Lab 01- NIST OTL VLOS

Introduction

During this lab we were performing a test procedure that NIST OTL does. NIST OTL stands for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Engineering Laboratory Intelligent Systems Division. We were doing a basic maneuvering test trial. We had three clusters of buckets exactly ten feet apart from each other. In each bucket there was green rings on the bottom. These tests are used to quantitatively evaluate various system capabilities and remote pilot proficiency. They are being standardized through the ASTM.

Weather

The weather was a little bit windy 20kts (I believe) , mid 60s, and sunny! My team members were Bella, Clayton, and Venky.

Procedure

The flight was performed with a Proctor reading aloud the instructions on the sheet we were given, we had to be 10 feet (3 meters) up in the air and then take pictures of the buckets listed after the maneuver. There was a VO watching and then the PIC. There was a lot of repetitive steps and pictures but it was all based on standardizing them. Each of my team members got right around the ten minute mark.

Summary

I feel like this lab helped me a lot with fine adjustments and understanding gimbal control a little better, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was because in lecture I was stressing that it would be a hard thing to pass. It also helped people understand that they have to communicate. Me and my team members were very supportive of each other.
