Limitations
What is the wind gust limitation for the Ghost X?
25 mph/ 21.72 kts
If the aircraft enters emergency RTB and there is a Keep Out Zone in the most direct route to the Return Home location, what will the aircraft do?
Fly through the Keep Out Zone.
With a headwind.
What is the minimum clearance area required for the LZ when launching the aircraft?
10 m
How many feet does the aircraft climb once the raise command is clicked?
200 ft.
What is the maximum duration of the Ghost X? (Payload, conditions and flight profile dependent)
80 minutes.
More than 15
When conducting the CG, what is the recommendation of how many fingers to use for lifting the aircraft?
4 fingers, two each side
How much time will elapse before the aircraft automatically enters RTB?
More than 30 seconds.
What altitude does the aircraft descend to once you click the lower button?
164 ft.
What is the optimal cruise speed of the Ghost X?
15 m/s
What will happen if the aircraft’s Keep in Zone is within 10m of the LZ?
The aircraft will not launch.
Why should you spread out the tail blades during emplacement?
The force exerted during power on and arming WILL damage the tail servos, resulting in potential servo failure and aircraft loss.
If the aircraft has been touched while conducting its IMU calibration, what will happen?
Hardware Lockout for 30 seconds.
Using the ”Pause” option when the aircraft is hovering below 10 mo F, what will the aircraft do?
Ascend and hover at 10m
What is the maximum speed of the Ghost X?
17.5 m/s
How big of a boundary does each Keep in Zone and Keep Out Zone receive automatically?
Both a 5m and a 20m boundary.
*Note the software won’t let you fly beyond 5m of the boundary.
If the Ghost fails to hardware arm and the third LED remains solid red, what could that be indicative of?
Servo Failure
*Do not attempt to power cycle to remove servo failure, QUARANTINE THE ACFT AND CONTACT YOUR ANDURIL REP
*Scenario* We’re flying @ 2400 ft IVO Evans Airfield, with a keep in zone of 2500 ft. I accidentally click the raise option. How will the aircraft respond?
Aircraft will climb to 2600 ft regardless because raise command overrides the keep in zone.
What commands can you give the aircraft once it enters, critical low battery RTB flight mode?
Pause.
What is the maximum operating altitude of the Ghost X?
12,000 ft AGL or 10,000 ft MSL
When charging batteries, when is the only time “CHARGE MAX“ should be used?
Only when connected to shore power.
After the aircraft is powered on, how long should you not move or touch the ghost? Why not?
10 seconds To ensure proper IMU calibration.
If a pilot pauses the RTB, what will the aircraft do and for how long?
Hover until there isn’t enough battery to keep the aircraft airborne.
Once motor kill is selected initially, what happens to the aircraft?
Two step authentication to ensure it wasn’t accidental.
