FAQ
-
What is a tethered drone?A tethered drone is connected to a ground station with tether cable that provides power. Unlike a conventional drone that has a limited flight time, a tethered drone has a persistant power source that can provide hours of continous flight time.
-
What are the drones that are compatible with the LIFELINE?The LIFELINE is currently compatible with the Inspire 1, DJI Phantom 4 series, the Mavic 2 & 3 series. If you plan to use a different drone, please send us an email with your drone specs, and we will be happy to advise you.
-
Is there low battery warning on for the LIFELINE?Yes there is! Upon reaching a pre-defined threshold, the Onboard Battery Monitoring System automatically triggers a battery alarm. Upon hearing the alarm, the operator has up to 3 minutes of additional flight time (Phantom 4) to execute a safe landing.
-
What is the maximum wind speed that the drone can operate?This will depend on the drone type and payload attached. Do check with DJI and/or your drone manufacturer on the performance threshold. Typically, we do not recommend operating in wind speeds above 8 m/s.
-
Can the drone reach 60M with a 60 meter tether?We do not recommend flying at 60m because the cable pull will stress the tether unnecessary.
-
Is a tethered drone subjected to drone regulations?This will depends on the country you operate in. In some countries, a tethered drone is not classified as a drone because it is physically secured to an anchor point and it cannot fly freely. In other countries, the tethered drone is subjected to regulations similar but less restrictive than a conventional UAV. In Singapore, the LIFELINE-S is approved by the Civil Aviation Authorities of Singapore (CAAS). Please refer to the civil aviation laws of your country for compliance with the local regulations.
