- Confirm a fast SD card is inserted in the drone (minimum 64G, V30 or U3)
- Verify that total station readings have been taken of GCPs and, if not done yet, upload them to Siteaware via the CaptureApp.
- Review the mission plan prepared by Siteaware and notify your CXM if there are obstacles missing or if the mission doesn’t cover the entire pour area.
- Check the current airspace regulations.
Once on the Deck:
