Photo Acquisition Methods

Preparing for UAS Capture • Licensing Requirements • Checking Waivers and Airspace Restrictions • Choosing a Drone and Camera • Drone Logbook and Checklists

Example Logs Preflight Checklist Visual check of airframe (including landing gear) Motors Free Battery Secure No Loose Leads All Antennas Secure Propellers – No Damage and Secure Control Transmission – Check Antenna If needed, ground station powered and online Control Transmission on, Voltage Sufficient, Correct Model Selected Transmission switch – Positions set, Throttle closed Battery Voltage sufficient Power up UAS (remain clear of blades) Monitor UAS for indications of flight readiness (Satellite lock, etc. ) Record time Lift off, Check Controls, Fly away Post. Flight Checklist Observe normal motor rundown Record time Check if Motor and Speed-controller temperature are normal Battery temperature normal Power down UAS Control Transmission off Visual check of airframe (including landing gear) Motors Free Battery Secure No Loose Leads All Antennas Secure Propellers – No Damage and Secure
