User Manual
Flying a drone autonomously with FieldAgent is extremely
easy, but like driving a car, there is a training process that
should be completed before you can fly safely and
comfortably. This document will set you up for success,
regardless of your current skill level.
Advice: Set aside 1 day to become comfortable using your system.

If you are using your drone for business purposes, the FAA expects
you to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate as outlined in the FAA Part 107
Rules.
This involves studying, registering for and passing a written exam.

Tip: Make your first flight at a local park. Just ensure you are abiding by local
and federal laws. (Don’t fly over people!)
We recommend all users take their drone out to complete AT LEAST 10
successful manual flights before performing an autonomous mission with
FieldAgent.
