1.2 General Guidelines
The pilot MUST be Flyability Certified Elios 2 Pilot and, if required by laws, with other drone pilot licenses or any
other certification necessary to pilot Elios 2.
A damaged propeller may break, and pieces of broken blade can become dangerous projectiles and reduce the
aircraft reliability. Replace the propeller if it is broken, cracked, bent, or damaged in any way. Operator and surrounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.
Debris can be ejected at high velocity from the aircraft propulsion. Operator and surrounding personnel MUST
wear safety glasses.
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 2 system can be stressing, tiring and prone to muscular fatigue. The controller 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.
During a flight, parts of the aircraft can become very hot. Wait 3 minutes after disarming for it to cool down and
access the battery. If time is constraint, you may use protective gloves to change the battery during the cooling
period.
Using the LED pulsing on Elios 2 can be tiring and stressful for the pilot and surrounding personnel. It can trigger
a seizure on person with epilepsy.
Front module contains magnet that can disrupt the proper functioning of medical devices or disturbing certain
electronic devices in a near field.
DO NOT use Elios 2 under influence of alcohol, drugs or any substances that may impair cognitive 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 2, 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 2 (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 2 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 or if objects, fingers or any other body parts are inside the protective cage.
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. You must wear protective gloves to touch the aircraft if the propellers are
spinning.
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

1.3 Environmental Awareness
ELIOS 2
1 – Safety
Always fly within the listed conditions. It will reduce incident and damage on the aircraft.
Do not fly close to people.
Elios 2 is not waterproof. Do not fly under heavy rain/snow or in humid environments. Moisture can seriously
damage the electronics of Elios 2.
Store the Elios 2 system in a dry environment between 0°C and 30°C protected from sunlight.
Avoid flying in a dusty, or sandy environment or s ubject to vapor, or gas. If not applicable, avoid flying close to
people. 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 o bjects 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 2. If the wind is higher than 3m/s, it should be piloted in disabled Pilot assist
mode. In this mode and/or with the wind higher than 3m/s, Flyability cannot guaranty Elios 2 capability to sustain
a collision. With the wind above 5m/s, Flyability cannot guarantee the stability or flying capability of Elios 2.
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 battery 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 Pilot assist performance may diminish. The maximum power
of the lighting system will reduce for the system safety. 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. Pay extra attention to not to uch the
lighting system heatsinks or the motors during the cooldown period.
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 and transmission system, impacting the aircraft’s stability and flying capability.
The aircraft propulsion system makes loud noises. Wearing ear protection is mandatory 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 2 should not be used in or near explosive or flammable environments.
