{% hint style="danger" %}
Please read the following text carefully, as it contains crucial instructions for safely and successfully operating the DeltaQuad Evo, including essential emergency procedures.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before executing a mission, the following conditions must be met:

1. The mission must be planned in accordance with the guidelines outlined in [**Planning a Mission**.](/tac/flight/planning-a-mission.md)
2. If applicable, the Quick Takeoff must be planned following the guidelines provided in [**Quick Takeoff**](/tac/flight/quick-takeoff.md).
3. The [**Pre-flight Checks**](/tac/flight/pre-flight-checks.md) must have been performed and passed.
4. The vehicle should be positioned with its nose pointing into the wind.
5. All flights must begin with a fully charged battery.
6. The operator and any observers must maintain a safe distance from the vehicle, with a minimum of **10 meters** recommended.
   {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Before attempting the first flight, the operator must be thoroughly familiar with **Auterion Mission Control (AMC)**. Be sure to review the chapter [**Auterion Mission Control (AMC) Overview**](/tac/flight/auterion-mission-control-amc-overview.md), and memorize the location and functionality of all **indicators**, **commands**, and important **settings**.

The following items must be known and understood:

* AMC Modes (Normal, Advanced)
* AMC Top Bar's indicators
* Emergency Actions
* Mode button and indicator
* Vehicle Status indicator
* AMC Menu (including all tabs)
* Remaining Flight Time indicator
* Fly Tools, Flight Tools, Map Tools
* Telemetry Dashboard

Using the **DeltaQuad Evo simulator** provided in the Auterion Suite can assist with this process. For more information on how to use the simulator, please read [here](/tac/auterion-suite/using-the-deltaquad-evo-simulator.md).

An internet connection is needed for AMC to access the necessary map and elevation data. When operating in offline mode, map and elevation data can be downloaded beforehand through the **AMC Menu -> Settings ->** [**Offline Maps**](/tac/flight/auterion-mission-control-amc-overview/amc-menu/settings.md#offline-maps).
