Package Reception Checklist

To ensure a smooth start with your new equipment, it’s important to carefully inspect your delivery as soon as it arrives. Here are a few key steps to follow:

1. Verify the number of parcels: Some orders may be shipped in multiple boxes. Check the delivery documents provided by the shipping company to see how many parcels you should expect. Packages may not always arrive on the same day, so it’s important to be aware of the total number.

2. Inspect the packaging: Take a moment to look over the general condition of each box. If any package appears damaged, it’s important to document it immediately and inform the delivery service or our support team. Additionally, please check beneath the carton protection to verify the condition of the wooden transport case.

3. Check the contents: Open the boxes and compare the items received with your purchase order to make sure nothing is missing. The purchase order serves as a reference for everything that was included in your shipment.

In addition of the aircraft, you could check the content of additional payload and accessories

By following these steps, you help ensure that any issues can be identified and resolved quickly.

We offer some training on the Faro Connect software. If you purchased the Survey payload, and you did not already receive the access for the training. Please contact [email protected] and indicate your name, your company, and your country. The training team will send you a link for the online training.

For volumetric calculation, we recommend the use of the Leica Cyclone software, or for a free option, you can also use CloudCompare.

This video show how to do stock volumetry calculation with CloudCompare.

At Flyability, we’ve worked to simplify your experience by minimizing the number of accounts you need to manage.

Your initial login will give you access to key services, including drone activation, the Inspector software, cloud connectivity, and the training simulator, all through a single account.

Please note, however, the access to the Flyability Academy requires a separate account, as it operates on a different platform.

Steps to Activate Your Drone

• Turn on the tablet included with the drone and connect it to a Wi-Fi network.

• Connect the USB-C cable between the tablet and the remote control.

• Turn on the remote control.

• Open the Cockpit application on the tablet.

• Insert a fully charged battery into the drone and power it on.

• Wait for the Cockpit app to connect to the drone.

• A pop-up window will appear in the app prompting you to register the drone.

Click Register and follow the steps to create your account.

Keep your credential as you will need them after the installation of Inspector and for the simulator.

Perform fast and accurate radiation surveys of indoor spaces with the Elios 3 RAD Payload, powered by Mirion Technologies. It provides in-flight and post-flight radiation readings, localization, and reporting, plus a detachable sensor for easy swapping with existing units.

In this video, you will see how to mount the RAD sensors and how to use it. The last part of the video covers the limitation of the Rad sensor.

Inspector is software that evolves quickly. So we made these 4 videos to help you locate the different functions of the software.

Ressource

Over the years, a wide range of resources has been created to help new customers learn how to use their drone effectively and get the most out of it.

These resources cover various formats and topics, including:

One of the standout features of the Elios 3 is its modular payload system, which allows it to be equipped with different payloads and accessories depending on the mission requirements.

Step 4: Activate Your Warranty

To activate your warranty, you must pass the exam in the training simulator, even if you've completed in-person training.

The simulator comes pre-installed on your drone’s tablet. To access it, you’ll need:

• The tablet

Steps to download and install Inspector:

• Open your internet browser and go on

• Click on Download Inspector

• In your Download folder, install the file called Inspector.setup

To start using the simulator, you need a Wi-Fi connection, the remote control of the drone, and the tablet. Then simply follow the instruction to complete your training.

With the Flammable Gas Sensor mounted on the Elios 3, operators can reliably detect +14 fl ammable gases (including hydrogen), reducing risks during confi ned-space inspections. Factory-calibrated and equipped with built-in self-testing, the Flammable Gas Sensor requires no fi eld calibration, ensuring continuous, fail-safe operations in even the harshest industrial environments.

In environments such as underground galleries, stacks, or mines, signal propagation can be limited by the geometry of the place to inspect, and remotely operating a robot becomes difficult. By placing the remote controller antennas in a better location, closer to the drone, it is possible to extend the range of the drone. The Range Extender is an optional accessory that connects to Elios 3 ground control station, providing an extended signal reach for beyond line-of-sight operation.

This video will explain all the good practices and limitation of the Range extender.

Additional Training Resources

In addition to the mandatory training on the simulator, we offer other resources to help you get the most out of your equipment.

One of the key resources is the . Please note that this platform requires a separate login, as it operates in a different environment from the simulator.

In the Flyability Academy, you’ll find:

Cockpit is the official Flyability application used to pilot and monitor the Elios 3 drone. It provides pilots with a live video feed, flight telemetry, and access to essential settings and mission data. Through the Cockpit app, users can control flight modes, monitor system status, record flight data, and perform firmware updates for both the drone and its components.

This training video explains how to use the Cockpit app and its main features.

The Surveying Payload turns the Elios 3 into a fl ying mobile scanner that can fi t through openings as small as 50x50 cm, and create high-resolution scans beyond line of sight, to provide rapid insights that are not accessible with traditional tools or other UAV technologies. The high-resolution Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7 LiDAR sensor in combination with the world’s leading FARO Connect SLAM algorithm creates incredibly accurate 3D maps and digital twins of the most inaccessible spaces with centimeter precision.

Developed in partnership with Cygnus Instrument, the UT Payload turns the Elios 3 into a fl ying UT gauge that can capture accurate A-scans in the most challenging areas. Equipped with the Elios 3 UT, industry professionals can perform regular integrity inspections in minutes - reducing the probability of unplanned downtimes.
