

RPAS

• 3 rd 

# Party Liability insurance certificate (Ericsson has a Global insurance)

• Operational/Commercial Permission for the Company

• Airworthiness Approval of the RPAS by the Aviation Authority

• Registration of the aircraft

• Requirements on Frequency band allowed to be used

• Do also check permission to take public photos from the RPAS

(legislations for surveillance cameras)

The requirements to get a license may be very strict in some countries

# Some normal rules for usage of the Quadcopter . (The regulations may

vary from country to country)

• Maximum distance between aircraft and operator: Visual Line of Sight &

500 m (400 feet)

• Maximum flight altitude: 120 m (400 feet)

• Additional permits for flights in urban areas: Normally required

• Additional permits for flights within controlled airspace: Required

• Minimum distance to aerodrome traffic zone: 8 Km (5 miles)

• Min imum distance to flight over an assembly or crowd: 150 m (500 feet)

• Min imum distance to any vessel, vehicle, structure etc. if not controlled by

operator: 150 m (500 feet)

• Min imum distance to any person during take

- off and landing if not

controlled by operator: 50 m (160 feet)

• Min imum distance to aircraft in flight: 2 km (1.2 miles)

Use your common sense to avoid any risk!

# Best practice

Secure that your memory card is empty and installed before you go to site.

I recommend you to buy a bigger memory card, at least 32GB, with adapter so

you can plug in the memory card directly to your laptop to watch the

pictures/videos

Secure that your flying camera has props guards mounted with the protection

wire between the props guards when you take off, to avoid to smash into

antennas and the tower construction

Check that the flying camera is not standing on top of any magnetic material

when you have done the compass calibration as the RPAS may indicate

calibration failure

Always keep the flying camera within visual

- line

- of

- sight at all times to avoid to

loose contact

Secure that you bring both RPAS batteries, main and spare, and that they are

fully charged before you go to the site, as well the smartphone or the tabletFLYING CAMERA PROJECT

# Best practice

It also recommend to have a power converter 12V to 110V

- 220V in the car to

be able to charge the batteries during the transport between the sites

You need a smart

- phone with a display that can be adjusted to very high

brightness to be able to see the camera at strong sunlight

Try to find a spot under a shadow to secure that you can see the display

properly

Try to go to site at mid day, and not in the morning or late afternoon, to avoid

that you get the sunlight directly into the camera

Best is to use Tablet or a hand phone with a display bigger than 4 inches

The application for the flying cameras are only designed for iOS and Android,

not for BlackBerry e.g.FLYING CAMERA PROJECT

# Best practice

You always have to calibrate the compass before take off. (Toggle the S1,

Right button, up and down at least 5 time to enter into calibration mode on

the DJI RPAS)

When necessary activate the Return To Home function and set the new

Home Point before take off (toggling the S2, Left button, up and down at

least 5 time on the DJI RPAS)

It is not so easy to use the flying camera close to a tower or a monopole.

To come close enough you have to calculate the distance between the

camera and the tower from the ground that is not the easiest thing to do

when you are 25

- 30meters from the camera. A lot of training is needed, at

least 50 hours of training is recommended

Study the site drawings before going to the site to get familiar about the

tower structure and the location of the equipment to be able to plan how to

fly the Quadcopter in advanceFLYING CAMERA PROJECT
