### Failsafes: Using DJI WKM v02 GPS autopilot software/hardware to man our UAV’s electronics. Features include GPS Auto Pilot, On Screen Telemetry (flight statistics “battery voltage, altitude, longitude, velocity, rates, etc), Failsafe Go-Home (automatic on low power, can be invoked or canceled by pilot), Quad or Dual 6S Lipo flight batteries for voltage redundancy plus exter

nal low voltage alarms that sound off at pre defined voltage. Only use high discharge rate batteries 65C for constant volt

age curve throughout flight (no drop in voltage discharge as battery power is used). 8 motors/props for redundancy (if 1 or 2 fail the UAV will still fly). Besides these features we also do routine maintenance and preflight safety checks prior to all flights, systems checks between each battery exchange and replace props at the slightest sign of wear (chips/nicks/etc).

Operations / Ground Supervisor - Jason Toth (604) 722-3885 / jason@rvrd.com / 13277 Tulsy Place Surrey, BC
V3W 6C7 - I (jason Toth) am owner, operator, supervisor. I have built and operated many heavy lift multi-rotors over the past 16 months. I have worked on many shows for clients such as (Imax, A&E Network, Lifetime Network, Digital Hydra). I have prior RC flight experience of 4 years using single rotor helicopters. I work in the film industry as a cinematography

, photographer, VFX supervisor (for the past 12 years). We are film makers using this valuable tool for filming (not RC pilots trying to get into the film industry which is unsafe because they do not understand onset etiquette and safety).

Camera Operator - Derek Heidt (604) 935-2045 / derek@rvrd.com / Box 223 Lions Bay , BC, V0N2E0 Our camera operator has worked on 100’s of commercials, tv shows and feature films as 1st and 2nd camera op. There are not many in the industry who have more experience.

Ground Station Tech & Safty P.A. - Jesse Norsworthy (604) 720-6491 / jesse@rvrd.com / Box 1132, 2480 Hastings St Est Vancouver, BC, V5K1Z1 Our ground station/safety assistant is also our 2nd camera operator. Again working in the industry as a camera op for many years. He has been trained to fully know the aerial rig and on making sure the flight
area is secure at all times.

### PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

Environmental: □ Check for people, animals, property in the flight vicinity. □ Notify any bystanders or nearby property owner of your intentions. □ If flying in controlled airspace, notify airspace authority of your intentions. □ First Aid / Safety Kit on hand, stocked, readily accessible, and visible to anyone in the area

Equipment: □ Cracks (especially in high stress areas like joints) □ Loose or damaged screws / fasteners / bands / straps / ties □ Loose or damaged wiring □ Loose or damaged connections (solder, plugs, etc) □ Inspect prop mounts & screws & apply slight counter pressure on arms to check for loosened construction □ Battery/batteries fully charged, properly seated & secured □ Remove props and test fail-safe behavior (if applicable) □ Props are smooth and free of damage/defect (check blade, surface, & hub) □ Tighten prop adapters (careful not to over tighten which may damage prop) □ Ensure voltage alarm is connected □ Ensure arming/idle timeout is properly configured (6-15 seconds is generally acceptable) □ Check whether the right model is selected in the transmitter (if applicable) □ Check your RC transmitter shows the right range and centering for all sticks □ If desired, perform range test

Pre Flight: □ View Canada Flight Suppliment / VFR Nav Charts and notify terminals
□ Secure Location □ Set up boundries with cones/markers □ Saftey meeting with all crew and production personnel □ Have all none essential production personnel leave landing/take of f zones □ Batteries charged & secured □ Position quad in a level, safe location for takeoff □ If using onboard video recorder (i.e., Gopro), turn on camera □ All transmitter controls move freely in all directions, Trims neutral, switches typically away
□ Transmitter throttle to zero
□ Radio transmitter on □ Connect/power on battery to airframe
□ Ensure led indicators & audible tones are all correct □ Scan for nearby people, animals or obstructions again □ Stand clear - audibly, loudly announce the word "CLEAR, ARMING MOTORS!" □ Arm flight controller □ Increase throttle slightly listening for any abnormalities □ Short 20-30 second hover at 3-5 feet (listen for any vibrations or anything that sounds abnormal)

Imposed Restrictions: - We change props every 100hrs or any sign of wear - We rebuild the UAV every 200hrs - checking wires, welds, connections, etc - We do not fly within 3 meters of any obsticals - We do not fly over an persons or moving object unless following are meet and approved by SFOC / Production. - We fly only line of sight with a maximum distance & hight of 50m unless required in which we reassess the risk - Since we fly for film/commercial our average velocity does not exceed 1.5m per sec - We require a tech survey and rehearsal day on all productions - We lock off the location to none production personnel (either by using productions assistants, police and tape) - All production personal have to sign and liability/property release form to be allowed onset - All personnel have to stand behind the UAV operator at no less than 10 meter distance - We go though our safety/pre flight checklist and have safety meeting with production personnel - Once the above have been meet we are then able to arm engines which is called out and count down begins - We do a quick takeoff and landing checking all systems before we begin shooting - we only take off a Manual type mode
since GPS is unreliable. - Inflight we monitor the system with our OSD telemetry - We land the UAV at no less than 22.5volts loaded (we use 6S batteries so this is 3.8 volts per cell loaded which relates to 20% life left in batteries loaded or 30% none loaded (we only fly with dual/parallel batteries for redundancy).

### Rogue CHECKLIST

Notes: 1) Only fly GPS if location warrants it, otherwise fly Manual/ATT 2) Make sure batteries are fully charged and have alarms are set to go off when below 30% or 3.9v loaded 3) Confirm failsafe activates with remote switch and loss of radio reception. 4) Refer and familiarizer ones self with “Risk Management” sheet

If Rogue UAV should happen follow the below: 1. Warn local spectators if any

2. If within controlled airspace, contact the local ATC (number will be taken from the CFS ahead of time and will be on hand) and give the following details:
a. Location b. Issue – Rogue UAV c. Description of situation and UAV d. Heading/Altitude/Speed/Endurance

3. If within uncontrolled airspace, notify any aircraft within the vicinity on the frequency 126.7 or frequency taken from CFS ahead of time for specific area. Give the following details: a. Location (use landmarks as aircraft may not be able to interpret latitude and longitude) b. Issue – Rogue UAV c. Description of situation and UAV d. Heading/Altitude/Speed/Endurance

4. Contact 911 with the following information: a. Location (use landmarks along with latitude and longitude) b. Issue – Rogue UAV c. Description of situation and UAV d. Heading/Altitude/Speed/Endurance

5. Follow the Emergency Contingency Plan and Security Plan detailed on page 10 and 11 of the SFOC application**Property Public Safety**

**Film Location Managers & Producer make sure to: - notify all businesses about filming**  **- notify and secure buildings if being film for production - obtain all releases forms property owners**  **- obtain proper film permits from city/parks/etc - lock off locations to all non-essential personnel via PA or police**  **- have signage for closures and areas of interest - obtain production insurance for personal/liability/property** **- To lock off a location police are hired and the area is closed to all non production personal/traffic/etc. Then "locations" would have a crew of 2-6**  **people closing off the set to non-important personnel from entering the area.**

**Public roads are closed by police or production so** **there is no risk to any none production personnel since**  **the streets are clears of people/cars. If the road can't**
