### Chapter 2 

# Getting Started

This chapter describes the procedures to follow before fly ing the Aeryon SkyRanger

, including assembly and pre

- flight preparations.


# Assembling the Aeryon SkyRanger

Starting the Base Station

The base station comes pre

- assembled with its antenna . N o assembly is required other turning it on and placing it in an appropriate location

. Power up the base station before turning on other equipment in the system, such as the aerial vehicle and MCS tablet.

To start the base station:

1. Ensure that the antenna is pointing up at an angle such that the side of the antenna points in the direction of anticipated flight

. If you plan to fly the vehicle over the base station

, do not point the
antenna straight up, as this will present a weak connection zone above the base station.

2. On the back of the base station, p ress the power button

. The LED s on the base station turn on and change from orange to green during
start

- up, which takes approximately 30 seconds.

3. Place the base station 1 m or more off the ground (such as on a tripod or on the roof of a car) , to ensure good communications between the base station and the aerial vehicle.
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices,

a ll personnel must maintain a distance of at least 23 cm from the base stati on. Tip

- Flight Activities

This chapter describes typical post

- flight activities, such as how to :

 S wap batteries between back

- to

- back flights while maintaining GPS lock

 Transfer and view videos and photo images from the aerial vehicle

 D ismantle and pack the Aeryon SkyRanger


# Changing Batteries b etween Flights

If you plan to execute multiple back

- to

- back flights in the same area, you can swap in a fresh battery between flights without losing the GPS lock.

There is a 20 second window in which the GPS lock will be maintained while you rem ove the old battery and insert a fresh one

. This applies to both the aerial vehicle and base station. If you take longer than 20 seconds to change a batter y , you will need to wait a longer time for a new GPS lock to be acquired.
Always press the batt ery’s Power button to turn it OFF before removing it from the aerial vehicle, to avoid interrupting any data being written to the vehicle’s SD card.


# Freeing Up Memory for Videos and Images

During each flight, video and image files are stored on a Secure Digital (SD) memory card, located in a card slot underneath the camera pay l oad on the aerial vehicle.
After each flight, check the memory in the Status area, to evaluate whether you need to replace the SD card with one that has enough free memory for subsequent flights

. 

### !



### !About the SkyRanger

13 

# 2 8 Getting Started

Freeing up memory on the SD card is important for the following reasons:

 If an SD card is full during a manual or regular waypoints flight, a warning is displayed and the vehicle stops acquiring new photos and video

.

 If an SD memo ry card becomes full during an AutoGridTM flight

, it immediately returns Home and lands automatically. Therefore, for AutoGrid flights, it is particularly important to download all video and images from the SD card before flying, to make sure that there is sufficient memory available.



## Replacing the SD Card in the Vehicle

When you need to remove and replace the Secure Digital ( SD ) memory card:

1. Remove the camera payload from the bottom of the aerial vehicle.

2. In the vehicle’s payload bay, remove the SD card by pressing it in further so that it pops out for easy removal.

3. Insert a new SD card into the slot, and press until it clicks into place.
The system is designed to use standard Class 10 SD cards.

## Storing and Transporting SMART Batteries

Batteries require care to ensure a l ong and reliable lifespan. F ollow these guidelines for safe storage and transport :

 Store the batteries in an Aeryon product case or in a fireproof container , in temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius

.

 Do not leave fully

- charged batteries on the charger in a powered on state

.

 When leaving a battery on the aerial vehicle, always make sure t hat it is powered off. Failure to do so will drain the battery to zero charge and will permanently degrade the capacity of the battery

.

 If the system will not be used for 2 weeks or more

, drain the batteries to between 40% and 60% capacity (2 or 3 LED indicators), before storing them in a fireproof container. Failure to do so will permanently degrade the capacity of the battery.

 Standard grad e SMART batteries can be transport ed on a commercial airline as carry

- on ba ggage . They cannot be checked into cargo. Consult your airline for the most up

- to

- date regulations.

 For details on how to transport Long Endurance grade SMART batteries, contact Aeryon Support.



## Disposing of Batteries

When batteries have reached end of life, you can:

 Dispose of them safely as per local requirements, or...

 Contact Aeryon Labs for a quote on refurbishing the batteries, and for instructions on how to return the batteries for recycling or refurbishment.
In the event of an aerial vehicle crash, inspect the battery for damage. If there is any damage to the battery:

 Do not use or ship the damaged battery.

 Contact Aeryon Customer Support to inform them of the event, and to receive any special instructions on handling the battery.

 Take the damaged battery outdoors and immerse it in a bucket of sand to reduce any fire hazar ds

.

 Contact local hazardous materials disposal services to dispose of the damaged battery. 

### !21 

# 3 System
Maintenance



## Other Battery Safety Considerations

 Use only the SMART Battery charger provided with the system

.

 D o not leave batteries unattended while charging

.

 Do not leave a ba tter y on the aerial vehicle for an extended period of time in a powered on state. If you plan to leave it on the vehicle, always power it off.
Do not puncture the batteries. The lithium polymer cells store a great deal of energy and may burn very hot if severely damaged (e.g. crushed or punctured).

 Never use or ship a damaged battery. Follow steps described above in Disposing of Batteries

.

 If a battery does not charge or fails to power up an aerial vehicle, contact Aeryon Customer Support.

# 3 System
Maintenance



# Propeller Arm Maintenance

Regular Arm and Propeller Inspection

Arm and propeller inspection should be performed :

 every 5 flight hours

 after flights involving winds in excess of 40 kph

 after a hard landing or crash
Inspecting propeller arms involves carefully checking for stress cracks.
Perform your propeller inspection in adequate lighting

– s tress cracks can be very small and dif ficult to see

.

Pay particular attention to these areas:

Chipped propeller tips are considered serious one more than half the pa inted area on the leading edge is gone

, or when the vehicle reports yaw errors on a consistent basis when flying. Do not operate the system if a propeller tip is chipped to this extent. Tip

The root of the propeller
near the hub. Motor basket, where the motor mount
screws attach.

. Propeller tips

– some chipping may occur, but is considered serious once
more than half the painted area on the leading edge is gone.

.

What to Do After a Hard Landing

Moderately Hard Landing

If the aerial vehicle experiences a moderately hard landing in which the propeller arms come off or impact the ground, check for damage as follows:

1. Visually e xamine the propeller arms for cracks or damage, as described in Regular Arm and Propeller Inspection in Chapter 4 : System Maintenance

. 2. Examine the propellers for chips or cracks. Twist the propeller blades and observe the leading edge for delamination.

3. Check the rubber grommets on the aluminum cooling plates below the propeller for wear, and check the cooling plate for deformation.

4. Inspect the leaf pins in the propeller arm sockets, to ensure they are not deformed or bent.
If any damage is found in an arm or propeller, replace the propeller arm with a spare, and return the damaged parts for repair or replacement.



## Severe Landing or Crash

If the aerial vehicle experiences a very hard landing or crash, check for damage as follows:

1. If the battery is still att ached , do the following without lifting or tilting the vehicle:

 C heck to see if the aerial vehicle’s gre en status light is showing the
R eady condition (3 flashes then pause). Make note of this for reporting to Aeryon Labs.

 D isconnect the battery

. 2. Examine t he battery for damage.

Any break in the outside casing

, or evidence of leaking fluids

, means the battery must be prepared for disposal

. See Disposing of Batteries in Chapter 4 : System Maintenance

. 3. Remove the propeller arms, camera payload and legs.

4. Examine the vehicle body for cracks and damage. Any break in the external case requires the aerial vehicle be returned for servicing.

5. Visually examine the propeller arms for cracks or damage, as described in Regular Arm and Propeller Inspection in Chapter 4 : System Maintenance

. 6. Examine the propellers for chips or cracks. Twist the propeller blades and observe the leading edge for delamination.

7. Inspect the leaf pins in the propeller arm sockets, to ensure they are not deformed or bent.
If any damage is found in an arm or propeller, replace the propeller arm with a spare, and return the damaged parts for repair or replacement.

8. Check the aerial vehicle legs for moderate or severe cracks.

9. If there are no issues, execute a low altitude (2 m) test flight in a clear open area

, to verify that the aerial vehicle can hold position and operate normally.

10. To check for camera d amage, use the manual camera controls to pitch the camera up and down.
