• Apart from the camera operator, the spotter, or the inspector, no one should talk to the pilot, as this may reduce concentration.
• When the propellers are spinning, the aircraft must not be touched. If not applicable, make sure the aircraft is stable, touch only the aircraft’s protective cage with your hands wide open and your fingers straight to prevent any of them from entering the cage. You must wear protective gloves to touch the aircraft if the propellers are spinning.
• Avoid any presence of people directly below the aircraft and do not fly close to people.
• Possibly hazardous optical radiation may be emitted from this product. Do not look at LEDs while they are in operation as this may result in eye injury.
• In case of an accident, do not try to catch the falling aircraft. Your safety is more important than the aircraft.
• The area around the pilot, in addition to the takeoff and landing area, should all be free from people and obstacles.

General Guidelines

• The pilot MUST be a Flyability Certified ELIOS 2 Pilot and, if required by laws, hold the required drone pilot licenses or any other certification necessary to pilot ELIOS 2.

• A damaged propeller may break, and pieces of the broken blade can become dangerous projectiles and reduce the aircraft’s reliability. Replace the propeller if it is broken,  cracked, bent, or damaged in any way. Operators and surrounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.

• Debris can be ejected at high velocity from the aircraft propulsion. Operator and surrounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.

• The pilot should always act according to his or her best judgment, focusing on the safety of the people and the environment he or she is flying in. The pilot MUST brief every personnel attending or surrounding the flight about safety. While piloting, the pilot should not move as it may cause him to slip, trip or fall causing personal injuries.

• DO NOT fly over or near people or moving vehicles. Always give way to other aircraft. Watch out for low flying helicopters.

• Operating the ELIOS 2 system can be stressful, tiring and lead to muscular fatigue. The controller is equipped with a hook. Use the provided controller strap to relieve your muscles. Doing so will also help you avoid dropping or damaging the ground control station.

• During a flight, parts of the aircraft can become very hot. Wait 3  minutes after disarming for the drone to cool down and access the battery. If time is a constraint, you may use protective gloves to charge the battery during the cooling period.  Using the LED pulsing light on ELIOS 2 can be tiring and stressful for the pilot and surrounding personnel. It can also trigger a  seizure in a person with epilepsy.

• The front module contains magnets that can disrupt the proper functioning of medical devices  or disturb certain electronic devices in  the immediate
  area.

• DO NOT use ELIOS 2 under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any substances that may impair cognitive abilities.

• A risk assessment MUST be performed before every flight.

• The pilot MUST always go through the checklists before, during and after each flight.

• ELIOS 2, like any remotely piloted aircraft system, must be operated per the laws of the country it is used in. It is the sole responsibility of the pilot to be informed of the applicable restrictions. If you are flying in a public environment or around people, make sure to respect the rules of flight in line of sight.

• Use only provided Flyability parts, genuine Flyability parts, or parts certified by Flyability. Using other devices or parts in combination with ELIOS 2 (e.g., batteries, propellers, etc.) or performing unauthorized modifications may result in the system malfunctioning and/or compromise safety.

• It is strongly recommended to avoid any operation inside the aircraft’s cage when the battery is plugged in, except turning off the aircraft (unplugging the battery).

• DO NOT wear jewelry, loose clothing or long hair when operating ELIOS 2 or being in its vicinity.

• Under no circumstances should objects, fingers or any other body parts enter the aircraft’s protective cage while the drone is armed (i.e., when the propellers are spinning). It may result in severe injuries for the person and damage the aircraft.

• DO NOT perform the arming sequence or arm the aircraft (i.e., make the propellers spin) before and during the removal or insertion of the battery or if objects, fingers or any other body parts are inside the protective cage.

• When the propellers are spinning, the aircraft must not be touched. If not applicable, make sure the aircraft is stable, touch only the aircraft’s protective cage with your hands wide open and your fingers straight to prevent any of them from entering the cage. You must wear protective gloves to touch the aircraft if the propellers are spinning.

• Propellers have sharp edges; protective gloves MUST be worn while changing a propeller.

• If the aircraft is unresponsive due to malfunction, perform the disarming sequence and DO NOT try to insert your hand or fingers into the cage until 1 hour after the incident. Wear protective gloves to disconnect the battery.

• After a strong crash (i.e. more than 1m free fall), do not touch the aircraft as it may explode or catch fire. If the aircraft is in an enclosed place, or near to an explosive or flammable environment, you may carefully place it in a properly ventilated area. The aircraft must remain under supervision. A risk assessment should be performed prior to taking any actions.

• It is recommended to use only transport cases approved by Flyability.

• Read carefully the Battery Safety Guidelines and the Quick Start Guide before using the ELIOS 2 system.

• After a flight, wait 3 minutes before touching the parts highlighted on the drawing below:
  a. Motors
  b. Lighting system heatsink
  

Environmental Awareness

Always fly within the listed conditions. It will reduce incident and damage to the aircraft.

• Do not fly close to people.
• ELIOS 2 is not waterproof. Do not fly under heavy rain/snow or in humid environments. Moisture can seriously damage the electronics of ELIOS 2. Store the ELIOS 2 system in a dry environment between 0°C and 30°C protected from sunlight.
• Avoid flying in dusty or sandy environments or environments subject to vapor or gas. If not applicable, avoid flying close to people. Have yourself and your surrounding personnel wear eye protection and respiratory protection as the propulsion system may blow dust, vapor or gas towards you or other personnel. Do not forget this topic in your risk assessment. Note that mechanical parts may deteriorate more rapidly in dusty or sandy environments.
• Even if the cage protects the aircraft, small objects can penetrate the cage and damage the aircraft. Be sure while flying that protruding objects and/or any falling objects do not go through the cage as they might break the propellers, damage the aircraft, or create highvelocity projectiles. In case of doubt, performing a risk assessment is recommended and eye protection MUST be worn.
• Flying in low-density atmospheres (such as at high altitudes above sea level) might reduce flight time and the stability of the aircraft.
• The wind has severe effects on ELIOS 2. If the wind is higher than 3m/s, it should be piloted in Sport mode. In this mode and/or with the wind higher than 3m/s, Flyability cannot guarantee ELIOS 2’s ability to sustain a collision. With the wind above 5m/s, Flyability cannot guarantee the stability or flying capability of ELIOS 2.
• Very cold temperatures lead to reduced flight times. Do not fly in temperatures below 0°C. If you need to fly within a temperature below 10°C, heat the batteries prior to use with a battery warmer bag and observe safe practices as described in the Battery Safety Guidelines.
• Hot temperatures – above 40°C – will interfere with the battery performances. The pilot should observe the safe practices regarding the battery described in the Battery Safety Guidelines. Also, Flyability cannot guarantee the collision sustainability of the aircraft above 40°C. The Pilot assist performance may diminish. The maximum power of the lighting system will reduce for the system safety. The aircraft should not be left switched on without propellers spinning in temperature above 40°C, the electronics need to be cooled down by the airflow generated by the propulsion system. In such temperatures, use gloves for changing the battery or wait for at least 10 minutes for the drone to cool down in a zone where the temperature is below 30°C. Pay extra attention to not touch the lighting system heatsinks or the motors during the cooldown period.
• Flyability cannot guarantee the aircraft flight capability and stability if not used in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C.
• It is not recommended to operate the aircraft close to power lines, power transformers or other areas with high electromagnetic disturbances as these may cause severe effects on the sensors and transmission system, impacting the aircraft’s stability and flying capability.
• The aircraft propulsion system makes loud noises. Wearing ear protection is mandatory when flying in enclosed areas or when the aircraft is operating close to personnel.
• If you are flying in a confined or enclosed place, avoid being inside this environment with the aircraft flying. Do not forget this topic in your risk assessment.
• Avoid flying in a biohazard environment. If not applicable, avoid flying close to people and have yourself and surrounding personnel wear eye protection and respiratory protection as the propulsion system may blow contaminated particles to you. Also, wear gloves and appropriate protection while manipulating the aircraft and its equipment until further decontamination. Do not forget this topic in your risk assessment.
• ELIOS 2 should not be used in or near explosive or flammable environments.
