Warning

Issue need to be RCA

  •  Gemini not working (performance worse than without gemini) → fully lost link

    • Link quality got worst after first lap

    • possible thermal issue

    • flew lost link 750 meter

    • previously tested with the same gemini board with smaller antenna with 3km

    • gemini is not hot at all

    • look at power used(power limit)

 

Card 1 Test 1 retry 1

Info

Flight planning

  • conduct half task 1 goal (1.5 lap)

Card 3 2 Test 1

Info

Flight planning

  • Test the auto mission task 2 pathing and training pilot for landing

...

Panel
bgColor#E3FCEF

Control performance & payload situation

  • Four payload in the cabin

  • GSO and pilot get familiar with callout (Better callout procedure for less than 1 meter → with range finder) practice next week

Note

Identified issue

  • Need to document the process for uploading the mission during flight test

  • Video quality become bad when antenna not point at drone(comp → manually turn it)

  • Pilot navigation pattern (desend and find the pad)

  • Upload the mission will kill the tracking antenna → soln? hardcoded

  • Disarmed 6 inches above the ground reason hard to land exact

  • Gps to non-gps transition test!!!

  • SD card was installed in FPV goggles but automatic recording did not start

Card 3 Test 2

Info

Flight planning

  • More pilot training

Flight test card requirements/objectives Performance

  • pilot familiar landing in loiter

Panel
bgColor#E3FCEF

Control performance & payload situation

  • Four payload in the cabin → complete mission objective

  • GSO and pilot get familiar with callout

Note

Identified issue

  • 1 min landing window → need timing callout

  • Broke the 3d printed leg joint during landing

    • Descending faster

  • SD card was installed in FPV goggles but automatic recording did not startcannot really callout the height sub 1 meter

  • easy to land on the paved ground

  • all the landing are smooth and within timeframe

  • descent first

Note

Identified issue

  • Daniel Puratich callout at last waypoint based on height not ardupilot

  • Full path does not show outside of planning window

Overall performance and Lessons learned

...

  • confident in flight characteristics of the drone and electrical robsutness

    • spline waypoints looked good during flight but looks poor on mission plannre

  • low confidence in custom rf links and tracking antenna

    • not using tracking antenna for comp → cc Daniel Puratich to bringup at AEAC

    • Gemini board was low link quality

      • try another gemini board and see if it works

  • Nathan Green apply new mag fit data based on today’s data

Check weather before comp.

Flightline tasks:
bring vtx tower, drone(path uploaded, battery in , shourds on), controller and the monitor

Before takeoff

Daniel Puratich conduct the pre takeoff checklist

manually toggle safety switch

confirm take off flight mode
