• Q&A 4
OCWR’S FIRST DRONE
• First small
Unmanned Aircraft
System (sUAS)
purchased by
OCWR was initially
intended for bird
abatement
• Quickly evolved to
being used for
recon to give
landfill staff a
current aerial view
of a project site5
UPGRADES IN DRONE TECHNOLOGY
• Improved battery technology increasing flighttimes
• Camera Upgrades
• Radar Positioning & Return Home
• Gyro Stabilization, IMU And Flight Controllers
• Drone Motor Direction And Propeller Design
• Onscreen Real-Time Flight Parameters
• No Fly Zone Drone Technology
• Receive alerts and warning on controller
• GPS Ready To Fly Mode Drone Technology
• Internal Compass & Failsafe Function
• Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) RemoteControl System
• These are only few innovations among many that have changed the drone industry

Part 107 Operating Rules
• Unmanned aircraft must weigh less than 55 pounds, including
payload, at takeoff
• Fly in Class G airspace*
• Keep the unmanned aircraft within visual line-of-sight*
• Fly at or below 400 feet*
• Fly during daylight or civil twilight*
• Fly at or under 100 mph*• Yield right of way to manned aircraft*• Do not fly directly over people* (The
term "over" refers to the flight of the
small unmanned aircraft directly over any part of a person.)

*These rules are subject to waiver.
FAA REMOTE PILOT TEST
• The FAA Remote Pilot Knowledge Test consist of a computer base multiple choice test
• Must be renewed every 2 years
• Test covers 12 separate topics relating to droneflight
1. Applicable Regulations2. Airspace Classification, Operating
Requirements, and Flight Restrictions3. Aviation Weather Sources and Effects of
Weather on Small Unmanned Aircraft Performance
4. Small Unmanned Aircraft Loading5. Emergency Procedures

FAA REMOTE PILOT TEST
Drone topics continued:
6. Crew Resource Management
7. Radio Communication Procedures
8. Determining the Performance of Small Unmanned Aircraft
9. Physiological Factors (Including Drugs andAlcohol) Affecting Pilot Performance
10.Aeronautical Decision-Making and Judgment
11.Airport Operations
12.Maintenance and Preflight InspectionProcedures

OCWR DRONE
• OC Waste & Recycling Purchased a DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drone for its new program
• Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 advantages:
• superior battery life for over drone on the market
• Obstacle avoidance sensors
• Camera Resolution (4K camera included)
• Reduced operating noise
• Average flight time with the Pix4D Capture app is approximately 25 minutes
10
PIX4D SOFTWARE/APP
• Pix4D software is intuitive and easy to use
• Pix4D outputs:
• 3D Point Cloud
• Digital Surface &
Terrain Models
• Orthomosiac
• Volume Calculation
• Contour Lines
• 3D Textured Model
• Thermography

OCWR DRONE EXPERIENCES/RESULTS
Operations
• Safely monitor areas
inaccessible by foot or
smaller vehicles
• Ability to track cover
usage and obtain real-
time construction
quantities• Perform aerial surveys and imaging in-house
• Reduced turn-around time
• Increased accuracy
• Enhance bid walks with aerial overview photos and videos

QUESTIONS
20
• How much is the license? Does it expire? Are there
education requirements?
• How do you deal with no-fly over zones? We’ve heard of
waivers, are they hard to apply for?
• Are you using drones to do annual fly overs and would
your regulator (LEA) need a particular program or
computer capacity to view such files?
• What are the different ways you have used drones?
• Have you come across any operational or legal issues
that you didn’t anticipate that you can share, i.e. lesson
learn with using new technology?
