Pre-flight checklist

Co-pilots are legally mandatory

They must ensure the pilot and drone maintain Line of sight (LOS) so that there a clear signal

Ensure nobody interferes with the pilot!

Pilots + Copilots

1) Drone is set to the correct video channel

2) Goggles are set to the correct video channel

3) Switches are in the correct position (stabilized or acrobatic modes)

4) Throttle is at zero

5) Check your video + OSD (correct channel, power, battery voltage)

6) Arm + Disarm when co-pilot signals

Co-pilots 

1) At the start line, with the drone

2) PLUG IN the drone, and place it level on the ground (co-pilots)

6) Arming signal / thumbs up

Controller Switches

Only when you can master acrobatic mode in the simulator

will you be able to fly acrobatic mode in real life

In racing, pilots are stressed and nervous.

So they help them stay calm by:

1) Battery management (charging + plugging in)

2) Perform arming check

3) Make sure the pilot is flying through the course correctly

4) Inform the pilot on their position + battery voltage (if its low) + lap number + landing reminder

5) Help the pilot retrieve the drone

Land before you damage the battery!
