1 Safety
Read carefully and understand these important safety instructions
before flying to prevent any risk of accident and serious injuries.
1.1 Operation Safety Rules
During operation and missions please observe the following rules. Make sure people around you have
been briefed about safety accordingly.
Warning
Read the original
instrucations
Wear eye protection
Wear head protection
Have protective gloves
in vicinity
Everyone surrounding the operation must wear eye and head protections. They must have
protective gloves in vicinity1. They should not wear jewelry, loose clothing or long hair.
Apart from the camera operator, the spotter, or the inspector, no one should talk to the pilot.
It may reduce his concentration.
When the propellers are spinning, the aircraft must not be touched. If not applicable, make
sure the aircraft is stable, touch only the aircraft’s protective cage with your hands wide open
and your fingers straight to prevent any of them from entering the cage.
Avoid any presence of people directly below the aircraft.
In case of accident, do not try to catch the falling aircraft. Your safety is more important than
the aircraft.
The area around the pilot, in addition to the takeoff and landing area should all be free from
people and obstacles.

1.2 General Guidelines
The pilot MUST have followed the mandatory training provided by Flyability or their certified
agents prior to operating the Elios system.
The pilot should always act accordingly to his or her best judgment, focusing on the safety of
the people and the environment he or she is flying in. The pilot MUST brief every personnel
attending or surrounding the flight about safety. While piloting, the pilot should not move as
it may cause him to slip, trip or fall causing personal injuries.
DO NOT fly over or near people, moving vehicles. Always give way to other aircrafts. Watch out
for low flying helicopters
Operating the Elios system can be stressing, tiring and prone to muscular fatigue. The control-
ler is equipped with a hook. Use the provided controller strap to relieve your muscles. It will
also avoid you to lose, drop, or damage the ground control station.
DO NOT use Elios under influence of alcohol, drugs or any substances that may impair cogni-
tive abilities.
A risk assessment MUST be performed before every flight
The pilot MUST always go through the checklists before, during and after each flight.
Elios, like any remotely piloted aircraft system, must be operated per the laws of the country
it is used in. It is the sole responsibility of the pilot to be informed of the applicable restrictions.
If you are flying in a public environment or around people, make sure to respect the rules of
flight in line of sight.
Use only provided Flyability parts, genuine Flyability parts, or parts certified by Flyability. Using
other devices or parts combination with Elios (e.g. batteries, propellers, etc.) or performing
unauthorized modifications may result in system malfunctioning and/or compromise safety.
It is strongly recommended to avoid any operation inside the aircraft’s cage when the battery
is plugged in, except turning off the aircraft (unplugging the battery).
DO NOT wear jewelry, loose clothing or long hair when operating Elios or being in its vicinity.
Under no circumstances, objects, fingers or any other body parts may enter inside the aircraft’s
protective cage while it is armed (when the propellers are spinning). It may result in serious
injuries for the person and damage the aircraft.
DO NOT perform the arming sequence or arm the aircraft (make propellers spin) before and
during the removal or insertion of the battery.
When the propellers are spinning, the aircraft must not be touched. If not applicable, make
sure the aircraft is stable, touch only the aircraft’s protective cage with your hands wide open
and your fingers straight to prevent any of them from entering the cage.
Propellers have sharp edges; protective gloves MUST be worn while changing a propeller.
If the aircraft is unresponsive due to malfunction, make the disarming sequence and DO NOT
try put your hand or fingers into the cage during 1h after the incident. Wear protective gloves
to disconnect the battery.
After a strong crash (more than 1m free fall), do not touch the aircraft as it may explode or
catch fire. If the aircraft is in an enclosed place, or near to an explosive or flammable environment, you may carefully place it in a properly ventilated area. A risk assessment should be
performed prior taking any actions.
It is recommended to use only transport cases approved by Flyability.
Read carefully the Battery Safety Guidelines and the Quick Start Guide before using the Elios
system.

1.3 Environmental Awareness
Always fly within the listed conditions. It will reduce incident and damage on the aircraft.
Elios is not waterproof. Do not fly under heavy rain/snow or in humid environments. Moisture
can seriously damage the electronics of Elios.
Store the Elios system in a dry environment between 0°C and 30°C protected from sunlight.
Avoid flying in a dusty, or sandy environment or subject to vapor, or gas. If not applicable, avoid
flying close to people and have yourself and surrounding personnel wear eye protection and
respiratory protection as the propulsion system may blow dust, vapor or gas to you. Do not
forget this topic in your risk assessment. Note that, mechanical parts may deteriorate more
rapidly in dusty or sandy environments.
Even if the cage protects the aircraft, small objects can penetrate the cage and damage the
aircraft. Be sure while flying, that protruding objects and/or any falling objects will not go
through the cage as it might break the propellers, damage the aircraft, or create high velocity
projectiles. In case of doubt performing a risk assessment is recommended and eye protection
MUST be worn.
Flying in low pressure environment such as high altitudes above the sea level might reduce
flight time, and the stability of the aircraft.
The wind has serious effects on Elios. If the wind is higher than 3m/s, it should be piloted in
Pro-mode
. In this mode and/or with the wind higher than 3m/s, Flyability cannot guaranty
Elios capability to sustain a collision. With the wind above 5m/s, Flyability cannot guarantee
the stability or flying capability of Elios.
Very cold temperatures lead to reduced flight times. Do not fly in temperatures below 0°C. If
you need to fly within a temperature below 10°C, heat the batteries prior usage using a battery
warmer bag and observe safe practices as described in the Battery Safety Guidelines.
Hot temperatures – above 40°C – will interfere with the batteries performances. The pilot
should observe the safe practices regarding the battery described in the Battery Safety Guidelines. Also, Flyability cannot guaranty the collision sustainability of the aircraft above 40°C. The
aircraft should not be left switched on without propellers spinning in temperature above 40°C,
the electronics needs to be cooled down by the airflow generated by the propulsion system.
In such temperatures use gloves for changing the battery or wait for at least 10 minutes for
the drone to cool down in a zone where the temperature is below 30°C.
Flyability cannot guaranty the aircraft flight capability and stability if not used in temperatures
from 0°C to 50°C.
It is not recommended to operate the aircraft close to power lines, power transformers or
other areas with high electromagnetic disturbances as these may cause severe effects on the
sensors, impacting the aircraft’s stability and flying capability.
The aircraft propulsion system makes loud noises. Wearing ear protection is recommended
when flying in enclosed areas or when the aircraft is operating close to the personnel.
If you are flying in a confined or enclosed place, avoid being inside this environment with the
aircraft flying. Do not forget this topic in your risk assessment.
Avoid flying in a biohazard environment. If not applicable, avoid flying close to people and
have yourself and surrounding personnel wear eye protection and respiratory protection as
the propulsion system may blow contaminated particles to you. Also, wear gloves and appropriate protection while manipulating the aircraft and its equipment until further decontamination. Do not forget this topic in your risk assessment.
Elios should not be used in or near explosive or flammable environments,
