Hazard Precaution Hazard Precaution Hazard Precaution

Ground Collision Scout Flight Path and note all

obstacles in flight zone. Loss of Navigation Lights Verify Battery voltage and

connections

. Electric Motor Overheating Monitor Temperature with temp gun

.

Mid

- air Collision Add Spotter (s) as needed for location s

with air or ground traffic. Emergency/Forced Landing Confirm approach path relative

to wind direction. Alternate LZ’s. ESC Overheating/Overload Monitor Temperature /check motor

leads for melting.

Structure Collision /Power

Lines Position VO at optimum viewing

location. Review signals. High Solar Activity/Loss of GPS Review solar forecast 30 minutes

before launch Flight/Landing Path Error Rehearse flight path and VO

c ommunications

. Low Flight Battery Set Flight Timer and announce “Time”

. Land at 25% remaining capacity. Unexpected weather Review weather forecast 30

minutes before launch Rotor Overspeed Confirm gover nor is functioning

properly.

Low Transmitter Battery Verify voltage before and after each

flight. Loss of VO communication Land and restore comms Incorrect Model Program

Selected Double check model selection and

frequency.

Fatal System Failure Assure no personnel are under UAS

during flight operations. LiPo Battery Fire Do not charge unattended. Do

not use swollen, damaged packs Unexpected Wind Gusts Monitor wihdspeed and direction

and cease operations as needed.

Lost Link Perform range check with all systems

on with motor lead disconnected. Miscommunication Review flight signals. Collision with cast/crew Communicate and maintain safe

assured distance at all times.

Blinded by Sun Reconfigure flight path as needed. Use

shading if available. Depth Perception Error Follow instr uctions from VO and

camera operator. Precipitation shorting out

electronics Avoid flying in rain/mist/snow/sleet.

Fly Away Verify setting of GPS failsafe/manual

override/Blimp dump valve Pilot Fatigue/Pilot Error Schedule adequate rest period

before flight operations. Bird Strike Land if VO or PIC sight birds

aggressively approach UAS

Fall /Slip/Trip Hazards Scan Area and remove hazards.

Preplan/rehearse all movements. Disorie ntation/Poor Lighting Use Navigation lights. Drive Train Failure Land immediately if unusual sounds

or abnormal UAS response is noted.

Fire Hazard Have fire extinguisher on stand

- by. Dust Blown Into Eyes Wear eye protection when winds

are forecast

Landing Zone Breech VO to monitor exclusion zone. PIC to

land if breeched. Foreign Object in Eye Land and don eye protection.

Landing Zone Breech VO to monitor and secure landing

zone. Check before landing. Falling Hazard Wear safety harness.

Control Binding/Direction

reversal/Malfunction Perform control functional check

including gyro. Heat Stress Stay hydrated, take frequent

breaks.
