Batteries Charged
• UAV battery packs (fully charged) • Laptop
• RC Transmitter • Powerbank for iBase
Firmwares Updated
QBase software Updated
Mission planning in QBase 3D Check

UAV ASSEMBLY
Set up the laptop and open QBase Check
Set up the QBase modem and connect it to the Laptop Check
Set up the ADS-B receiver Check
Set up the iBase • Stay away min. 5 meters Check
• Micro SD-card is inserted • Power bank is connected and powered
• Antenna center is exactly above the reference mark • iBase is recording (blue LED blinking)
• Not shaded by objects
Turn on the RC Transmitter Check
Check the UAV for damages (e.g. surfaces, propeller) Check
Magnetometer Calibration (If required) Calibrated
• Obligatory: flight location > 50 km away from the last flight location to location
• Calibration and take-off area is free of metal (parking decks, cars, metal structures) or
any devices causing electric or magnetic fields (power lines, generators, mobile phones)
All parts assembled and locked Check
Remove the payload transport lock Check
Battery pack is connected (UAV will start automatically) Check
Take-off position Check
• Take-off from the UAV transportation box.
• Optional: Cover the ground with a canvas cover. Fix it with weights.

TAKE-OFF
RC and QBase Modem connection Established
Camera detected Check
• Camera > Trigger: Triggers and exposures count up in QBase and on the RC
QBase final Check
Obstacle clearance in reality Check
• No obstacle within a radius of 20 m around Home Waypoint
• Re-/transition, descent circle, flight paths: altitude 20 m higher than obstacles
UAV heading Check
• Ensure the direction of the displayed UAV corresponds with the direction of the UAV on the ground
• Do not fly if the heading on the ground is not correct: critical deviation ≥ 10°
 Wind direction Check
• Re-/transition is set against the wind direction!
• Retransition with tailwind: per 1m/s tailwind ~ 20 meter deviation
• Windcheck in the immediate surrounding
• Do not take-off in a wind sheltered area (lee) as turbulances may occur

IMPORTANT MESSAGES
Aileron malfunction  Come Home is automatically initiated.  Wait for the UAV to Come Home.
 Do not fly again, contact your reseller.
Airspeed sensor No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.
malfunction  The UAV will return home and land automatically. The mission cannot be continued.
Battery critical No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.
 The UAV will return home and land automatically. The mission cannot be continued.
Battery low A warning 10 minutes before the UAV returns home due to battery capacity.  Please select Come Home.
Hover time No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.  The UAV will land automatically.
exceeded  The flight cannot be continued.
Elevator malfunction  Come Home is automatically initiated. In severe cases, an immediate retransition and landing is performed.
 Do not fly again, contact your reseller.
Link lost No manual input necessary.  Wait until link reconnects.  The UAV will perform the mission as planned in
the meantime or come back home and land automatically (depending on link-lost setting).
Motor temperature No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.  The UAV will land automatically.
too high  The flight cannot be continued.
Transition No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.
airspeed too low  The UAV will return home and land automatically.  The mission cannot be continued.
Wrong No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.  The UAV will automatically try to turn into the
direction transition cone to continue with the transition.  If this is not possible it will automatically return home and
land.
Wind speed No manual input necessary.  The mission is automatically continued.
Wind too strong No manual input necessary except for collision avoidance.
 The UAV will return home and land automatically.  The mission cannot be continued.
