Pilot Precautions

The operation of a UAS requires the pilot to ensure both the integrity of the system and the safety of people and infrastructure nearby. Piloting a UAS is a responsibility that demands the pilot be in full physical and mental faculties. To ensure safe and effective operations, follow these recommendations:

General Safety Guidelines

1. Avoid operating under the influence:

   • Alcohol or narcotics.

   • Fatigue or tiredness.

2. Protect yourself from the sun:

   • Wear sunglasses in strong sunlight scenarios.

   • Use long clothing that covers the extremities to prevent sunburn.

   • Apply sunscreen before starting the operation.

Operational Safety

1. Maintain a safe distance:

   • Keep at least 5 meters away from the drone during takeoffs and landings.

2. Respect operational limits:

   • Do not exceed legal altitude limits in your area of operation.

   • Avoid operations over populated or inhabited areas.

3. Disconnect the batteries:

   • After landing and stopping the engines, immediately disconnect the drone batteries before performing any other tasks close the system.

Regulatory Responsibilities

• The pilot is responsible for knowing and complying with all local regulations in the area of operation.

• Ensure continuous compliance with the rules throughout the operation.

⚠️

By adhering to these precautions, pilots can ensure safer operations, extend the life of the UAS, and comply with legal and ethical responsibilities.
