Aircraft Technical Specifications for Operations Manual

[sendandreturn]

Hi guys,

First time post and thank you to the admin/moderators for hosting it

To work commercially next year I need to submit an operations manual here in the UK and I wondered if you can help me fill in the gaps for the below. I have tried to fill in as much as I can and I don't know if it's mandatory to fill it all in. I have coloured the parts in red that I would be really grateful for help in.

Thank you

Thanks for this however I really need all the bits in red please. I have emailed 3DR as well

Most of the stuff in red is not even applicable to the Solo. It doesn't have telemetry on a seperate band. You'd choose your own GCS, either the Solo App, Tower or both. GPS serial number doesn't make any sense having, I don't even recall seeing individual serial numbers on the ublox and I've got one in front of me now.
