What factors must be considered when ensuring the UA has enough propulsion energy for the intended operation?

The remote pilot should ensure that the UA has enough propulsion energy based on the planned operation and the need for extra energy in case of unpredictable events.

Who is responsible for these pre-flight checks in the case of an autonomous operation?

In the case of an autonomous operation, the operator is responsible for these checks.

What is the overall condition that the UAS must be in before the intended flight?

The UAS must be in a safe condition to complete the intended flight.

AMC1 UAS.SPEC.060(2)(c) Responsibilities of the remote pilot

Q: What should the remote pilot do regarding the geo-awareness function before a flight?

The remote pilot should update the UAS with data for the geo-awareness function if one is available on the UA.

Q: What are the responsibilities of the remote pilot regarding the UAS's condition before flight?

The remote pilot should ensure that the UAS is fit to fly and complies with the instructions and limitations provided by the manufacturer.

Q: How should payloads be handled before flight according to AMC1 UAS.SPEC.060(2)(c)?

The remote pilot should ensure that any payload carried is properly secured and installed, respecting the limits for the mass and CG of the UA.

Q: What must be ensured for a UAS equipped with a loss-of-data-link recovery function?

The remote pilot should ensure that the recovery function allows a safe recovery of the UAS for the envisaged operation.

Q: What may the remote pilot need to do for programmable loss-of-data-link recovery functions?

The remote pilot may have to set up the parameters of this function to adapt it to the envisaged operation.

AMC1 UAS.SPEC.060(2)(c) Responsibilities of the remote pilot

ED Decision 2019/021/R

THE UAS IS IN A SAFE CONDITION TO COMPLETE THE INTENDED FLIGHT

The remote pilot, or the operator in the case of an autonomous operation, should:

(a) update the UAS with data for the geo-awareness function if one is available on the UA;

(b) ensure that the UAS is fit to fly and complies with the instructions and limitations provided by the manufacturer;

(c) ensure that any payload carried is properly secured and installed, respecting the limits for the mass and CG of the UA;

(d) ensure that the UA has enough propulsion energy for the intended operation based on:

(i) the planned operation; and

(ii) the need for extra energy in case of unpredictable events; and

(e) for a UAS equipped with a loss-of-data-link recovery function, ensure that the recovery function allows a safe recovery of the UAS for the envisaged operation; for programmable loss-of-data-link recovery functions, the remote pilot may have to set up the parameters of this function to adapt it to the envisaged operation.
