4. Route/Time/Fuelfull fuel route is a left hand traffic pattern and roughly 12 minutes For item 10, use the FRAT below.
What is the correct loiter direction for the rally point and why?Why is the takeoff point not on the runway? Consider when the wayboard is achieved. Which waypoint appears unnecessary for landing on RWY 23 at KLAF? Under what conditions might this waypoint be necessary? point 5 seems unnecessary because we talked about this in lecture and it goes directly to 5 because it is the closest point if you have to abort takeoff.
If callout isn't completed in three steps, current commander retains control.Instructor must release momentary switch in emergencies to assume control formally.
Under normal operations, the SP will trigger mode changes. To abort a landing, SP throttle to 100% or press the abort landing button in GCS.Auto-takeoffGCS: State intention, direction of circuit, altitude, rally point location.SP: Read back and confirm GCS intentions.Stabilize in downwind, continue circuit (aircraft already in infinite auto circuit)SP: State intentions. Nudge aircraft.GCS: Confirm nudge seen. Confirm intentions.SP: Switch to stabilize after a proper countdown. State control

Overview
In this lab there are two major tasks. Believer Final Inspection Prep as well as Advanced Mission Planning and Emergencies. The Believer Final Inspection portion should be completed as a group.
The mission planning portion should be completely individual work and should not be completed with the assistance of your peers. We will be planning two separate missions. One will be a mission for the ULTRA on X-Plane and the other mission will be for your believer when operations start. All questions regarding mission planning should be directed immediately to your instructor. Task 0 should be completed before your sign up time.
Resources and Tools
Tasks - Believer Final Inspection Prep
Task 0 - Review Lab 01
Your classmates provided a quality assessment and punch list for your aircraft as a preliminary check before final inspection. Review this punch list to ensure all items were properly addressed.
Task 1 - Final Power On
Perform one final power check of your Believer. Be sure that the controls, motors, and all peripheral sensors work as expected. This is your final check before passing it off for final inspection next week.
Task 2 - Review Group E-portfolio
Your group e-portfolio will be reviewed as part of your final inspection next week. Be sure that you are happy with it’s condition.
Task 3 - Signoff Form
Complete the final inspection form below, confirming that your group is ready for final review beginning next week.

Tasks - Simulator
Task 0 - Pre-Briefings
Using Section D of the ULTRA UAS QRH above, create the following (simplified) briefings before your flight. You will brief your instructor verbally, so you need not write down your briefing; be prepared to lead it.
3. NOTAMS
papi unusable byd 9 deg right of cntr ln
4. Traffic
There should be no traffic in the area
5. Fleet/Aircraft active
5. DATX and SPAS battery and configuration
In correct and intact full battery and normal configuration
6. Radio links deconfliction
no conflict
7. Interna/ External comms – frequencies and numbers
KLAF tower 119.6 765-743-9687
8. Personal Protective Equipment and fire extinguishers
check and yes
9. Service bulletins
all service bulletins are up to date.
10. FRAT –
Start, complete & submit
completed and green submitted
11. Threat and Error management
switch into auto mode and maintain communication
12. Specific recovery procedures
if it is a bad landing we will switch in to stabilize mode and then do a go around to the next point after switching to auto or safety pilot
13. Emergency scenario -
single engine failure
advance throttle to full power. this helps to compensate for the lost thrust and maintain control of the UAV adjust the pitch attitude of the UAV to maintain a specific airspeed range of 52-54 knots keep throttle high make the landing slope slightly steeper than normal maintain a relatively high throttle setting
14. GCS initial Setup and Start Checklists
completed
Task 1 - Kidney Bean Mission
Kidney bean mission plan for KLAF RWY 23.
Using , other class resources, and the built-in GCS User Manual, recreate the mission below for KLAF RWY 10. Be sure that you achieve/answer the following:
Broken link
left hand turn because it should enter the way its turning and exit the way that the pattern goes
Because be will throttle up and then once it reaches the 0 it will start takeoff procedure
Task 2 - Auto/stabilize handoff
Control transfer follows a three-step callout:
"you have control," "I have control," "you have control.“
Specific calls between UAV Pilot Instructor and student:
"I have the sticks," "you have the sticks," "I have the sticks"
— confirmed by a nudge.
Alerts:
Refer to the control transfer calls above to transfer command of the aircraft in the following scenarios. Repeat these for all group members:
