Page 7: System Capabilities
The AG-110 contains an array of features to both enhance safety and assure its ability to effectively conduct the mission. Among these features are: Ground Control Software System - Hylio Inc. and all AG-110 owners use a UAS ground control software system known as Hylio AgroSol. Hylio Inc. developed AgroSol for the express purpose of controlling Hylio Inc. - Page 8 Safety parameters - Max altitude, distance from home, horizontal speed and vertical speed defaults are set by Hylio Inc., and the customer can set these as well based on location and operating restrictions. The AG-110 uses multiple sensor types to ensure maximum altitude is respected in the event of primary altimeter sensor failure.
- Page 9 Operational Analysis - The AG110 flight controller firmware automatically logs flight hours on the UAS. These flight hours are tracked and displayed in AgroSol. This automatic flight hour tracking is used to ensure strict adherence to maintenance procedures. ©2020 Hylio Inc. All Rights Reserved...

Page 10: Lost Link Failsafe
Drone has ever experienced a Fly-Away event. Prevention Measures Hylio UAS are assembled in the USA of the highest quality components from across the world, and go through an intensive QA process before delivery. All Hylio missions are geo-fenced and saved internally on the UAS, to ensure there is no possibility of a Fly-Away in the event of a communications hardware failure. -
Page 11: Obstacle Avoidance
The PIC must understand that without enabling obstacle avoidance, the drone may collide with any obstacle in the mission area. The mission area must be THOROUGHLY surveyed for potential obstacles before proceeding with avoidance disabled. ©2020 Hylio Inc. All Rights Reserved... -

5. Go to maintenance tab and click “Calibration > Voltage”. 6. Type in the measured voltage sum and press OK. 7. Check the AgroSol voltage readout matches the measured voltage sum. 8. Repeat if the voltages do not match. ©2020 Hylio Inc. All Rights Reserved... -
Page 16: Uas Spraying Tips
Select a nozzle based on your desired particle size, flowrate, and spray profile. The TeeJet nozzles listed are commonly used by Hylio pilots around the world, and have proven to fit well with the AgroDrone’s nominal pump pressures and flight speeds. - Page 17 You can decrease altitude and increase speed as you observe the drone’s response to terrain variations. Fly along hillsides whenever possible as opposed to up and down hillsides. This is much more efficient and keeps the drone from constantly climbing up and down hills. ©2020 Hylio Inc.

Page 19: Manual Flight & Rc Takeover
Once you have manually taken over, the mission cannot be resumed. You must proceed land and reupload a mission. At any time during manual control, AgroSol can be used to take back over and command a PAUSE, RTL, or LAND using the telemetry link. ©2020 Hylio Inc. All Rights Reserved... -
Page 20: Safety Guidelines
Drop boundary-flags every 25 ft when marking along a curved field edge. Always mark ALL obstacles within a field. Do not rely on obstacle avoidance. Always mark field edges when spraying a field with many trees, power lines, or other obstacles near the field edge. ©2020 Hylio Inc. All Rights Reserved... -
