Before	Accepting	an Assignment

Define	the Objective

When	discussing	a	possible	flight	with	a	client,	the	objective	for the

flight	must	be	made	clear.	Both	the	client	and	PIC	must	be comfortable

with	the	goals	and	limit ations	of	the operation.

What	is	the	footage	to	be	used	for?	What	kinds	of	shots	are required?

From	what	distance,	at	what	focal	length	and	how	long	do	the shots

need	to	be.	Can	you	remain	aloft	long	enough	to	get	the	required shots?

If	the	client	require s	operations	that	our	UAV	and	crew cannot

reasonably	be	expected	to	undertake,	a	handoff	to	a	larger	UAV or

manned	aircraft	is indicated.

UAV	Operational Limitations

Company	UAVs	have	a	limited	flight	time,	maximum	payload	and limited

camera	and	gimbal	f unctionality.	Flight	operations	must	be designed

within	the	limitations	of	the	aircraft	and accessories.

FAR	Procedural Limitations

Statutory	regulations	for	UAV	operations	and	limitations	contained in

the Grant	of	Exemption place multiple restrictions	o n	flight	operations.

During	initial	client consultations, these	limitations	must	be	clearly

communicated.	If	the client’s requirements	exceed	any	of	these

limitations,	the	operation	must either be	declined	or	modified	to

comply	with	the	operating	restricti ons	in the Grant	of	Exemption

.

Company	Operating Procedures

Company	Operating	Procedures	as	outlined	in	this	manual	must be

followed	to	insure	a	safe	environment	for	flight	operations	and comply

with	the	terms	of	the Grant	of	Exemption

.Letter	of Agree ment

A	signed	Letter	of	Agreement	must	be	obtained	prior	to	any flight

operations.	The	letter	explains	the	company	policies	regarding safety,

weather	minimums,	PIC	and	UAV	limitations	as	well	as	FAA operational

restrictions.

## Chapter 2

Safety Considerati ons

Safety of N on

- -- Participants and Property

The safety of no n

- -- participants and property is t h e h ighest m ission

priority. All operations m ust be conducted in such a m anner as to

reduce the risk of injury or property da m age.

. A car or house

m ight provide s u ch protection.

Safety	of	Talent	and Crew

Talent and Crew should be briefed that U AV operations w ill occur o n set

before they accept their contract so that they have the opportunity to

evaluate the risks before arriving on set.

Before flight operations, the crew w ill be briefed on the safety

proce du res by t h e PIC. Additionally, before each flight, t h e PIC w ill

m ake a Safety A nno u nce m ent and explain the details of the flight as w ell

as any e m ergency procedures. The l os t

- -- link recovery area w ill b e	clearly

m arked and talent and crew w ill re m ain clear of this area during	flight

operations.

Environmental Factors

The	PIC	has	the	sole	authority	for	the	safety	of	flight.	External factors

must	not	influence	the	PIC	to	und ertake	a	flight	that	is	not	safe	or legal.

Various	environmental	factors	will	determine	the	feasibility	of flight

operations.		Wind,	including	gusty	conditions,	visibility,	rain, snow,darkness,	obstacles,	unsecure	set	and	other	factors	must	be evaluate d

before	each flight.

It	is	the	sole	duty	of	the	PIC	to	become	aware	of	all environmental

factors	that	will	affect	the	safe	conduct	of	flight.	If	the	flight	cannot be

safely	conducted	for	any	reason	whatsoever,	the	flight	must	be delayed,

aborted	or cance lled.

National	Airspace Awareness

The PIC w ill at all ti m es be co m pletely a w are of his locati o n w ithin the

N ational A irspace ( NA S). T his includes the planned or potential flight

path of t h e UAV under h is control, including t h e flight path of a lo s t

- -- l ink

e m erge n cy procedure.

Operation	in	Class	A	airspace	is	prohibited.	Operation	in	all other

airspace	is	regulated	by	the	restrictions	specified	in	the Grant	of

Exemption issued	by	the FAA.

Additionally,	Flight	Operations	will	not	be	conducted	within the

following	distances	from	airports	or heliports:

5	nautical	miles	(NM)	from	an	airport	having	an operational

control	tower; or

3	NM	from	an	airport	with	a	published	instrument flight

procedure,	but	not	an	operational	tower; or

2	NM	from	an	airport	without a	published	instrument flight

procedure	or	an	operational	tower; or

2	NM	from	a	heliport	with	a	published	instrument flight

procedure

PIC	will	yield	right	of	way	to	all	other	aircraft	operating	in	the vicinity,

manned	or unmanned.

ForeFlight Software

T he	PIC	will	determine	his	position	in	the	NAS	using ForeFlight

software.		A	current	subscription	must	be	maintained	on	the PIC’shandheld	device,	which	must	contain	an	operating	GPS	or	other means

of	determining	precise location.

PIC	Personal Limits

Th e PIC w ill be a w are of his o w n personal li m its. These li m its m ay

inclu d e proxi m ity to structure or talent, low

- -- level operations,

perception of t h e UAV in t h re e

- -- di m ensional space, proposed speed or

diffic u lty of m ane u vering flight or other factors. Th e PIC mu st only

o p erate the UA V w ithin the bo un daries of his p erso n al li m its a n d

abilities. If there is a doubt, the PIC s h o u ld request a p ractice flight so

t h at a c om f o rt le v el m ig h t be establis h ed o r an alternate plan m ight be

developed.

PIC	Personal	W eather Minimums

The PIC should not atte m pt a flight in w eather conditions that exceed	his

personal m ini mum s. W ind condit i o n s in the la un ch a n d recovery	area

are a pri m e consideration. These personal m ini m u m s should be

established in advance using a ha ndheld ane m o m eter to reduce the o n

## Chapter	3 Operational

Limitations

Daytime	Only Operations

Flight operations will be conducted during daylight only as defined in

the Grant	of	Exemption .	Nighttime	flight is prohibited.

VFR	Weather	Conditions Only

Flight operations will be conducted with at least 3 statute miles

visibility.

Cloud	Clearance Mini mums

Flight	 operations	 will	 be	 conducted	 with	 the	 following	 VFR cloud

clearance	 minimums:	 500’	 below,	 2,000’	 horizontal	 and	 1,000	 	 feet

above.

Visual	Line	of	Sight (VLOS)

Flight	operations	must	be	conducted	by	Visual	Line	of	Sight	(VLOS). The

PIC	or	Vis ual	Observer	(VO)	may	not	use	any	device	other	than the

corrective	lenses	specified	on	the	PICs	Medical Certificate.

Maximum Altitude

Flight O p eratio n s m ust be co n ducted at less than 400’ AG L. A ltitude is

calculated by the o n

- -- board Flight Controller Soft w are usi n g GP S altitude

calculations. T hese calculations reference the takeoff (and return point)

altitude infor m ation. This infor m ati o n is stored auto m atically prior to

flight.

To	insure	compliance	with	the	400’AGL	restri ction,	and	to	provide an

additional	level	of	safety,	the	maximum	altitude	setting	in	the Flight

Controller	Software	shall	be	set	to	100	meters	(328	feet).		This	will notallow	the	PIC	to	command	a	climb	above	328’AGL.	This altitude

restriction	remains	in effect	during	a	lost	control	link	event	since the

Flight	Controller	Software	is	located	on	board	the UAS.

Maximum	Horizontal	Distance	from	the PIC

The Grant	 of	 Exemption specifies	 VLOS	 as	 the	 only	 horizontal flight

restriction.	Company	Policy	is	to	set the	maximum	horizontal distance

in	the	Flight	Controller	Software	to	200	Meters	(656	feet)	during normal

operations.	This	provides	an	additional	level	of	safety	and	mitigates the

possibility	 of	 radio	 frequency	 interference	 or	 loss	 of	 signal strength

from the transmitter.

Maximum Speed

The	maximum	speed	for	Flight	Operations	is	100	MPH	(87	Knots). The

PIC	should	never	operate	the	UAV	at	a	speed	at	which	positive	control of

the	aircraft	is	in	question.		Additionally,	the	UAV	must	not	be operated

at	a	spe ed	in	excess	of	the	manufacturer’s recommendations.
