Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft PIC(s)

1. Pre-flight inspections of the Phantom 2 must be conducted to ensure there are no visible

damages or errors that would influence any unsafe flights.

2. Maintenance: The IMU advanced leveling calibration is done prior to all flights within the 

Phantom 2 Assistance Software. All elements of the UAS are inspected through the software to 

ensure all conditions and equipment elements are safe for flight.

3. Any and all necessary repairs are concluded to ensure that the UAS is in a condition for safe 

flight.

4. See the NAZA-M_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.26_en, PHANTOM2_User_Manual_v1.4_en, and all other 

attached documentation to see detailed safety pre-flight procedures that are implemented prior 

to ALL flights to ensure a safe flight.

PIC(s) who are directly responsible for the operation of the Phantom 2 UAS are required to have had 

vigorous training on smaller non-GPS model quad-copters prior to flying the Phantom 2 UAS. A training 

must be accumulated on other mini non-gps RC Flying platforms and any and all PIC(s) must 

demonstrate proficiency using the following aircrafts:

1. Hubsan h107d

2. Hubsan h107c

3. Cheerson cx-10

4. Estes Proto-x FPV

In addition PIC(s) were required a minimum of 10 hours using the Heli-x flight simulator with the 

Phantom 2 controller prior to being authorized to fly the Phantom 2 UAS.

PIC(s) authorized to fly the Phantom 2 with Beautiful Demon Photography are required to have a strong 

bill of health and not have suffered any prior stroke or heart attack.
Regarding the Operation of the Unmanned Aircraft

1. All attached manuals must be fully read and all pre-flight safety checks in place for ALL 

equipment on the Phantom 2.

2. A minimum of 2 visual observers are required for ALL flights to ensure maximum visual safety.

3. All PIC(s) MUST adhere to all FAA regulations that are in place during ALL flights

4. The PIC(s) Are required to operate under 400 feet, and clear of all surrounding obstacles.

5. All PIC(s) will NOT operate over any other people or property without written and signed consent

6. All PIC(s) Must remain well clear of and not interfere with manned aircraft operations

7. All PIC(s) Will NOT operate within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control 

tower before flying

8. All PIC(s) Will not operate near people or stadiums

9. All PIC(s) Will not fly any aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs

10. All PIC(s) Are required not to operate in a careless or reckless manner.

11. All PIC(s) Will NOT operate near any airports or government/FAA sanctioned no fly zones without 

required and or necessary consent.

12. The UAS must be operated within visual line-of-sight (VLOS) at all times. Visual observes will be 

in place ensuring that all PIC(s) abide by this and ALL sanctions above.

Regarding the Operation of the Unmanned Aircraft Continued

Characteristics of the area of intended operation: ALL of the intended uses of the Phantom 2 will be 

conducted away from people and obstacles to ensure maximum safety in the event of any potential 

aircraft malfunction:

1. Real estate and property footage

2. Weddings and or special events

3. Search and rescue

4. Land surveying

5. Roof surveying

If any intended operations to conduct operations which have existing requirements to notify Flight 

Standards District Offices (FSDOs) prior to operations – such as motion picture and television filming, or
