ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Strictly confidential
1.2 General Guidelines
The pilot MUST be Flyability Certified Elios 2 Pilot and, if required by laws, with other drone pilot licenses or any
other certification necessary to pilot Elios 2.
A damaged propeller may break, and pieces of broken blade can become dangerous projectiles and reduce the
aircraft reliability. Replace the propeller if it is broken, cracked, bent, or damaged in any way. Operator and sur-
rounding personnel MUST wear safety glasses.
Debris can be ejected at high velocity from the aircraft propulsion. Operator and surrounding personnel MUST
wear safety glasses.
The pilot should always act accordingly to his or her best judgment, focusing on the safety of the people and the
environment he or she is flying in. The pilot MUST brief every personnel attending or surrounding the flight about
safety. While piloting, the pilot should not move as it may cause him to slip, trip or fall causing personal injuries.
DO NOT fly over or near people, moving vehicles. Always give way to other aircrafts. Watch out for low flying
helicopters.
Operating the Elios 2 system can be stressing, tiring and prone to muscular fatigue. The controller is equipped
with a hook. Use the provided controller strap to relieve your muscles. It will also avoid you to lose, drop, or
damage the ground control station.
During a flight, parts of the aircraft can become very hot. Wait 3 minutes after disarming for it to cool down and
access the battery. If time is constraint, you may use protective gloves to change the battery during the cooling
period.
Using the LED pulsing on Elios 2 can be tiring and stressful for the pilot and surrounding personnel. It can trigger
a seizure on person with epilepsy.
Front module contains magnet that can disrupt the proper functioning of medical devices or disturbing certain
electronic devices in a near field.
DO NOT use Elios 2 under influence of alcohol, drugs or any substances that may impair cognitive abilities.
A risk assessment MUST be performed before every flight.
The pilot MUST always go through the checklists before, during and after each flight.
Elios 2, like any remotely piloted aircraft system, must be operated per the laws of the country it is used in. It is
the sole responsibility of the pilot to be informed of the applicable restrictions. If you are flying in a public envi-
ronment or around people, make sure to respect the rules of flight in line of sight.
Use only provided Flyability parts, genuine Flyability parts, or parts certified by Flyability. Using other devices or
parts combination with Elios 2 (e.g. batteries, propellers, etc.) or performing unauthorized modifications may
result in system malfunctioning and/or compromise safety.
It is strongly recommended to avoid any operation inside the aircraft’s cage when the battery is plugged in, except
turning off the aircraft (unplugging the battery).
DO NOT wear jewelry, loose clothing or long hair when operating Elios 2 or being in its vicinity.
Under no circumstances, objects, fingers or any other body parts may enter inside the aircraft’s protective cage
while it is armed (when the propellers are spinning). It may result in serious injuries for the person and damage
the aircraft.
DO NOT perform the arming sequence or arm the aircraft (make propellers spin) before and during the removal
or insertion of the battery or if objects, fingers or any other body parts are inside the protective cage.
When the propellers are spinning, the aircraft must not be touched. If not applicable, make sure the aircraft is
stable, touch only the aircraft’s protective cage with your hands wide open and your fingers straight to prevent
any of them from entering the cage. You must wear protective gloves to touch the aircraft if the propellers are
spinning.
Propellers have sharp edges; protective gloves MUST be worn while changing a propeller.
If the aircraft is unresponsive due to malfunction, make the disarming sequence and DO NOT try put your hand
or fingers into the cage during 1h after the incident. Wear protective gloves to disconnect the battery.
After a strong crash (more than 1m free fall), do not touch the aircraft as it may explode or catch fire. If the
aircraft is in an enclosed place, or near to an explosive or flammable environment, you may carefully place it in a
