Collision, Crash & Damaged Aircraft

Where a collision or crash occurs, priority shall be given to reduce any further damage or injuries to persons or property. Attempts shall be made to shut down motors via the transmitter as soon as possible, battery power shall be disconnected, and the scene preserved. Public shall be restricted access to the area until deemed safe.

The UAV shall be immediately inspected for potential of a damaged battery to monitor the potential of a battery fire. The UAV should not be flown again until cleared by the Club or State Drone Captain. This may involve seeking professional advice.

The Drone Operator shall immediately notify the Patrol Captain, the State Operations Centre via radio and the Drone Captain.
