Pre-flight Preparation

Emergency Response

   1. Verbally announce “Guest” to your sUAS Aircrew
   2. Designated interceptor meets with the non-participant and triages the situation
2. Secondary Actions
   1. sUAS PIC acquires VLOS on the sUAS
   2. sUAS is placed in stable hover or loiter
   3. Can the sUAS Technician resolve the interference and return to crew duties?
      1. Yes - Continue the flight
      2. No - Abort the flight and safely land the sUAS.
