Flight environment
Avoid obstacles such as large trees and power lines.
Do not fly over people or near large crowds of people, unless you have received a waiver or your aircraft has a
declaration of compliance to conduct such operations under applicable federal regulations.
Do not fly at altitudes higher than 122 m (400 feet) above ground level (AGL) or, if higher than 122 m (400 feet) AGL,
remain within 122 m (400 feet) of a structure.
Fly in favorable weather conditions between -10° C (14 °F) and 40° C (104 °F).
Do not fly in winds exceeding 20 m (66 feet)/s.
Do not fly in rain, snow, or heavy fog, or during weather visibility that is less than 4.8 km (3 miles) from a control
station.
Do not use the aircraft during a natural or human-caused disaster that may impact flight performance or distract the
remote pilot, such as a fire, explosion, flood, tidal wave, avalanche, landslide, earthquake, dust, sandstorm, or other
similar circumstances.
Fly outdoors. In buildings, the aircraft sensor system may be affected by interference, and accuracy of compass and
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) features may be impaired.
Do not fly low over water, ice, or snow surfaces. Flying too close to water, ice, or snow surfaces may cause a
malfunction to the aircraft sensor system.
The Vision Positioning may not work properly in the following environments or under the following conditions:
Areas where transparent objects such as water or glass are present, or where highly reflective objects such as
mirrors are present
When no objects that show clear surface patterns are present within an altitude of 20 m (66 feet) or more and a
circumference of 20 m (66 feet)
Areas where regular patterns are continuously present
Areas exposed to strong light or areas where there are objects that emit light
Areas where the illumination changes rapidly
Areas with illuminance equivalent to 100 lux or darker
When the stereo camera lenses are dirty or when the stereo camera view is obstructed
When the aircraft is flying low at a high speed or the aircraft is surrounded by objects at a short distance
When the obstacle is small
When the surroundings or obstacles are moving
When there are objects in the blind spots of the stereo cameras and other sensors
When the stereo cameras and other sensors are not calibrated properly
The lateral performance of the Vision Positioning is reduced when the landing gear is up.
The flight assistance provided by the Vision Positioning and other sensors only supports the operator and does not
guarantee the perfect safety of the flight. Always be cautious when flying the aircraft.
Note the following precautions during takeoff and landing and during flights:
Keep people other than the flight operators away from the aircraft. Unexpected events such as gusts against the
aircraft may cause injury.
Take off and land on flat ground.
