Brainfarts. Who has them?

Krusty Geeza · Mar 22, 2019

Went into the city early this morning as my partner has a practical for her masters degree today, so I had someone to accompany me in. I wouldn’t have gone otherwise due to anxieties & other challenges that are a part of my CPTSD.

Anyway, I got there & went straight to my area of interest for some aerial captures, did that, packed up the Anafi & moved on to my photography. Caught the train home.

I forgot to grab the aerial panoramas & 360 I wanted! They were actually the main thing I went in for...

Anyone else have brainfarts like this when out with their drone? Or am I just blessed? ?

No you are not alone. Try driving 30 miles and finding out you forgot the SDcard.

Organised a flying session with a friend - got to the flying site - opened up the Anafi case - oops no battery - still on the charger at home

@Agustine & @AaronB thanks for the laughs! I'm feeling better about my moments already.

When I lifted the Anafi out of the case the friend said "gee that's a skinny drone". I was tempted to play him along - but I knew it wasn't going to end well

That could have been so tempting, with the right person!

Take a hint from an old retired pilot with these same issues: CHECKLISTS!!!

Print your own and USE IT!!! EVERY TIME!!

Scribble a flight plan for anything more complicated than routine flights on a post-it note and stick it on the controller.

Now where did I put that darn check list...

Go look in the Anafi Preflight Checklist thread for the one I just created.

Yep happens went flying with my friends and forgot the controller. Nothing like trying to fly from a tablet while everyone is buzzing around you. Checklist sound like good plan if you take time to check it as you pack.
