2. OPERATING LIMITATIONS

2.1 Introduction

This Section includes operating limitations which are necessary for the safe operation of the Meadowhawk, motors, standard equipment and standard payload.

WARNING

All limitations given in this Section must be complied for all operations.

NOTE

Refer to the Supplements, Section 9 of this Remote Vehicle Flight Manual for amended Operating Limitations, Operating Procedures, Performance Data and other necessary information for the Meadowhawk equipped with specific equipment or payload.

2.2 Airspeed Limitations

Stall Speed

N/A

Operating Maneuvering Speed

22 MPH

Maximum Structural Cruising Speed

30 MPH

Never Exceed Speed

38 MPH

NOTE

Flight speeds and flight envelope are limited by flight controller factory settings. Wind speeds may affect these values.

2.3 Mass | Centre of Gravity Limits

Empty Weight - Without Flight Battery or Payload

4 lbs / 1.8 KG

Nominal Take-Off Weight - with Standard Flight Battery, Standard Payload

7 lbs / 3.1 KG

Maximum Take-Off Weight

10 lbs / 4.5 KG

WARNING

Exceeding weight limitations may lead to overloading of the Meadowhawk structure and cause loss of control of the Meadowhawk and/or structural damage.

The reference datum for determining the longitudinal Centre of Gravity is located below; given the lateral symmetry of the Meadowhawk, the reference line for the lateral Centre of Gravity is located on the symmetry axis.

WARNING

Exceeding the centre of gravity limitations reduces the maneuverability and stability of the Meadowhawk.

NOTE

The values are based on simulations and are verified during D&R

2.3.1 Longitudinal Centre of Gravity Limits

Forward/Aft

2.3.2 Lateral Centre of Gravity Limits

Left/Right

2.4 Flight and Maneuver Limitations

2.5 Flight Battery Limitations

Approved Types of Batteries

Union Robotics® Li-ion 14 Ah

Minimum Operation Voltage

17V

Recommended Operation Voltage

25.2V

Maximum Number of Charge Cycles

200

2.6 Weather Limitations

Do not fly Meadowhawk in temperatures

Exceeding 45°C(113°F)

or Below -20°C(-4°F)

Do not fly Meadowhawk in wind exceeding

20 MPH

Do not fly Meadowhawk in weather

Snow, Rain, Fog

NOTE

The values are based standard flight conditions and will be updated upon our D&R

2.7 Range and Endurance Limitations

2.7.1 Flight Battery

Total Capacity

25.2V

Do Not Fly Meadowhawk Battery Below

17V

2.7.2 Command and Control Link

Max. Range

10 km / 6.2 mile

(unobstructed, free of interference)

2.8 Kinds of Operation

As governed by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, sUAS flights are limited to Visual Line-Of-Sight (VLOS) flights, under Day Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions.
