First Flight
Select an open area for flying, away from people and buildings, and
remember to bring the Flight Checklist and a fully charged battery.
Determine the boundaries of your flying area before takeoff, and select
a level, unobstructed space as a launch point. Follow these preflight
and postflight steps in the order shown here and on the Flight Checklist
every time you fly.
