Drone exam · Operational procedures

The visual observer has worked with the pilot many times, so the pilot skips the briefing at a new construction site. What information could still be missed?

Answer

The observer still needs the day's route, airspace concerns, crane and vehicle hazards, expected aircraft traffic, communication words, lost link actions, alternate landing areas, and conditions that require an immediate stop.

Explanation

Experience with the pilot does not create knowledge of a new site. The briefing should focus on what is different today and what each crew member must do about it.
