Drone landed in a puddle, mud or long grass?
< Atpakaļ uz sarakstu
Not every drone flight goes smoothly and without issues, but what should you do if the drone crashes or has a rough landing in a puddle, mud, or tall grass?
In such cases, you should immediately clean the drone, including partially disassembling it to access and clean deeper areas.
Immediately remove the battery
Start by immediately removing the battery and drying it in a warm environment to prevent damage. It is important to note that you should not attempt to clean the ventilation openings and motors by blowing air with a compressor while they are still wet. Blowing air into the openings can force water deeper into the drone where the electronics are located. Likewise, blowing air into the motors can force water into the bearings.
Drone cleaning must be done by partially or fully disassembling the drone
Drone cleaning should be performed by partially or fully disassembling the drone, depending on how dirty it is. While disassembling the drone, simultaneously inspect the components for any visible water damage, such as oxidation on contact surfaces. Check that the motors spin freely and without any unusual noises. When inspecting the gimbal, ensure that movement is free and unobstructed along all axes, without any unnecessary sounds.
Replace damaged components if necessary
During the inspection, if any damage is visible, it is recommended to replace the affected component, as it may impact the safety of future flights. Once cleaning and inspection are complete, reassemble the drone and calibrate the sensors. Finally, conduct a test flight in a safe environment to ensure it does not pose a risk to others.
