The document discusses mission planning for drone operations. It covers setting goals and choosing means to achieve goals, studying the site, setting flight altitude, arranging batteries and refills, placing ground control points to map areas accurately, evaluating terrain and getting local information, launching and operating the drone according to the flight plan, and procedures in case of failure or lost contact. Mission planning considers key points like formulation needs, flight paths, permissions, and preliminary weather assessment.

Planning
• Planning is the process of setting goals and choosing the means to achieve
those goals
• This activity is done before taking action
Mission planning
• Mission planning is an activity that applies to any situation during drone
operation to achieve the objective

The following mission planning key points be considered for every mission:
• Study and inspect (look for obstructions and interference) the site
• Know the area required to be sprayed
• Required formulation ( Qty, quality and dilution)
• Picking the right flight altitude (understand crop life cycle)
• Arrange required number of charged battery for the mission
• Anticipate refills (Formulation) and replacements (Battery)
• Setting ground control points
• Create your flight paths
• Review the required public and government notices
• Carry first aid and safety gadget

5. Ver 1 5
• Define the scope of the project
• Assess the resources required (cost, labor and time)
• Terrain definition (Check for VLOS)
• Identify the crop to be sprayed
• Formulation type, quality, quantity and dilution
• Identify the spraying area
• Evaluate the legal constraints, obtain permission

6. Ver 1 6
• Identify the zone (Green, red, Yellow)
• Preliminary weather assessment (climate, season, forecasts)
• Mission area assessment
• Planning geometric parameters
• Placing Ground Control Points (GCP)
• Creating flight plan (Software based)

Ground control points
7
• Ground control points (GCPs) are points on the ground with known coordinates
• GCPs precisely pinpoint known coordinates to map accurately large areas

8. Ver 1
Placing Ground Control Points
8
• A minimum of five (05) GCPs are recommended
• When topography of the area is more, use more GCPs
• Then GCPs are distributed evenly in the area
• Do not place the GCPs exactly at the edge of the area.

9. Ver 1 9
• Terrain check : high obstacle in the take-off mission, landing and alternative landing
location
• Enquire from the locals about ground activities

10. Ver 1 10
• Remote pilot should launch, operate and recover from preset locations to fly
according to the mission plan
• After the drone is launched, flight crew should have a clear view at all times that is
Visual Line of Sight (VLOS)
• To ensure the flight is going according to the flight plan, there should be effective
communication within the team
• In case of any failure or loss of visual contact with drone during the flight operation:
 Remote pilot should command the drone back to recovery location (RTL)
• Always use check list , don't rely on memory.
