Lesson 1Recording and reporting incidents: logs, insurance notification, and client communicationHere you go learn to note incidents and close calls, keep true flight and fix logs, tell insurers when need, and talk clear with clients while guarding legal rights and bettering safety over time.
What incidents, accidents, and close calls meanStandard flight and fix log setupGathering proof: photos, data, and videoInside reporting and cause checksInsurance tell triggers and timesClient talk and secret keepingLesson 2GPS and communications risks: multipath, loss of signal near structures, mag interferenceYou go look at GPS and talk weak spots near buildings and setups, including multipath, signal gone, and magnet mess, and learn ways to spot, fix, and handle nav or control link drop in real time.
Causes and signs of GPS multipath errorsLoss of GPS and switch to manual modesRadio mess sources near town buildingsKeeping strong control and video linksCompass set and magnet odd spotsSafe settings for link or GPS lossLesson 3Pre-flight risk matrix and residual risk scoring methodsHere you go learn to build and use before-flight risk table, give chance and badness scores, figure left risk after fixes, and note okay choices that fit rules, company ways, and client hopes.
