Hi Mr.S,
Do not calibrate the compass.
I would avoid flying close to the radar and antennae although they have never given me any issues.
Use dynamic HP.
Personally, I would net rely too heavily on autonomous flight, it can bring about complacency, on a boat you need to be on the ball.
Practice hand catching, things can change quickly on the sea and this skill may be called upon with little warning. On a moving vessel, a hand catch can be quicker, easier and safer.
Some will tell you to switch of VPS when flying over water, whether it is on or off, pay extra caution when low over open water, your bird may be holding its position to within a millimetre but a swell can rise up on the unwary within seconds especially when the aircraft is below you. Try to position yourself so the bird appears above the horizon.
And don't forget to post the results!
