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

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

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

2.6 Weather Limitations

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

2.7.2 Command and Control Link

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.
