Pre-flight checklist

Ensure that phone battery >= 50% and will be sufficient for the flight profile

Ensure that the DJI app is up to date

Ensure that battery is charged to the appropriate flight level (50% minimum required)

Ensure that the battery does not appear bloated and the contactor pins are free of debris or burning

Inspect props & prop attachment

Inspect frame and gimbal

Inspect IR sensors, assert that they are clear

Connect to the wifi network, ensure that the range is maximum
