Given QR code specifying the route & waypoints
- Route will be 10-30km long
- Aircraft must stay within 50m of the designated route
- An area bounded by way points will be identified during the flight to be avoided.
Minimum of 2 passengers must be carried, additional points for additional passengers (max 6)
- Aircraft cannot be moved while loading passengers, and the cabin must be enclosed
- There should be a loading ramp or some entrance mechanism
- passengers should be restrained
An arm / flight readiness button must be used to activate the flight mode
Landing Pads are 32in. Blue pads are operational, orange are not. There may be obstacles.
Additional points for autonomy

Landing pads may have obstructions within 2m or a weight restriction of 5kg
QR code with list of transport routes (# passengers, way points, max weight, pad conditions, etc.)
- Will be received 05 May 2023 @ 3:00pm
- Flight plan (with route orders) due within 60 minutes @ 4:00pm
- Flight Plan must include at least 50% of provided routes
- Use of automated algorithms will earn additional points
If a route requires moving more passengers than can be carried, multiple flights must be completed
Most landing pads will be BVLOS
A landing only counts if the aircraft is fully on the pad and rotors are off for 15 seconds
Batteries may be swapped at launch point if there are no passengers
