Create ONE table per test-item. Eg: “Landing pad images over asphalt”, “landing pad images over grass”, “landing pad images over grass, high” should all be unique tables.

Use each expand to capture one series of tests, eg “Landing pad detection” or “Auto-tuning”.

title	Card 1: Houston Discovery Flight

Card 1, Test #1: Houston un-tuned parameter check
Prerequisite	Objective	Knock off Criteria
Initial Frame paramaters set on Houston	Familiarize pilots with system response of untuned drone.	Airframe unstable Battery < 10.1v overall, < 3.3v/cell Flight Time > 10 minutes
Procedure		Outcome
Switch into Attitude/Stabilize mode using FM1 button		Drone beep, Mission planner shows “STAB” or “Stabilize”
Takeoff in Attitude mode, control check in each direction. Full stick deflection on each axis Full stick deflection “rocking” on each axis		Watch for drone response, how “long” it takes to get to the setpoint.
Switch to Loiter mode, using FM3 button		Drone beep Mission planner shows “LOIT” or “Loiter” Drone holds position
Full stick deflection, same as (2)		Watch for drone response Watch for drone stability
Land		Don't crash

When autotune finished, disarm the drone while the autotune AUX is ON!!!

title	Card 2: Houston Autotune

Card 2, Test #1: Houston

AutoTune

Autotune, Pitch
Prerequisite	Objective	Knock off Criteria
Autotune research done.

rpi

Rpi,

camera removed aircraft ready

Camera removed.
Aircraft solid, screws tightened, etc.
ATUN_Axis set to pitch

get pilots/GSO familiar with the procedure of how to autotune

autotune done
or we crash
or we runout of battery

Procedure

Add AutoTune channel on Mission Planner

Takeoff in AltHold and fly to a comfortable altitude

Turn on autotune aux

Be mindful of altitude of the drone and don’t let the drone fly too far away as well

Autotune houston in pitch axis	autotune complete Airframe unstable Battery < 10.1v overall, < 3.3v/cell Flight Time > 10 minutes
Procedure		Outcome
Switch into Loiter using FM3 button on tx16.		Drone beep, Mission planner shows “LOIT” or “Loiter”
Takeoff in Loiter, fly to a safe distance and around 8-12 m altitude		Watch for drone stability, ensure systems OK.
Switch into Autotune by using FM5 button on TX16.		Drone beep Mission planner shows “ATUN” or “Autotune”
Wait for Autotune to complete		Pilot: Watch for drone stability and clear of objects. Do not touch sticks unless necessary GSO: Watch for autotune messages, make sure no failures. Enusre order of messages correct.
Autotune complete message received		Crosscheck atune complete
Switch into Loiter, fly back to a closer distance		This will revert to old tune. Ensure system OK, sensors OK
Switch into autotune, land, disarm		This will apply new tunes and then save them. We will do a 3-axis controls check once all autotune is complete.
