Pre-flight checklist

Transport & handling
•
Always transport ANAFI USA in its hard case, safely positioned, with the gimbal's protection
cover on.
•
Always transport the Skycontroller safely in the relevant location in the hard case.
•
Protect the battery from temperature extremes, both low and high. Try to keep the battery as
close as possible to ambient temperatures.
•
Always handle the ANAFI USA with care. Do not apply pressure to the drone and generally
avoid touching the sensitive camera and gimbal.
•
Always keep the hard case with the drone and battery in dry places.

Equipment

•
Ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of FreeFlight 6 USA, and that both your
Skycontroller and your ANAFI USA have been updated with the latest versions of firmware.
Important: Updates are mandatory and must be performed systematically prior to any flight to ensure
maximum performance and safety.
•
Ensure that you have the correct USB cable to connect your Skycontroller and your device.
•
Ensure that you insert a microSD card with enough free memory space into the drone.
•
Ensure that you unfold all four foldable arms of the drone.
•
Ensure that the propellers are clean, intact, and unobstructed.
•
Ensure that both ANAFI USA's and Skycontroller's batteries are fully charged.
• Ensure that you always use genuine Parrot smart batteries. Non-genuine batteries are
forbidden, and their use will void the warranty and impact safety requirements.
•
Ensure that the drone's battery is securely installed on the drone's body.
•
Ensure that the drone's gimbal protective cover is removed.
•
Ensure that the drone's lenses are clean. If the lenses require cleaning, clean them before you
press Power on the drone. Hold the gimbal between two fingers so that you do not apply
pressure to the mechanism. Gently wipe the lenses with a microfiber cloth.

Regulations

•
Ensure that drone use is permitted where you intend to fly.
•
Check for potential restrictions regarding the use of Wi-Fi frequencies in the area where you
intend to fly.

Flight conditions

•
Verify that the flying zone is safe and clear.
•
Do not fly ANAFI USA over urban areas, or over restricted airspaces such as airports, train
stations, power plants, national reserves, etc.
•
Check the weather. Do not fly ANAFI USA in the fog, or in wind exceeding 15 m/s (33 mph).
•
Due to the operating mode of its vertical camera and ultrasonic sensor, Parrot recommends
you do not fly ANAFI USA over water, or other reflective surfaces, such as mirrors, glass, etc.
ANAFI USA has been designed to assist first responders and has no inbuilt no-fly zone limitations and
can fly in the rain.
Warning: You must not use ANAFI USA at night unless special authorization has been granted. Always
deploy ANAFI USA responsibly.
