• Some jurisdictions also have other rules that may affect your operation of UAVs,
such as laws relating to receipt of wireless signals, aerial photography, aerial
surveying, privacy, and trespass. You must know and follow all laws and regulations
applicable to your operation.
• In some jurisdictions, the operator may be required to have a pilot certification
from the aviation authority or advance approval from the aviation authority or air
traffic control. Check your local laws before operating the UAS. You are always
responsible for operating the UAS safely and responsibility, and in compliance with
all laws.
• Professional drone operators must comply with all applicable insurance and
aviation-specific liability requirements.
• UAS and safety check, pre-flight check and post-flight check according to the
following sections before every operation, is compulsory before and after every
flight.
• Rotating propellers are capable of causing serious personal injury and property
damage. Keep a safe distance and/or wear appropriate safety equipment (safety
goggles, gloves).
• Our UAVs, like all comparable aircrafts, can in rare cases suffer electrical,
mechanical and/or other failures. This may lead to a partial or complete loss of
flying capability. Therefore the pilot is responsible for conducting all flights at a safe
distance from people, moving vehicles etc. such that in the event of loss of flight
control, will result in no personal injury.
• Operating the UAV close to power lines, power transformers or other areas with
high electromagnetic disturbances, or in urban canyons, can have severe effects on
the GPS stability and/or the magnetic field sensor, which ultimately also effects GPS
stability. The Intel Falcon 8+ UAV is designed to compensate these errors in most
cases, but the function is not guaranteed in any scenario. Therefore a pilot must
have the training and ability to fly the UAV in Height-Mode in any situation. Only
operate in these environment with sufficient training!
• Risk of fire or explosion. Do not operate the UAS in potentially explosive
environments such as fueling stations, fueling areas, fuel or chemical storage
facilities, or areas where the air may contain chemical or dust particles such as
grain particles or metal powders. If possible and if you can do so safely, physically
remove this product from any such environment. Do not connect any accessory
cables or press any of the product's buttons until outside of these environments.
• GPS-Mode will limit your maximum speed. Flying the UAV at wind speeds above 12
m/s is not recommended. Please note that wind conditions on the ground and in
the air can differ.
• Do not fly the UAV at temperatures below -5 °C or above 40 °C (23° F to 104° F).
• The UAS and payloads are not waterproof. Do not operate the UAS in adverse
weather (sand storm, rain, fog, snow, etc.) or at night.
• Only operate the UAV on clear days during daylight hours. The UAV only has LED
position lights but no anti-collision light.
• The UAV is not equipped with a sense-and-avoid system. The operator is
responsible for seeing and avoiding all other traffic, persons, structures, and
obstacles.
