Preparing for Field Testing
Field testing is expensive per hour, so most of the preparation is about not wasting the hours you have.
Overview
- Charge everything the night before and verify it, rather than discovering it at the site.
- Bring a written test card: which test, what counts as a pass, what to record.
- Have a plan B for the weather and a plan C for access.
- Assign one person to record data and nothing else; the team that is also flying will not record it reliably.
