    titleContingency Plans

    If things go poorly, flight test director should command (this is stated to avoid bystander effect):

    • Fire

      • Call 911

      • give location

    • Property Damage

      • if in e7, email Graeme

      • if at WRESTRC, email them

    • Fly away

      • call TC

    • Injury

      • first aid

      • call 911

    • houston cold battery endurance time: 8 min

    • temp today: 3 degree outside

    Expand
    titleWhat Went Well?

    • good logsitic solid plan

    • Houston still in one piece

    • Battery got charged and discharged

    Expand
    titleWhat was less than ideal but turned out okay?

    • we figured out the cold battery is not enough to complete auto tune even with one axis

    • pegasus is not ready in advance

      • sensor not plugged in

      • not knowing how to set up LTE

    • Takeoff in stabilize once and pilot wasn’t aware

      • that leads to a crush- didn’t break anything tho

    • Houston battery performance were greatly affected by cold temperature

    Expand
    titleWhat major issues occurred?

    • We lost the flight logs by accident

    • Pegasus bullet connector fails

      • the insulation of the wire got rip off

    All of these major issues should be addressed via Root Cause Analysis Forms:

    Daniel Puratich Directing this section of flight test post mortem!

    •  Nathan LTE lesson - teach more ppl how to set it up
    •  consider battery heater
    •  Fixing pegasus motor bullet connectors
    •  reconsideration of wiring inside arm, it is ripping the insultaion
    •  Daniel Puratich will make an example of good bullet connector
    •  Daniel already emailed about the golden ring spacer for pegasus prop
    •  labelling the rangfinder and ofs connector
