DC 20590 RE: Exemption Request Section
333 of the FAA Reform
Act To Whom

It May Concern: Pursuant

to Section
333 of the FAA Modernization

and Reform
Act of 2012 (the "Reform Act"), and
14 C.F .R. Part 11, ViewPoint Media, LLC,

a professional media company, hereby applies

for an exemption
from the Federal Aviation regulations listed below

to allow operation

of

a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) commercially

in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA),

so long

as such operations

are conducted within and under conditions outlined herein

or as may be established

by the FAA

as required by Section 333.1 As described more fully below,
the requested exemption would permit
the operation

of small, unmanned

and relatively inexpensive sUASs under controlled airspace that

is (1) limited;

(2) predetermined;

and (3) controlled

as to access

. Approval

of this proposed exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary

of Transportation's

(the "FAA Administrator's

" ) responsibilities

to "establish requirements

for the safe operations

of such aircraft systems

in the national airspace system." Section 333(c)

of the Reform Act SUMMARY ViewPoint Media Solutions, LLC,

is
a media and technology company owned and run by Christopher
West and Steve Chant, and plans

will be provided

in accordance

with Federal
and local laws and regulations regarding

the use of

s UAS, conservation

and related manners

. In addition, ViewPoint Media Solutions, LLC, will use sUAS footage

to independently research
and produce documentaries

and other news videos

on issues relevant

to the region. The Applicant seeks
an exemption

to operate
the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K (the "Typhoon") for compensation

or hire within

H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes

the procedural requirements

for the issuance

of airworthiness certificates

as required

by 14 CFR

§ 91.203(a)(l).
Given
the size and limited operating
area associated
with Phantom

3, an exemption
from Part 21, Subpart

H meets the requirements

of an equivalent
level
of safety under Part

11 and Section
333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation
Act (49 USC§ 44701(f))

and Section
333 of the Reform
Act both authorize

the FAA

to exempt aircrafts from the requirement

for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration

of the size, weight, speed, operational capability,

and proximity

to airports and populated areas
of the particular UAS.

In all cases
an analysis

of these criteria demonstrates

that

a sUAS operated without

an airworthiness certificate,

in the restricted environment

and under the conditions proposed

will be at least

as safe,
or safer, than

a conventional aircraft (fixed-wing

or rotorcraft) operating
with an airworthiness certificate without

the restrictions

and conditions proposed. Here
an equivalent
level
of safety will be reached because

the sUAS

to be operated hereunder is less than
55 lbs. fully loaded, carries neither

a pilot nor passenger,

and carries

no explosive materials

or flammable liquid fuels. Based
on the sUAS's light weight and carbon fiber and plastic construction,

the sUAS will be at least

as safe,

if not safer than

a conventionally certificated aircraft performing

the same mission. These safety enhancements,
which already apply

to civil aircraft operated

in connection

with existing inspection operations, provide

a greater degree

of safety

to the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted
with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart

H. Lastly, application

of these same criteria demonstrates

that there is no credible threat

to national security posed
by the sUAS due
to its size, speed

of operation, location

of operation,

lack of explosive materials

or flammable liquid fuels, and inability

to carry

a substantial external load. 14 CFR Part 27: Airworthiness Standard: Normal Category Rotorcraft 14 CFR Part 27 sets forth the procedural requirements

for airworthiness certification

of normal category rotorcraft.

To the extent
the Applicant's sUAS would otherwise require certification under Part 27, as

a rotorcraft,

the Applicant requests

an exemption
from Part 27's airworthiness standard

for the same reasons identified

in the exemption request from

14 CFR Part 21, Subpart

H. 14 CFR 45.23Cb). 45.27Ca)
and 91.9(c)- Marking
and Identification Reguirements The Application
seeks
an exemption
from the aircraft marking
and identification requirements in 14 CFR 45.23(b),

45

. 27(a), and 91.9(c). These regulations require that when marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number

is displayed

on limited, restricted

or light sport category aircraft

or experimental

or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display certain terms near each entrance

to the cabin, cockpit,

or pilot station,

in letters not less than two inches

or more than six inches high. Here, the sUAS will not be issued

an airworthiness certificate

and there will be no cabin

or cockpit upon which 4

Authority Section 333, titled "Special Rules
for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems," provides

a mechanism

for seeking expedited FAA authorization

of safe civil UAS operations

in National Airspace ("NAS"). Section 333(a) states that the FAA "shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely

in the national airspace system before completion

of the (comprehensive)

plan and rule making required

by Section 332(b)(1)

of this Act or the guidance required

by section
334 of the Act."

In Section 332(b)(1), Congress made it clear that Section provides

a mechanism

for "expedited operation authorization"

if several factors
are met. The Applicant meets

all requirements

to permit FAA approval

of commercial UAS operations

and such
an exemption should

be granted. Thank you for your consideration, /Gct£-r Owner and Managing Member ViewPoint Media Solutions, LLC EIN 81-1487512 630 Huntridge Drive Columbia,

## Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines

WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/ or serious injury as the mishandling 

### of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.

• You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.

• Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
• After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.

• To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.

• If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 

### 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.

• Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low
can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration
or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.

• Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.



### 7 • When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approximately 

### 40-120° F 

### (5-49° C). Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.

• Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during
use.
• Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.

• Never allow children under 

### 14 years of age to charge batteries.

• Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.

• Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.

• Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.

• AJways inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.

• Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging.

• Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's safer and better for the longevity of the battery to store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery approximately 

### 50% charged (which is around 3.85V per cell) is typically best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not, simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not over-discharged on the last flight).

## Charging The Batteries

WARNING: Lithium lon (Lilon) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as 

### the mishandling of Lilon/LiPo batteries
can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included Lilon/LiPo batteries you assume all risks associated with them. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.

CHARGING THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY You can power the SC3500-3 charger from a 100- 240V AC outlet using the AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the corresponding adapter. Once you've verified the charger is powered on and ready to charge (green blinking LED), plug the balance connector charge lead into the charger, then connect the LiPo flight battery to the charge lead. The battery will begin charging (red blinking LED) and it will take approximately 2 hours to charge
a fully discharged (not over-discharged) battery.

CHARGING THE LI-ION ST10+ BATTERY You can charge the Lilon battery installed in the ST10+ from a 100-240V AC outlet using the USB adapter/charger, or from a suitable USB power source (2.0 amps max), with the USB to micro USB cable. While the ST10+ is powered off connect the cable to the USB adapter/charger, then plug it into the USB connector/charging port on the right side. After approximately 30-45 seconds the LED indicator for the battery will blink blue while the battery is charging, and will glow solid blue when the battery is fully charged. It will take approximately 5.5 hours to charge a fully discharged (not over-discharged ) battery.

NOTE: The AC plug

## Installing The Propellers

WARNING: 

### We recommend wearing gloves and using extreme care when installing the propellers/rotor blades. 

# !11

**~**



# ~ 

# jfJ

Each motor and propeller are marked with an 'A' or 'B' to ensure easy installation in the correct positions (for example: install propellers marked with 'A' on motors marked with 'A').
IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### It is NOT possible to install a propeller marked with 'A' on a motor marked with 'B'. The threads go in different directions for the 'A' and 'B' motors/propellers.


### Step 1) Use the special tool (included) to hold the motor so it cannot spin

. CAUTION: 

### Do not over-tighten the propellers when using the tool.


### Step 2) Install the corresponding propeller by rotating it trialing edge first until it's secure against the o-ring located at the bottom of the motor shaft. You may want to add this: Continue to screw down the propeller 1-1.5 turns more to ensure it is properly tighten and compressing the 0-rings slightly.


### Step 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the three remaining propellers securely.

### QUICK TIP: 1. Double tap on the screen to increase the size of the video viewing area to full-screen and double tap again to return to the standard size. 2. Single tap to hide the camera settings, tap again to display camera settings.



### WARNING: NEVER attempt to fly the TYPHOON via First-Person View (FPV). There's a slight 'lag' in the 

### CG03 streaming video downlink to the ST10+, and as a result the streaming video/FPV should only be used for aligning camera shots and not for flying! Attempting to fly via FPV can result in a crash that will cause damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury.



### IMPORTANT NOTE: Streaming video from the 

### CG03 to the ST10+ and to a separate phone/tablet (or another Yuneec transmitter/personal ground station) at the same time is NOT recommended as it will result in a very significant lag in the video downlink. 

### 11

# ST10+ Accessorie s

You can install the included and optional-use Neck Strap to help hold and support the ST10+. You can also install the included and optional-use LCD Screen Sun Shade/Shield to help improve viewing in sun light.



### QUICK TIP: It may be helpful to apply suitable anti-glare screen protector material over the LCD screen to further improve viewing in sun light.



### CAUTION: Do not bend, or move around in excess as the strap can come unhooked from the ST10+ and potentially fall and damage the sensitive electronic components. 

# Flight Controls

NOTE: The information in this and the following sections refers to the default 'Mode 2' control configuration of the ST10+. The left-hand stick on the ST10+ controls the throttle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw left/right) channels

.. When the left-hand stick (also known as the throttle stick) is in the middle position during flight the TYPHOON will maintain the current altitude. 

### As you move the stick upward the TYPHOON will climb, and as you move the stick downward the TYPHOON will descend. The farther away from the middle position you move the stick the faster the TYPHOON will climb or descend. 12 

### IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum altitude is limited to 400 feet (122 meters) AGL (Above Ground Level) in both Smart and Angle (Pilot) Mode. And although this limit can be adjusted using the 

### USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using the default limit at all times.

Maintain Altitude

Descend 

### I Land

Moving the left-hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the left about the vertical axis. And moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the right.



# ~



# ~

### PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER
The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST10+ allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for first-time pilots and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for the highest control rates (best for experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet MSL). Or use a position in between if you prefer.



### SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
the TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be
selected via the Flight Mode Selection Switch located just above the right-hand control stick.

**~**



### 13 

# Flight Controls

- Smart Mode

When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top position the TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode.

Although we recommend learning to fly the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in which also features 'Follow Me' and 'Watch Me' functions.

In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left the TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it's spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.

## Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines

WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must 

### be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling 

### of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.

• You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.

• Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
• After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.

• To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.

• If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 

### 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.

• Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low
can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration
or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.

• Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.



### 7 • When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approximately 

### 40-120° F 

### (5-49° C). Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
• Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during
use.
• Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.

• Never allow children under 

### 14 years of age to charge batteries.
• Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.

• Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.
• Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.
• Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.
• Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging.
• Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's safer and better for the longevity of the battery to store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery approximately 50% charged (which is around 3.85V per cell) is typically best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not, simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not over-discharged on the last flight).

## Charging The Batt eries

WARNING: Lithium lon (Lilon) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as 

### the mishandling of Lilon/LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the induded Lilon/LiPo batteries you assume all risks associated with them. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.

# ST10+ Accessories

You can install the included and optional-use Neck Strap to help hold and support the ST10+. You can also install the included and optional-use LCD Screen Sun Shade/Shield to help improve viewing in sun light.

QUICK TIP: 

### It may be helpful to apply suitable anti-glare screen protector material over the LCD screen to further improve viewing in sun light.

CAUTION: 

### Do not bend, or move around in excess as the strap can come unhooked from the ST10+ and potentially fall and damage the sensitive electronic components. 

# Flight Controls

NOTE: 

### The information in this and the following sections refers to the default 'Mode 2' control configuration of the ST10+. The left-hand stick on the ST10+ controls the throttle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw left/right) channels

.. When the left-hand stick (also known as the throttle stick) is in the middle position during flight the TYPHOON will maintain the current altitude. 

### As you move the stick upward the TYPHOON will climb, and as you move the stick downward the TYPHOON will descend. The farther away from the middle position you move the stick the faster the TYPHOON will climb or descend. 12 IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### The maximum altitude is limited to 400 feet (122 meters) AGL (Above Ground Level) in both Smart and Angle (Pilot) Mode. And although this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using the default limit at all times.

Maintain Altitude

Descend 

### I Land

Moving the left-hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the left about the vertical axis. And moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the right.



# ~



# ~

### PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER
The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST10+ allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for first-time pilots and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for the highest control rates (best for experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet MSL). Or use a position in between if you prefer.**~**



### SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
the TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be selected via the Flight Mode Selection Switch located just above the right-hand control stick.



### 13 

## Flight Controls- Smart M ode

When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top position the TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode.

Although we recommend learning to fly the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in which also features 'Follow Me' and 'Watch Me' functions.

In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left the TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it's spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode

.

Important Note: In Follow Me function, the aircraft will maintain a constant altitude and cannot detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altitude by for example, moving to higher ground, during flight should be mindful of this.



## 14WATCH ME FUNCTION

Watch Me function enables the camera to keep tracking the remote controller no matter where and how it moves as the camera can automatically tilt its angle according to the controller. Usually, the default function under Smart Mode is Follow Me. Watch Me function can be switched to by following steps:

NOTE: Once the TYPHOON is above 2m and out of Smart Circle during flying, the TYPHOON yaw direction will take the control itself. Camera lens will always point to you as long as Flight Mode Selection Switch is in Smart Mode. Please put the CG03 Pitch Angle/Position Control Slider in the middle position. If you want to trim the camera angle up, then just

move the Pitch Angle/Position Control Slider a bit up. If you want to trim the camera angle down, just move the slider down.

### Additional Smart Mode Features:

*SMART CIRCLE In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON from coming within approximately 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26 feet/8 meters behind the TYPHOON

.
GEO-FENCE The geo-fence is a virtual 'barrier' that will keep the TYPHOON from traveling further than 300 feet (91 meters). Although this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using the default limit at all times.

WARNING: Smart Mode only works when the TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you take off in Smart Mode and the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon
as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 

### 'fly away.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty.

# Flight Controls

- Angle (Pilot) M ode

When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the middle position the TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode.


# + 

# + @ +

+ Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because the TYPHOON will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left the TYPHOON will bank toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the front/nose of the TYPHOON is pointing away from you it will move to the left, but if the front/nose is pointing at you the TYPHOON will move to the right.

Additional Angle (Pilot) Mode Features:

POSITION HOLD AND SELF-LEVELING the TYPHOON will automatically hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) and maintain a level attitude when the right-hand stick is centered.

WARNING: If you do not properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty.

### ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots who aren't quite ready to land the TYPHOON themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate Home Mode until the TYPHOON automatically moves toward the home position, and
once you've confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the TYPHOON ever loses the link with the ST10+ it will automatically enter Home Mode.

When Home Mode is activated the lYPHOON will respond as follows:



### 17 A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will maintain the current altitude, fly back to the home point,

STEP 1) 

### Push the area at the top of the battery door to release the latch/lock, and then open the door.

STEP 

### 2) With the side of the battery cartridge that has the 'UP' arrow marking oriented upward, hold the handle and slide the battery into the battery compartment until you feel the connector make a positive connection. NOTE: 

### If you do not install the battery in the correct orientation it will not be possible to make a positive connection.

WARNING: 

### Do not force the battery in to make the connection. It should be smooth with little restriction. If it feels tight remove the battery check the connector pins for alignment, and try again. Forcing the battery in can damage the connector and potentially cause the TYPHOON to loose power in flight.

STEP 

### 3) Close the battery door by pushing the area at the top to engage the latch/lock. NOTE: 

### If the door will not close because it's coming into contact with the handle on the battery cartridge, the battery is not inserted far enough to engage the connector properly.



### 21 

## GPS Functionality

the TYPHOON requires a suitable GPS signal/lock in order to start the motors and to be flown. This means it should only be operated outdoors in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstructions. And in order to acquire a suitable GPS signal/lock it's critical that the GPS antenna installed in the top of the TYPHOON always have a clear view of the sky 

### (100° minimum clearance required).

WARNING: 

### Do NOT attempt to fly
near or between tall buildings/obstructions, near or under dense vegetation, structures or indoors. Do NOT attempt to fly the TYPHOON with GPS enabled indoors or in any location known to have poor GPS coverage. And do NOT disable/turn off GPS unless you're able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode without GPS assistance and accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or 'fly aways'.

If the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock while flying it can only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode. Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features, will no longer work. And the Main LED Status Indicator will flash purple and the LED Status Indicators below the motors will flash three (3) times per second then will stay off for one (1) second when the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock (or if GPS has been disabled/turned off).

If the GPS signal/lock is reacquired (after receiving 

### 5-10 seconds of suitable GPS signal), Smart Mode and Home Mode will work again.

WARNING: 

### Loss of GPS signal/lock may result in a crash or even a 'fly away'.IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty.

NO-FLY ZONES With a suitable GPS signal/lock it will not be possible to start the motors, takeoff or fly the TYPHOON in the 'No-Fly Zones' within a 4 mile (6.4 kilometer) radius of most major airports. 

# Preparing to 

# Fly

WARNING: Before flying you MUST review and understand all of the NOTICES AND WARNINGS and the GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS found near the beginning of this instruction manual. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury.

WARNING: Always operate the TYPHOON in open areas (approximately 10000 square feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings.

Never attempt to operate the TYPHOON nearby tall buildings/obstructions that do not offer a clear view of the sky (a minimum clearance of 100°).

After selecting a suitable flying area, please follow these steps:

Step 1) ALWAYS turn the ST10+ on and allow it to boot up fully BEFORE turning the TYPHOON on.

22 IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're a first-time pilot we strongly recommend putting the Flight Mode Selection Switch (located just above the right-hand control stick) in the top position to activate Smart Mode. Or, if you're an experienced RC/drone pilot we strongly recommend putting the switch in the middle position to activate Angle (Pilot) Mode.

Step 2) Place the TYPHOON on a level and stable surface then slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE TYPHOON UNTIL THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS IS COMPLETE. The Main LED Status Indicator on the bottom of the TYPHOON will show one of the following indications when initialization is complete:

Step 5) Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind the TYPHOON.Step 6) Press and hold the red START/STOP button for approximately three (3) seconds to start the motors. Or you can lower the left-hand stick all the way, move it all the way to the left, then all the way to the right and back to the middle to start the motors.


# Flying

TAKEOFF

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the TYPHOON in winds that exceed 8-12 miles per hour (13-19 kilometers per hour).

To takeoff, raise the left-hand stick to above the center position. the TYPHOON will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allow the stick to return to the center position when the TYPHOON reaches the desired altitude.

FLYING Take your time learning how the TYPHOON responds to various control inputs while flying. In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. In Angle (Pilot) Mode the TYPHOON will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft (and the 'angle' of movement is determined by how far you push the stick away from the center position). Please see the

23 corresponding sections of this instruction manual for more information on Smart Mode and Angle (Pilot) Mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any time during flight you feel like the TYPHOON is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release both control sticks. the TYPHOON will automatically self-level and will even hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) when both control sticks
are centered. You can also activate Home Mode so the TYPHOON automatically flies itself back to the home point and lands.

LANDING
There are two ways to land the TYPHOON:


### 1) Position the TYPHOON above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to below the center position. the TYPHOON will descend slowly and land. After the TYPHOON lands, press and hold the red START /STOP button for approximately two (2) seconds to stop the motors.

2) Activate Home Mode and the TYPHOON will automatically fly itself back to the home point and will land within a 10 foot (3 meter) diameter circle around it.

NOTE: An alternate form to shut the rotors off in the case of a button failure is to land the TYPHOON and simply switch into Home Mode. The rotors will shut off if the TYPHOON is on the ground.

WARNING: Always land as soon as possible after the first level low voltage battery warning, or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from the ST10+, and by the LED Status Indicators below the Motors flashing rapidly). If at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is below 10.7V, land the TYPHOON immediately.

### AFTER LANDING ALWAYS turn off the TYPHOON BEFORE turning off the ST10+. Then

remove the battery from the TYPHOON and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.

WARNING: Do NOT leave the ST10+ and the TYPHOON powered on and do NOT leave the flight battery installed inside the TYPHOON as doing so
can over-discharge and damage the batteries. Over-discharging can cause damage to the batteries resulting in reduced performance or failure of the batteries entirely.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Battery damage, crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty. 

## Disabling GPS

WARNING: Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features, only work when GPS is active and the TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you disable/turn off GPS the TYPHOON can only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if you cannot properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty.

We do not typically recommend disabling GPS for any reason, especially if you're a first-time or low-time pilot. However, if you're an experienced pilot that's able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode, and you do not exceed any altitude/distance limits or fly in any 'no fly zones' in your area, you can disable/turn off GPS. Do NOT disable/turn off GPS unless you accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or 'fly aways'.



### 24 IMPORTANT NOTE: Every time you turn the TYPHOON on it will default to having GPS active/on (even if you disabled GPS the last time is was powered on). There are two ways to disable the GPS:

### GPS can also 

### be disabled manually: Step 1) While the ST10+ and the TYPHOON are powered on and linked (and the motors are NOT running), move the Proportional Control Rate Slider on the right side of the ST10+ to the uppermost (rabbit) position.
Step 2) Move the right-hand stick all the way to the right and hold it there until step 3 is completed. Step 3) Move the Flight Mode Selection Switch from Smart to Home and Home to Smart mode 4 times in 3 seconds. When GPS has been disabled successfully the TYPHOON will emit an audible indication and the GPS status on the ST10+ screen will show 'Disabled'. Also, the Main LED Status Indicator will flash purple and the LED Status Indicators below the Motors will flash three (3) times per second then will stay off for one (1) second.



## Graphical User Interface (GUI)

You can download the graphical user interface (GUI) software on the TYPHOON product page at www.Yuneec.com. Follow the on-screen instructions to install and operate the software which allows you to see the status of all sensors, to adjust various settings, check GPS accuracy, update firmware and more using the included USB Interface/Programmer.

# Compass Calibration

**W/~ -,~** 



# ~~~

**%/~. ~**  Step 1) Do not calibrate the compass inside parking structures, near buildings or surfaces with metal in them (like roads parking lots with rebar). Only calibrate the compass in open areas/fields far away from power lines and other metallic or concrete surfaces/ structures.

Step 5) When the main LED status indicator flashes red and green slowly (2 times per second) you have entered compass calibration mode. Pick up the aircraft and hold it flat with the nose pointed to the north. After 5 seconds the main LED status indicator should flash red and green rapidly (5 times per second). Step 2) Turn on the transmitter and allow it to boot up fully before turning on the aircraft. And when the transmitter and aircraft are powered on and linked proceed to the next step.

Step 6) Slowly rotate the aircraft 360 degrees toward the north (as illustrated) until it's flat and upright in your hands again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Steps 6 to 9 must be completed in less than 30 seconds in order to successfully complete compass calibration. Step 10) The main LED status indicator should be flashing red and green rapidly (5 times per second). Hold the aircraft as still as possible until it main LED status indicator stops blinking rapidly. 

# ci

Step 11) If you hear an audible indication after the main LED status indicator stops blinking rapidly you have successfully completed compass calibration.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If compass calibration fails the main LED status indicator will glow solid white and you must restart the calibration process.
