Preflight checks
Confirm that the aircraft and remote controller batteries are fully charged.
Confirm that both battery packs are loaded in the aircraft.
Use only genuine Sony parts or parts recommended by Sony, and confirm that all parts are free of damage and
defects.
Before loading battery packs, confirm that there is no moisture or foreign objects on battery pack terminals, terminals
in the aircraft battery slots, on battery pack surfaces, or in the battery slots.
Confirm that the propellers are free of damage and securely attached.
If the propeller attachment point does not move smoothly, the propeller may fall off during flight and pose a risk of
crash. Contact Sony Customer Support.
Calibrate the aircraft compass by following the instructions displayed in the “Airpeak Flight” App.
Before turning on the aircraft, confirm that there are no objects near the propellers that may come into contact with
them.
Confirm that the screws securing the damping plate to the aircraft are tight. Loose screws pose a risk of the gimbal
and camera in it falling off during flights. As a preflight check item, always confirm that the screws are securely
tightened.
Confirm that aircraft motors are free of problems and work correctly.
Confirm that the aircraft's stereo cameras, infrared range sensors, and FPV gimbal camera are free of dirt and
debris.
Confirm that there are no problems with gimbal operation.
Calibrate the compass, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and stereo cameras when prompted to do so in the “Airpeak
Flight” App.
Do not calibrate the compass in areas subject to strong magnetic interference, such as multi-storey parking facilities
or underground steel-reinforced structures.
Do not calibrate the aircraft's stereo cameras in a dark place or a place that is backlit by the sun or other light
sources.
Do not place ferromagnets near the product during calibration.
Confirm that the number of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites is six or more in the “Airpeak Flight”
App.
Make sure that you fully understand the flight mode that you have selected, as well as the safety functions and
warnings.
Make sure that the “Airpeak Flight” App is working properly to assist you in controlling the aircraft. Sony may not be
able to provide after-sales services or take responsibility under certain circumstances, such as when flight data
recorded by the “Airpeak Flight” App is not present or the aircraft is lost.
When you fly the aircraft with an external device loaded, check the following items before flight.
