| Pre-flight Preparation: Aidan Bowers (Deactivated) / Hardy Yu Ensure Incident Procedures, driver lists, etc. are completed Ensure all items in Week-Before and Day-Before checklist are complete
|
| Pre-Flight Systems Review: |
9:00am | Pre-Departure Preparation: |
10:45am | Flight brief from flight test lead Outline what is being tested, responsibilities of all participants, incident procedures, and general coordination.
|
11:30am | Loading onto the Car Take your water bottle with you. Go washroom before we leave! |
11:45pm | Drive to the test ground |
12:00-3:00pm | Flight Testing |
Test #1 | Quad mode takeoff/landing w/ flat mounts |
Test #2 | Quad mode YAW control w/flat mounts Test to see how much yaw control we have, which is basically the drone correctly responds to our left/right instruction Success if drone give correct respond and appropiate yaw throttle The test is first done without wings then with wings
|
Test #3 | Quad mode takeoff/landing w/angled mounts |
Test #4 | Quad mode yaw control w/angled mounts |
Test #5 | Buddy box control handover in all altitude both pilot have the control to the rc link After one pilot delivers the control, the other pilot should has the control of the drone
|
Test #6 | Battery VS Flight time measurement. Recharge batteries if needed Measure the amount of the time the batteries were used in the previous tests and come out with an estimation of batteries life we probably need to go back to bay in this process to recharge batteires for an hour since we don’t have spare ones🫠
|
Houston Test | While batteries are under charging, the group of ppl on wrest rc can conduct the test for Houston |
Test #7 | Transition & Fixed Wing Flight (brief, 1 circle) Trasition will take place in a straight line After the trasition is done, the drone should fly in fixed wing for one circle, the return to quad mode during this process, making sure the drone maintain altitude and flight forward while avoid other people TODO: the flight path needs to be determined
|
Test #8 | Transition & Fixed Wing Flight second pilot |
Test #9 | Fixed wing “waypoint” navigation Setup a destination on mission planner and run the drone in autopilot Wait is the fixed wing or quad? I suppose this should be quad. drone maintain altitude all the time TODO: the waypoint needs to be determined
|
Test #10 | Quad Mode RTL |
Test #11 | Fix wing in a whole circle |
Test #12 | Transition to fix wing then RTL Fly the drone away-> transition to fix wings-> RTL we expect the drone transition to quad and autoland but this is risky and we don’t know what’s gonna happen. Also the batteries may not support us to do this test, so this might move to 18th flight test

3:30pm | Debrief |
