UAS Beyond Visual Line Of Sigh Operation Practice

 -UAS BVLOS- 

In this lab, my team and I conducted basic operations beyond visual line-of-sight flight.

This experiment is divided into 3X3X3 steps, that is, the cooperation between each pilot in command and the visual observer. The three crew members will each perform a test flight as a pilot. In each flight, the pilot in command must follow the visual observer's command to complete the observation of the three groups of targets, flying at three different altitudes and directions.

Pictures have been taken of three flights of myself, listed in the following:

15 Feet Alt (1st flight)

 5 Feet Alt Forward (2nd flight)

5 Feet Alt Backward (3rd flight)

This chart shows my three flights as the pilot in command and the elapsed time for three target calibrations.

Through the analysis of the time chart, the biggest difficulty in this lab is that the pilot in command cooperates with the visual observer's instructions when the low altitude & direction is opposite or confused. The negative outcome is not a serious issue, this will need to be dealt with by the crew resource/fleet management in order to have the right time or battery resources for conducting mission flights.
