2.1 Proof of Flight Readiness Video

Teams must submit a proof of flight video covering their flight readiness prior to the competition. This video will be reviewed to determine whether teams and their aircraft are eligible to fly at competition. If teams are deemed ineligible to fly, their aircraft will not be permitted to fly at competition. Teams who are ineligible to fly are still invited to send representatives to attend the competition. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis during the window defined in Competition Schedule and Timeline, with Flight Order being determined by order of successfully qualified submission.

2.1.1 Deliverable Requirements

The submitted video presentation must meet the following requirements:

• Video must be conducted in English or include subtitles in English.

• Video must be no more than ten (10) minutes in length.

• Video must include school/organization and team name at the beginning.

• Video must include all required content, outlined in the next section.

• Videos must be hosted by team. Teams have the choice of hosting on YouTube, Vimeo, or on their Team Website. The video must follow YouTube Rules & Policies, including appropriate music copyright management.

2.1.2 Introduction

This section must include a visual and verbal identification of the School and Team name. Visuals of the entire development team and competition team must also be shown (no verbal identification of team members is required).

2.1.3 Safety, Risks, and Mitigations

This section should describe the potential safety risks and the steps taken to mitigate them. It should include risks during the development process and during the mission.

2.1.4 Manual Proof of Flight

This section must show manual flight of the UAS with the following characteristics. This section must be repeated for each instance of the aircraft (e.g. primary and backup), and every Safety Pilot that may be used at competition. The video must be formatted as shown and include the following elements:

1. Manual Takeoff to Above 50ft AGL

2. Manual Flight to/from Point > 1000ft from Safety Pilot

3. Manual Landing

2.1.5 Autonomous Proof of Flight

This section must show autonomous flight of the UAS with the following characteristics. This section must be repeated for each instance of the aircraft (e.g. primary and backup), and every Safety Pilot that may be used at competition. The video must be formatted as shown and include the following elements:

1. Manual/Autonomous Takeoff to Above 50ft AGL

2. Transition to Autonomous Mode with Autonomous Flight Showing...

   1. Flight of 3+ Miles at Full Loaded Weight in a Single Flight

   2. Fly Waypoints with a Max Error of 50'

   3. Turn Radius of <= 150' w/ Ability to Meet Maximum Angle of Climb/Descent of 20 Degrees
