EXAMPLE 3S OUTDOOR COURSE

Starting a race

R1.

At the beginning of each Race, the Drone must be placed so that it is fully within the boundary of the Launch

Pad and so that no part of the Drone is touching the ground surrounding the Launch Pad

R2.

Once the Drone is correctly positioned and the Pilot and Spotter are in the Pilots Box, the Race will be started

with the following procedure

a. The Event Oﬃ cial signals it is safe to Arm the Drone with the command "Arm your drone"

b. After a short pause, the start of the race is signalled by a sound such as an air-horn or monosyllable

voice command such as "Go" given by the Event Oﬃ cial

R3.

In the event of a false start, the Event Oﬃ cials will allow one restart. A second false start will result in the team

forfeiting that run. Teams will not be permitted to change batteries before a restart.

Flight Occurances

R4.

In the event that the Pilot misses a Gate or ﬂ ag during a run, they permitted to ﬂ y back and attempt to pass

through it correctly before continuing to the next Gate. Failure to pass through all Gates in the correct order will

mean that the time for that lap is not valid.

R5.

If the Pilot crashes during the course of a run, they may try to get back in the air and continue the attempt if

they are in a position to do so.

R6.

If the Pilot is not able to get back in the air, the Drone should be Disarmed and the attempt will be terminated

R7.

If the Event Oﬃ cials determine that the Drone has sustained damage that makes it unsafe, the Pilot will be

instructed to land and the attempt will be terminated

Completion of a Race

R8.

After successfully completing an attempt, Pilots must land within the conﬁ nes of the Live Area, Disarm their

Drone and await instruction from an Event Oﬃ cial before retrieving the Drone

The example course shown is typical

of the type of layout used at Airgineers

competitions. The exact layout will be

determined by the event organisers but

will usually consist of 4 or 5 Gates and

a number of turn ﬂ ags.

Pilots start the Race from the Launch Pad

and join the course before completing the

required number of laps
