1.INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Leptron RDASS. The

Leptron RDASS offers a superior aerial data collection platform.

Leptron provides this manual to support safe, effective, and legal

operations of our small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS). You

Used to indicate a nonmandatory but

preferred method of accomplishment.

MAY:

Used to indicate an acceptable method.

NOTE

CAUTION

WARNING

1.2 Abbreviations and Terms

(AGL) Above

Ground Level

Altitude measured with respect to the

ground surface. This is as opposed to

altitude measured above mean sea

level (MSL).

(ATC) Air Traffic

Control

The ground-based personnel and

equipment concerned with monitoring

and controlling air traffic within a

particular area.

(COA) Certificate of

Waiver or

Authorization

An authorization issued by the Air

Traffic Organization to an operator for a

specific unmanned aircraft activity.

(FOV) Field of

View:

The area in front of a camera or sensor

that can be observed instantaneously.

(FPV) First Person

View

A method used to control a radio-

controlled aircraft looking from the point

of view of an on-board camera.

(FTF) Functional

Test Flight:

A series of flight maneuvers used to

verify functionality controllability of the

aircraft and associated flight equipment

throughout various flight regimes.

(IOC) Intelligent

Orientation

Control:

IOC modes consist of Course Lock (CL)

and Point-of-Interest (POI). CL fixes the

directional orientation of the aircraft in

reference to the aircraft heading during

boot-up. POI adjusts the aircraft

heading to maintain a nose-in

orientation on a recorded point.

(LiPo) Lithium

Polymer:

A rechargeable battery consisting of a

single or multiple cells containing lithium

ion polymer chemistry.

(MTR) Military

Training Route:

Aerial corridors across the United States

in which military aircraft can operate

below 10,000 feet faster than the

maximum safe speed of 250 knots that

all other aircraft are restricted to while

operating below 10,000 feet.

Night

The time between the end of evening

civil twilight and the beginning of

morning civil twilight, as published in the

(NOTAM) Notice to

Airmen:

A written notification issued to pilots

transportable and rapidly deployable.

(TFR) Temporary

Flight Restriction:

An area restricted to flight due to a

hazardous condition, a special event, or

a general warning for the entire

airspace.

(UA) Unmanned

aircraft:

Any aircraft that is operated without the

possibility of direct human intervention

from within or on the aircraft.

(UAS) Unmanned

Aircraft System:

Unmanned aircraft and associated

elements, including communication links

and the components that control the

unmanned aircraft, that are required for

the PIC to operate safely and efficiently

in the national airspace system.

(VLOS) Visual Line

of Sight:

Unaided (corrective lenses and/or

sunglasses excepted) visual contact

between a pilot in command and an

unmanned aircraft sufficient to maintain

safe operational control of the aircraft,

know its location, and be able to scan

the airspace in which it is operating to

see and avoid other air traffic or objects

aloft or on the ground.

(VO) Visual

Observer:

A person acting as a flight crew member

who assists the small UA remote PIC

and the person manipulating the

controls to see and avoid other air traffic

or objects aloft or on the ground.

1.3 Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
