Week 6

In week 6, I was able to inventory the rest of the batteries for the DJI M600. The flight teams have been created based on what day/time they were able to fly, with the exception of Krysta. She has a revolving work schedule, meaning she sometimes works different days of the week. After looking at the times for our class to fly, there may need to be some changes. Most days a group of 3 or more can only be together for 1 hour. This is unreasonable because just getting the equipment and ground control station setup can take an hour. Those who are able to fly the most will be on the Bramor airframe. This is due to the complexity of the preflight checklist. I want to keep a flight crew specially for the bramor. This airframe is very costly and cannot afford small mistakes. One way of working everyone into the Bramor team is to switch out one of the team members on it. So if the team were to have 3 people. Person 1 & 2 would always be on the team but person 3 would be switched out with the other members. This would ensure everyone would have the chance to gain familiarity with it without significantly increasing the chance of an incident. There is still the issue of people simply not having the time to be able to fly, but that will have to be discussed in more depth. Since the weather is still unflyable we have been tasked with creating posters for the SATT poster symposium. In my group is Kyle and Thomas. Our poster idea revolves around flight crew and crew resource management (CRM). For our poster we will talk about how CRM is utilized in UAS operations, this is a key role for these type of operations. We have not been able to discuss the poster more throughly, but we will be working on it solely next week.
