Pit & Quarry, October 2017

responsible for building and developing Kennecott Utah Coppers drone procedures and policies We have over 1000 flights this year alone We have a robust maintenance program and a robust training program for pilots to go through Avoiding drone crashes is really dependent on a maintenance program Carey says After so many hours we do maintenance on it including different checks he adds We do scheduled maintenance Drones come in whether they went out or not We prep them for the days mission get them into an area for the geotechs surveyors and get the drones back out We have a really good system for feedback as those individuals will tell us what the drones were doing Rio Tinto even tests drones in an isolated area before putting them back Industry experts say more aggregate producers are internalizing drone flights into commission Thats a really practical thing Carey says It takes a little bit of effort but I think it pays off in the long run Carey also advises drone users to be wary of service updates Weve seen some issues arise from those he says There are bugs that can cause issues So chief drone pilot Matt Key is the only one who does firmware updates and updates to the app A drone flying out of the sky is a real possibility Michael Singer the founder and CEO of DroneView Technologies has experienced this He experienced one dropping out of the sky from about 200 ft he says It was a motor failure it crashed and burned he says The battery exploded We also had another fixed wing not come back to home So be mindful that drones have single points of failure Singer says Our goal is a zero failure rate in the field in operations but we dont always control all of those variables he says Consider too that drone pilots might have to abruptly end an ongoing flight
