1.Maintenance & Care Manual

Maintenance & Care Manual

The maintenance and care of the aircraft consist of three main tasks:
  1. Periodic Inspection:​ Check all aircraft systems weekly to ensure normal operation.
  2. Cleaning & Care:​ Clean the aircraft after each use, paying special attention to propellers and sensors.
  3. Battery Management:​ Avoid overcharging or deep discharging; replace aging batteries regularly.
Daily maintenance is the key to ensuring flight safety and extending equipment lifespan. Following the "Pre-flight, In-flight, Post-flight"​ workflow helps establish good maintenance habits.

I. Pre-Flight Check (Preventative Maintenance)

Pre-flight checks prevent flying with faults and serve as the first line of defense for safe operations. 1. Airframe Structure Inspection
  • Arms & Motors:​ Check that all arms are fully deployed and locked, with no looseness or cracks. Gently rotate the motors to check for abnormal noise and verify there is no shaft play.
  • Propellers:​ This is the top priority. Check blades for bending, cracks, nicks, or wear. Replace immediately even if minor damage is found. Ensure propellers are mounted securely without loosening.
  • Fuselage Shell:​ Check the main body for cracks or obvious deformation.
2. Power System Inspection
  • Battery:
    • Charge:Ensure sufficient battery level, accounting for flight, return-to-home (RTH), and emergency landing reserves.
    • Appearance:Check the battery casing for swelling, cracks, or burn marks. Cease use immediately if swollen​ and dispose of properly due to fire risk.
    • Contacts:Check metal contacts on both the battery and drone for cleanliness and absence of oxidation.
  • Motors:​ Manually spin the motors quickly to feel for smooth rotation without foreign object obstruction.
3. Vision & Sensor System
  • Lenses:​ Use a dedicated lens cloth or air blower to clean the camera lens, vision sensors (usually underside and sides), and obstacle avoidance sensors. Fingerprints, dust, or smudges severely impact image quality and flight safety.
  • Protection Cover:​ If using a camera hood/protector, ensure it is clean and properly mounted without obstructing the lens.
4. Remote Controller & Connectivity
  • RC:​ Check RC battery level, ensure sticks move smoothly, and antennas are fully extended.
  • Mobile Device:​ Ensure phone/tablet is sufficiently charged; close unrelated apps to guarantee smooth video transmission.
  • Firmware:​ Before departure, confirm that the drone, remote controller, and battery firmware are all updated to the latest versions.

II. In-Flight Precautions

Proper operation during flight is also a form of maintenance. 1. Takeoff & Landing
  • Surface:​ Choose a flat, clean, open hard surface (e.g., concrete, short grass). Avoid taking off from sandy or dusty areas to prevent debris ingestion and motor damage.
  • Landing:​ Land manually or ensure the RTH landing point is safe and clear.
2. Flight Environment
  • Avoid flying in adverse weather (rain, snow, fog).
  • Maintain distance from obstacles (trees, power lines, buildings).
  • Minimize prolonged low-altitude flight over seawater or lakes; moisture and salt spray are highly corrosive to electronics.
3. Operating Habits Avoid aggressive maneuvers such as sudden acceleration or hard braking. Smooth operation reduces shock loads on motors and the airframe.

III. Post-Flight Maintenance (Core Care Steps)

Post-flight maintenance directly impacts the long-term health of the drone. 1. Battery Handling
  • Cooling:​ Batteries are typically hot after flight. Do not​ charge immediately; allow them to cool naturally to room temperature.
  • Storage:​ If not flying in the short term, discharge batteries to 40%-60%​ for storage (most smart batteries have an auto-discharge function; set it to 2-3 days). This is the best practice for extending Li-ion battery life. Never store batteries fully charged or fully depleted.
2. Comprehensive Cleaning
  • Step 1: Use an air blower to remove dust and fine sand from body seams and inside motors.
  • Step 2: Gently wipe the fuselage, lenses, and sensors with a soft microfiber cloth. For stubborn stains, use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of water or isopropyl alcohol for careful cleaning.
  • Important:​ When cleaning motors, prevent dust from being blown deeper inside. Tilt the airframe to allow blown-out dust to fall away naturally.
3. Propellers
  • Inspect propellers for signs of wear at the roots and surfaces, then store them properly to avoid collision or compression deformation.
4. Storage
  • Wait for all equipment to cool completely before placing it in the carrying case.
  • Secure the drone, remote controller, and batteries in their designated positions within the case to prevent shaking and collision during transport.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures (e.g., car trunk).

IV. Periodic Deep Maintenance

In addition to daily care, conduct a deep inspection after a certain period or number of sorties.
  1. Shock Absorbers:​ Check the gimbal shock absorber balls for aging, deformation, or cracking, as this affects image stability.
  2. Calibration:​ If the drone experiences instability, drifting, or video transmission anomalies, perform an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)​ calibration and Compass​ calibration. Note: Calibration must be performed in an open area free of magnetic interference.
  3. Moving Parts:​ Inspect arms, folding mechanisms, motor mounts, propellers, and flight controller mounting for normal range of motion and security.

Maintenance Tool Checklist

Prepare a simple "Maintenance Toolkit" to increase efficiency:
  1. Air Blower:​ First choice for removing dust.
  2. Microfiber Cloth:​ For wiping lenses and the airframe.
  3. Soft Small Brush:​ For sweeping fine gaps.

2.USA LAWS–Public Transportation Usage Permit For S100
Here is the professionally formatted English translation of the FAA 14 CFR Part 103 regulations tailored for the YUFEI S100 eVTOL. FAA 14 CFR Part 103 — Ultralight Vehicles Detailed Legal Interpretation & Hard Requirements for S100 eVTOL.
1. Legal Basis
14 CFR Part 103 — Ultralight Vehicles
The FAA explicitly states that if an eVTOL meets the definition of Part 103, it is exempt from Type Certification (TC), registration, pilot licensing, and medical certification.
2. §103.1 Applicability — Definition of an Ultralight Vehicle (Core Compliance Threshold)
Under §103.1(a)(b)(c)(e), a powered ultralight vehicle must meet ALL​ the following conditions:
No. Requirement Item Statutory Limit S100 Status
Single-Seat Limit​ Only one occupant (including pilot) permitted. ✅ Compliant​
Operational Limitation​ For Recreation or Sport Only. Commercial operations are strictly prohibited. ✅ Compliant​ (Recreational/Demonstration)
No Type Certificate​ Must not possess a U.S. or foreign Airworthiness Certificate (Type Certificate). ✅ DIY Kit / No TC​
Empty Weight (Critical)​ Empty weight < 254 lb (115.2 kg). Batteries count toward empty weight. ✅ S100 Empty Weight 105–108kg < 115.2kg​
Exemptions: Floats (+60 lb) and Ballistic Parachutes (+24 lb) do not count toward this limit.
Fuel/Energy Capacity​ Fuel ≤ 5 U.S. gallons (19L). ✅ Compliant​
For electric eVTOLs, the FAA currently interprets this via equivalent energy; in practice, battery volume within reasonable limits is tacitly accepted.
Maximum Level Flight Speed​ ≤ 55 knots (kt) Calibrated Airspeed (CAS)​ ≈ 63 mph ≈ 101.4 km/h at full power in level flight. ✅ S100 Cruise 72 / Max 103 km/h requires software speed limiting to ≤55kt (101km/h) or labeling "Demo Mode exceeds Part 103".​
Stall Speed​ Stall speed ≤ 24 kt (CAS) ≈ 27.6 mph ≈ 44.4 km/h with engine stopped. ✅ Multi-rotor VTOL has no traditional stall—FAA typically requires proof of equivalent forward speed limits or grants exemption by analogy to rotorcraft.

⚠️ Critical Note (eVTOL Specificity):
Multi-rotor eVTOLs lack traditional wing stall characteristics. The FAA currently relies on "Maximum Forward Translational Speed ≤ 55kt"​ and "Empty Weight Compliance"​ as primary criteria. While some manufacturers seek written confirmation (Declaratory Letter), most homebuilt multi-rotors operate under Part 103 by default.
3. §103.7 Certification & Registration Exemption
(a) Airworthiness:​ Ultralight vehicles and their components do not need to meet aircraft airworthiness standards nor possess a Certificate of Airworthiness.
(b) Pilot Qualification:​ Operators do not need​ an aviation knowledge test, age limit, experience requirement, pilot license, or medical certificate.
(c) Registration & Markings:​ Registration with the FAA is not required, nor is there a requirement to display any registration marks on the fuselage.
4. Subpart B — Operating Rules (Mandatory Compliance)
Section Rule Description Details
§103.9​ Prohibition Against Hazardous Operations​ May not operate in a manner that creates a hazard to others or property. Prohibited from dropping objects creating hazards.
§103.11​ Daylight Operations​ Allowed only between sunrise and sunset.
Exception:​ If equipped with an anti-collision light​ visible for at least 3 statute miles (4.8 km)​ and operating entirely within Class G airspace, flight is permitted up to 30 min before/after civil twilight.
§103.13​ Right-of-Way & Proximity​ Must maintain vigilance to See and Avoid​ all other aircraft.
Must Yield Right-of-Way​ to all other aircraft.
Powered ultralights must yield to unpowered ultralights (gliders/balloons).
§103.15​ Congested Areas & Assembly​ Strictly prohibited​ from flying over any congested area of a city or town.
Strictly prohibited​ from flying over any open-air assembly of persons.
§103.17​ Specific Airspace Restrictions​ Prohibited​ from entering Class A, B, C, or D airspace, and the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace.
Unless​ prior authorization (verbal/written) is obtained from ATC.
§103.21​ Visual Reference​ Must maintain visual reference with the surface​ (cannot fly out of sight relying solely on instruments).
§103.23​ Visibility & Cloud Clearance​ Flight visibility ≥ 1 statute mile.
Cloud clearance: 500 ft below / 1000 ft above / 2000 ft horizontal (or coordinated with ATC).
§103.3​ Inspection Authority​ The FAA or authorized representatives may request inspection to confirm compliance with Part 103; operators must provide satisfactory evidence.
§103.5​ Waivers​ Any deviation from Part 103 provisions requires a written waiver from the FAA; otherwise, operation is illegal.

5. S100 eVTOL Compliance Action Checklist
✅ Empty Weight​ (incl. battery) ≤ 115.2kg (108kg)
✅ floats/chute exemptions available).
✅ Flight Control Software​ must enforce a hard Vmax limit ≤ 55kt (101km/h) for Sport Mode.
✅ Remove all commercial branding; label strictly as "Recreational Use Only".
✅ Flight Site:​ Rural / Private Land / Class G (Uncontrolled) Airspace only.
✅ Avoid cities/towns/crowds; avoid B/C/D surface areas and Class E airports.
✅ Daytime operations; Night ops require ≥3sm anti-collision lights AND Class G airspace.
✅ Maintain constant VLOS (Visual Line of Sight); Yield to all aircraft.
⚠️ Legal Risk Warning
If the S100 is marketed with a top speed of 103 km/h​ but lacks a software-enforced speed lock, the FAA may determine it fails to meet the §103.1(e)(3) 55kt limit. This would remove its Part 103 protection, requiring it to be registered as a General Aviation (GA) aircraft, requiring a pilot license, and a Type Certificate—otherwise, operation is illegal. It is recommended to clearly distinguish between "Part 103 Compliant Mode"​ and "Demonstration/Unlimited Mode"​ at delivery.
3.Customs declaration precautions: Do not use the declaration reason of HS8806299900.
Justification for Exclusion of HS 8806.2999.00 for S100 Ultralight eVTOL Kit
I. HS Code Classification Principles (HS Explanatory Notes)

Reason ❶: [Scope Mismatch — 8806 Exclusively Covers Spacecraft, Excluding Atmospheric Aircraft]

Legal Definition of HS 8806:
"Spacecraft (including satellites) and suborbital and spacecraft launch vehicles, and parts thereof."
WCO HS Explanatory Notes to Chapter 88 explicitly states:
"Heading 8806 covers spacecraft… which are designed to operate outside the earth's atmosphere… Aircraft (including helicopters, aeroplanes, gliders, balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles and other lighter-than-air or heavier-than-air craft operating within the atmosphere) are classified in heading 8801, 8802 or 8803."
The S100 eVTOL is a heavier-than-air craft operating within the atmosphere, relying on aerodynamic lift for flight. It is neither a spacecraft, a suborbital vehicle, nor a satellite. Therefore, by law, it must be classified under Heading 8801 (Aircraft) or 8802 (Helicopters/Aeroplanes), and has no relation to 8806.
✅ Conclusion:​ According to the HS Convention and China's Customs Tariff and Statistical Classification of Commodities, atmospheric eVTOLs are excluded from 8806.

Reason ❷: [S100 Lacks Spacecraft / Suborbital Capability and Design Intent]
Service Ceiling:​ S100 design altitude ≤ 120 m (400 ft), far below the Kármán line (100 km).
Structural/Thermal:​ No maneuvering/structural/thermal control/propulsion systems adapted for vacuum/near-vacuum environments.
Mission Profile:​ No orbital maintenance, re-entry heat shielding, or attitude control propulsion functions.
Intended Use:​ Explicitly for low-altitude, personal recreational flight within the atmosphere (Recreational VFR).
➡️ Classifying it under "Spacecraft and Parts" (8806) severely contradicts the physical attributes, design function, and trade usage of the goods, constituting a significant risk of misclassification.
II. Perspective of Chinese Customs Enforcement and Classification Practice

Reason ❸: [China Customs "Tariff & Statistical Classification" Chapter 88 Clearly Distinguishes]
Interpretation of 8801:​ "...Other aircraft (not elsewhere specified), including ultralight aircraft, gliders, balloons, airships, and unmanned aerial vehicles..."
Interpretation of 8806:​ "...Artificial satellites, space stations, space probes, and launch vehicles..."
Enforcement Precedent:​ Historical cases show that all multi-rotor drones, eVTOLs, and ultralight aircraft are classified under 8801 or 8803; none have been accepted under 8806.
✅ As a single-seat electric ultralight aircraft kit (empty weight 108kg, no Type Certificate, CCAR-91.801 / FAA Part 103), S100 fits the description of 8801.0090 "Other Aircraft — Other."

Reason ❹: [Declaring under 8806 Triggers Classification Challenges, Amendment Risks, and Potential Administrative Penalties]
If forcibly declaring under 8806.2999.00:
The Customs system will trigger logic conflict warnings between "Spacecraft" and the product name "eVTOL / Ultralight Aircraft Kit."
On-site valuation typically demands:
Technical documentation proving space purpose.
Pre-classification Ruling.
If unable to prove space attributes → Customs may determine misdeclaration of classification​ → Order to amend declaration + potential late declaration fees/amendment costs; severe cases may lead to filing under the Customs Administrative Penalty Implementation Regulations.
Even if eventually corrected to 8801, it causes clearance delays (typically 1–3 working days or more).
III. International Trade and Destination Country Customs Clearance Perspective

Reason ❺: [Destination Countries (e.g., U.S. CBP / EU Customs) Will Also Reject 8806 Classification]
U.S. HTSUS 8806​ corresponds to "Spacecraft & Satellites"; CBP will demand proof of space purpose.
eVTOLs are more readily accepted under 8801 (US HTS 8801.00.xx)​ or drone category 8803.
Incorrect use of 8806 may result in import-side demands for supplementary certificates, cargo detention, or re-declaration, negatively impacting customer receipt.

IV. S100 Correct Classification Conclusion (Summary)
Item Content
Correct HS Code (Primary)​ 8801.0090 — Other Aircraft — Other​
Declared Product Name​ Electric Single-Seat Ultralight Vehicle Kit (Recreational Use, Not Type Certified, CKD/SKD)
Single-seat electric ultra-light aircraft complete set of spare parts (for entertainment purposes, not certified for airworthiness, not a complete aircraft)
Excluded Code​ ❌ 8806.2999.00 (Spacecraft & Parts — Not Applicable)
Classification Basis​ WCO HS Explanatory Notes Ch.88; China Customs Tariff Chapter 88; S100 is an atmospheric aircraft, not a spacecraft
Supporting Documents​ Statement of Non-Airworthy Recreational Ultralight Kit+ Non-Dual-Use Goods Declaration

 

V. Short Version for Customs Brokers


"The S100 is an ultralight electric aircraft kit operating within the earth's atmosphere. According to HS Explanatory Notes and WCO interpretations, it must be classified under Heading 8801; 8806 is strictly limited to spacecraft/satellites and does not apply to this consignment."
4.Customs declaration Summary Recommendation:HS 8801.0090 Best.

5.Navigation system operation
The aircraft is equipped with GPS satellite positioning capabilities, and can switch to attitude mode (i.e., manual mode) if navigation is interfered with ;

S100 eVTOL – Skydroid H12 Navigation & GPS Failure Procedure

1. System Overview

The S100 eVTOL is equipped with a GNSS satellite positioning system, supporting Navigation Modes​ including Auto (Waypoint Mission), Position Hold, and Return-to-Launch (RTL). In the event of GNSS signal loss, jamming, or degradation, the aircraft is designed to fall back to Attitude Mode​ (also known as Stabilize Mode). This mode provides manual control with self-leveling capability, ensuring the aircraft remains controllable and safe even without GPS data.

2. Flight Mode Configuration (H12 Mapping)

The S100 Flight Controller (FC) typically maps the three-position switch on the Skydroid H12 (e.g., Switch A/B/C or E) to the following flight modes. Please verify your specific configuration using the GCS software (Mission Planner or QGroundControl).
Switch Position Flight Mode Description
LOW Stabilize / Attitude Manual with Self-Leveling.​ Does not require GPS. Use this mode if navigation is lost.
MID AltHold / PosHold GPS-Based Hover.​ Maintains position and altitude. Requires ≥6–8 satellites and a 3D Fix.
HIGH Auto / Mission / RTL Autonomous Flight.​ Executes pre-programmed waypoints or returns to the launch point. Requires strong GPS signal.
⚠️ Note:​ Exact channel mapping is subject to S100 parameter setup (FLTMODE1/2/3in ArduPilot or RC_MAP_FLTMODEin PX4). Always verify switch functionality during the pre-flight checklist.

3. Normal GPS Navigation Operation

Follow these steps to conduct a standard GPS-assisted flight:
  1. Power Up:​ Turn on the H12 transmitter and the S100 aircraft.
  2. System Check:​ Confirm the H12 telemetry screen displays GPS 3D Fix (8 sats)​ and a healthy battery voltage.
  3. Arming:​ Arm the motors (via switch or stick command).
  4. Mode Selection:​ Move the mode switch to the MID​ position for PosHold or HIGH​ for Auto/RTL.
  5. Mission Execution:Open Skydroid GCS​ (based on QGroundControl).Navigate to Plan​ →Upload Waypoints →Start Mission.
  6. Monitoring:​ Continuously monitor the GPS satellite count during the entire flight duration.

4. GPS Interference / Signal Loss – Procedure

If the GNSS signal is compromised due to interference, obstruction, or hardware failure, follow the procedure below.

Symptoms of GPS Failure

  • GPS satellite count drops below 5 or displays "No 3D Fix".
  • H12 telemetry warns "GPS Unhealthy"​ or indicates position drift.
  • PosHold / Auto mode may be automatically disengaged by the Flight Controller (FC).
  Standard Recovery Procedure
  1. Immediate Mode Switch:​ Move the mode switch to LOW (Stabilize / Attitude Mode). Result:The aircraft remains aerodynamically stable and controllable with self-leveling.
  2. Disable GPS Dependency:​ Do NOT​ attempt to re-engage PosHold or Auto modes until the signal is restored.
  3. Visual Acquisition:​ Acquire and maintain Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of the aircraft. Manually fly the aircraft back to the landing zone.
  4. RTL Activation:​ Only activate Return-to-Launch (RTL) if GPS signal integrity is fully restored.
  5. Post-Flight Analysis:​ After landing, inspect the aircraft for magnetic interference or shielding issues that may have caused the failure. Firmware Note:​ Some S100 firmware configurations feature automatic fallback to Attitude Mode upon GPS loss (verify FS_GPS_ENABLEin ArduPilot or COM_FLIGHT_USES_GPSin PX4). However, the pilot must always be prepared to manually select Stabilize mode.

5. Key Warnings & Compliance

VLOS Requirement:​ Never fly beyond Visual Line of Sight (VLOS). GPS loss combined with First Person View (FPV) latency presents a high crash risk. Regulatory Compliance:​ The S100 is classified as an FAA Part 103 Ultralight Vehicle. Restrict all demonstration flights to rural or private enclosed sites. Maximum operational height should not exceed 10–20 meters. Geo-fencing:​ It is highly recommended to configure a digital Geo-fence: Horizontal radius ≤100 m, Vertical ceiling ≤20 m. Training:​ Pilots must practice Stabilize-only flying​ extensively before attempting any GPS navigation missions.

6. Quick Reference Card

"Fly GPS modes (PosHold/Auto) only with solid 3D Fix. On GPS loss/jamming → switch immediately to Stabilize (Attitude Mode) and resume visual line-of-sight manual control."  
6.Environmental adaptation
It has a wind resistance rating of level 5 and can cope with extreme weather conditions with wind speeds up to level 8 .
It has an IP54 waterproof rating and has undergone actual heavy rain flight testing, but flying in the rain is not recommended.
The operating ambient temperature is -10 to 40 degrees Celsius .
7.Aircraft Safety Design and Materials
1) Racing-level cage frame made of aerospace aluminum alloy, with excellent safety performance;
2) Redundant design for key components: 8 engines, one arm with two motors and two sets of controllers, with low risk of failure; two sets of batteries serve as backups for each other, and a single set of batteries can provide the power needed for normal flight;
3) Seat design curve: Considering the situation of a crash, the back is the first to touch the ground, reducing the risk of injury to the ischial bones;
4) Industrial simulation: Cooperated with the leading figure in industrial simulation software, Isa, to simulate the safety aspects of the aircraft, improving flight safety;
5) Passenger protection: Equipped with a helmet, four-point safety belts, and an airbag vest, enhancing protection;
6) Operating scenarios: Firstly, in terms of flight altitude and speed, even if the crash speed is high, it will not be too great; secondly, we choose grassland and water surfaces for operational flights, and the aircraft has a buffer when crashing; thirdly, we choose enclosed areas for operation, and the area below the flight path will be isolated to ensure the impact on onlookers;
7) Safety management system: Flight safety is more dependent on the implementation of safety management details. We have formulated detailed safety management rules to ensure that each flight is carried out with all management actions in place before leaving the factory, before takeoff, during flight, and after flight.
8.Cockpit display configuration
The aircraft cockpit is equipped with a display screen that shows information such as flight speed, altitude, voltage, battery level, flight mode, and real-time navigation map .
9. Driving Mode
It features three distinct driving modes:
The first is remote control;
The second is on-board joystick control;
The third involves traveling along a pre-set automated path.
We have developed a comprehensive training program that typically allows users to fully master the controls in just 30 minutes.
To minimize the learning curve, we have developed a multi-tiered flight assistance system that includes self-stabilization and hover modes, and even supports one-touch takeoff and landing as well as automatic return-to-home functions.
Support the disabling of all auxiliary 'expert mode' options to Meet the Racing Specifications.
10. The maturity of the aircraft model
Since the commencement of initial testing in 2019, the first and second-generation products have collectively completed over 2,000 flights; the third-generation product has accumulated over 9,000 flights, totaling more than 700 hours of flight time.
The product has undergone rigorous simulation testing and physical validation, including flight verification across 20 distinct extreme scenarios.

Low-Altitude Flight Experience – Passenger Guidelines

To ensure your safety and enjoyment, please strictly adhere to the following guidelines before, during, and after the flight.

I. Pre-Flight Preparation

1. Physical Health Condition
  • Basic Requirements:​ Passengers must not suffer from heart disease, hypertension, severe acrophobia (fear of heights), recent major surgery, epilepsy, etc. Pregnant women are strongly discouraged from flying.
  • Mental State:​ Ensure adequate sleep before the flight. Avoid flying under conditions of extreme fatigue, intoxication, or after taking medication that impairs mental alertness.
  • Communication Ability:​ Passengers must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with the pilot.
2. Dress Code & Equipment
  • Clothing:​ Wear lightweight, warm, casual sportswear. Avoid skirts and excessively loose clothing​ to prevent entanglement. Layered clothing is recommended depending on season and altitude.
  • Footwear:Closed-toe athletic shoes or hiking boots are mandatory.​ Flip-flops, sandals, and high heels are strictly prohibited.
  • Sun Protection:​ UV rays are intense at altitude. Apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses (preferably with a retainer strap to prevent loss).
  • Personal Belongings:​ Before takeoff, securely store all small items (mobile phones, cameras, wallets, keys, etc.). Items can be handed to ground staff or placed in designated secure pockets (ensure zippers are closed). Absolutely no handheld items are allowed during flight​ to prevent dropping.
3. Psychological Preparation
  • Trust the Pilot:​ Your pilot is professionally trained and certified. Please trust their judgment and skills implicitly.
  • Takeoff & Landing:​ Expect brief vibrations during takeoff and landing; do not panic.
  • In-Flight:​ While generally smooth, minor turbulence caused by air currents may occur. This is normal—remain relaxed.

II. During the Flight

1. Follow Instructions
  • Absolute Compliance:​ You must follow the pilot’s instructions completely throughout the flight. The pilot is the sole commander of this operation.
  • Takeoff & Landing:
    • Takeoff:Upon hearing "Ready for takeoff," relax and prepare for liftoff.
    • Landing:Remain seated until the aircraft is fully grounded and all propellers have stopped.
  • In-Air Conduct:Do not extend hands outside the cockpit.​ Do not unfasten your seatbelt or helmet without permission.
2. Airborne Behavior
  • Photography & Video:​ If using a phone or camera, ensure it is tethered to your wrist or neck with a lanyard and only operate it during stable flight phases.
  • Body Movement:​ Maintain a stable seated posture. Avoid sudden, large movements (e.g., violent twisting, shaking), as this affects flight balance.
  • Communication:​ The pilot will communicate via the intercom system in your helmet. You may ask questions or report discomfort, but please keep communications concise to avoid distracting the pilot.

III. Post-Flight

  1. Only after the pilot confirms the aircraft is fully stationary may you release the safety buckle and exit the aircraft under guidance.
  2. Retrieve your personal belongings and check for any lost items.
  3. Feedback is welcome—please share your opinions or suggestions with the operations team.

IV. Important Disclaimers & Safety Statements

  1. Pilot Authority (Weather):​ The pilot holds absolute authority regarding flight decisions. Decisions regarding whether to fly, when to take off, when to return, or whether to alter/cancel the flight are made solely by the pilot based on real-time weather (wind speed/direction, visibility, cloud cover) and safety conditions. Even if payment has been made, please understand and cooperate if flights are canceled due to weather.
  2. Safety Liability:​ Any safety incident resulting from the passenger’s failure to comply with these guidelines (e.g., disobeying instructions, concealing medical conditions, unauthorized operation) shall be the passenger’s sole responsibility.
  3. Insurance:​ All legitimate operators provide aviation accident insurance for passengers. Please confirm insurance arrangements before the flight.

V. Quick Process Summary

Step Action
1. Arrival Sign in, confirm physical condition, weigh-in, sign safety waiver.
2. Preparation Store belongings, gear up (helmet/harness), listen to pilot briefing.
3. Takeoff Follow commands until liftoff.
4. Flight Relax and enjoy the view, follow commands, take stable photos.
5. Landing Follow commands until the aircraft is fully stopped.
6. Completion Remove gear, retrieve belongings, share your experience.
8.How is flight safety ensured?
1) From the perspective of manned safe flight, we suggest that the safe flight altitude at ultra-low altitude should be 3-5 meters; and we recommend gliding flight to avoid prolonged vertical take-off and landing;
2) Battery redundancy: A single battery of the aircraft can support the take-off and landing of the aircraft;
3) Power redundancy: The power redundancy mechanism of the aircraft can ensure safe take-off and landing in the case where one motor of each of the four arms fails;
4) In the event of a sudden generator failure and vertical drop, the main safety mechanisms include: The fuselage is in a racing car cage-like structure, effectively protecting personal safety; The seat is made of suspended carbon fiber material, which can absorb 70% of the impact force; Finally, wearing protective clothing, even if there is a failure, the person will not suffer serious injuries.
9.Purchase Of Insurance
To ensure the healthy development of low-altitude flight activities, participants are strongly advised to purchase insurance for safety protection. Flight sports insurance is mainly divided into three categories: site third-party liability insurance, aircraft passenger and pilot insurance, and aircraft property insurance. Currently, there are corresponding insurance companies providing support for these three types. Overseas, the specific coverage depends on the country.
