Overview
This is supplemental information to the specific flight checklists for each drone.
Existing Obstacles:
- Cranes over construction
- WOSU tower and guidewires
- 315 corridor
- Radio tower near target and 315
- Airspace restrictions
Pre- flight objectives:
- Measure the heights of the existing obstacles. If needed, learn how to get a waiver for increased flight height for this project.
- Create all flight plans at once to ensure optimal coverage is reached per flight.
- Fly all flights within a few working days. Maximizing the flight time near solar noon.
- Ensure there will not be re-flights because of overlapping collection requests.
- Minimize number of times a base station is moved in planning.
- Plan to fly the most challenging flights first (flights with outlined obstacles above).
- The first flight in a few months should always be a routine refresher. This point assumes pilot flight currency.
