Munual Flight Procedures

Manual Flight Procedures You will be asked by your flight reviewer to perform a few flight maneuver and demonstrate that you can confidently fly/control the altitude and direction of the RPA. You will be asked to visually determine the altitude and distance of the RPA from you during flight as well as confirm the battery level available to complete the flight safely. You should maintain a stable airspeed, cruising altitude, and heading as well as: navigate by applying systematic navigation techniques orient the RPAS to the direction provided by the flight reviewer navigate around obstacles or fixed points determine the position of the aircraft with respect to distance and altitude from the candidate You should apply an organized method that would: verify the position of the aircraft revise headings to correct any existing track errors to maintain the aircraft's position due to wind confirm or revise the battery power available at the destination landing point with a degree of accuracy that would make arrival assured confirm current fuel/power levels are adequate for safe flight you will be asked to manually fly a series of maneuvers and exercises in order to test your ability to fly in a controlled manner, your flight reviewer will describe these flight exercises to you before taking-off. There will also be a variety of possible exercises including, but not limited to the ones described in the following slides

During your review you will have to fly in a clockwise direction around the red cones (like on the map) You will have to know the altitude/distance and position of your RPA during flight without looking at your monitor. Correctly respond to any errors during flight due to winds and confirm battery levels during flight are enough to safely complete the flight,

Learn how confidently fly in Manual modes: ATTI (in case you need to take manual control of the RPA) Learn to fly the aircraft in all orientations, your reviewer will ask you to create the number 8 around the cones. Know your direction orientation (the aircraft is flying heading South/East)
