Hello everyone,
In the upcoming week I'll be doing some contract photo work for a cruise line.
After months of planning and hours of form filling, the FAA process and much more, I've been granted access to fly my drone from the ship while it's at a standstill in Hubbard Glacier. The Cruise line wanted to me to fly while the ship was moving a slow pace of 5knots but I don't feel very comfortable with that. However, I was informed that the ship will come to a complete stop for about 40 minutes. During this 40 minute stand still, I plan to fly if the conditions are right. They will be blocking off the sports court for the duration of my flight giving me more than enough room to take off and land. Aside from the obvious, Before the flight I plan to:
· Calibrate IMU on land the day prior. · Set my home point to Dynamic so that my RC is the return-to-home point. · Return back to the ship at 40% battery What else would you all recommended for preflight and also during flight? I've read about turning off VPS, but I don't plan to fly under 65' so I don't think its necessary. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and thanks in advanced for your help. Best Regards, Jason |
