Hi,
Your list can have many more points! so many things to say learn to new remote pilots.
a) RTFM
b) understand TFM 100%
c) fly the first x many hours only in free airspace and learn all about the various RTH options
d) try to reset HP in flight, understand it all....
e) understand how the landing protection works, plus understand that this option cannot be switced off....
f) don`t fly under bridges
g) don`t fly under trees etc with low battery! (or be very alert to stop the automatic RTH climb....)
h) don`t fly too low over streaming water...
i) many more...
1) fly carefully in an open space
flying carefully is always a good point, can be done in non-open space as well
2) never take off till you have many sats locked and wait for the safe to take off notice
indeed wait for sats locked and HP set, "take off permitted" can be seen with to little satellites and no HP set though
3) unless in an emergency situation always fly your drone back don't use RTH
If you know the area well, and no objects between drone and HP ; imo no objections to use RTH
4) if you do use RTH stop it when you see the drone and land it yourself
Drone visual in RTH means that you can see if there are any obstacles in the fly path to HP or not.If not, no reason to stop the RTH ; one time fly manually back, other time use RTH + autolanding all the way.
5) don't trust the avoidance sensors. They are good but not full proof
True
6) don't push your battery below 20%
True, but if your fly close to HP in free area no reason to land at or before reaching 20%, for fly safety reasons that is.
Just for tricky flights (over water, windy, landing on ships), be close to landing spot at 40-30%. mayby the remaning flight time is needed to get it landed.
7) Don't use auto takeoff use the sticks and take off yourself
Why not ? if area above is free, no reason not to do so.
if there will be "Compass Yaw errors" than they will occur after manual input...
8) use your common sense if you have any
Remote pilots do have common sense, i hope so....but reading the mishaps in this forum...not for just few (new ) remote pilots.
cheers
