SAFETY PROCEDURES
After rechecking the Risk Assessment, confirmed by both XD4 and VERACEL Team, the flights started. The scope began with Elios 1 recognition flights, assuring operational safety for the team, the equipment, and the assets, mitigating every possible risk.
It was necessary to partially dismantle the external protection structure of the RPA, so that it could be inserted in the column through a very narrow entrance and reassemble it, once inside. This maneuver was developed as a quick and safe solution for situations like this.
After each flight, the team checked and confirmed the POIs (Points of Interest) reached, that were supposed to be inspected, regarding the scope. The Inspection Plan was redesigned according to the discoveries made during the operation, to optimize time, maintaining quality and safety. Our Operators and Inspector Engineer accomplished the mission following high safety procedures, collecting a large amount of Full HD and thermal images.
