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 USA 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 download the latest version of FreeFlight 6 USA and that both your
•
Skycontroller USA and your ANAFI USA are up to date 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 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 drone's propellers are clean, intact, and unobstructed.
•
Ensure that both ANAFI USA's and Skycontroller USA's batteries are fully charged.

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.

•
stations, power plants, national reserves, etc.
Check the weather. Do not fly ANAFI USA in the fog, or in wind exceeding 14.7 m/s (32.8 MPH).
•
Due to the operating mode of its vertical camera and ultrasonic sensor, Parrot recommends
•
you do not fly ANAFI USA less than 10 m (30 ft) over water, or other reflective surfaces such as
mirrors, glass, etc.
ANAFI USA has been designed to assist first responders. It has no inbuilt no-fly zone limitations, it can
