A complex operation involves flying, camera work, and watching for traffic. How does CRM suggest handling these demands?

• A.Assign distinct tasks to crew members so no one person is saturated, with the remote PIC free to focus on flight safety
• B.Have the remote PIC do all tasks to avoid coordination problems
• C.Rotate tasks randomly every few minutes so everyone stays interested

Why

Matching tasks to people keeps individual workload manageable and lets the remote PIC protect flight safety. One person trying to do everything is a common path to fixation and missed hazards.

• During a flyaway, the aircraft stops responding to control inputs and continues away from the operating area. What should the remote PIC do first?
• Why must lost-link and return-to-home settings be confirmed before takeoff rather than after a link failure occurs?
• If GPS positioning is lost in flight and the aircraft reverts to an attitude-style mode without position holding, what change should the remote PIC expect?
• A low-battery warning appears while the aircraft is still over the work area with useful pictures left to take. What is the correct response?
• A removed lithium battery begins smoking and catches fire on the ground. What is a sound immediate response?
