DJI Agras T100 Tutorials: Orchard Operations Safety and Fruit Tree Precautions ( FAA Part 137 Guide)

Описание: DJI Agras T100 Tutorials: Orchard Operations Safety and Fruit Tree Precautions (FAA Part 137 Guide)

Operating the DJI Agras T100 inside orchards requires a higher standard of safety, precision, and regulatory awareness compared to open-field row crops. This tutorial walks you through the essential safety procedures, flight precautions, canopy-aware navigation, and FAA Part 137 compliance steps required to safely operate the T100 around fruit trees such as citrus, almonds, apples, grapes, peaches, pecans, macadamia, avocados, and specialty orchard crops.

If you currently operate or plan to operate a DJI Agras T100 in orchard environments across the United States, this guide provides the full safety blueprint needed to fly legally, efficiently, and responsibly.

🍊 What This Video Covers (Full Orchard Safety Workflow)

This tutorial goes step-by-step through:
• Safe entry procedures when flying the T100 into tree-dense orchard blocks
• How to evaluate canopy height, spacing, and density before flight
• How to use T100 phased-array radar and terrain-following in orchards
• How to avoid downdraft turbulence, canopy entanglement, and tree-line drift
• How to structure a safe pre-flight inspection for fruit-tree operations
• FAA Part 137 safety rules for pesticide spraying in orchards
• Worker Protection Standard (WPS) considerations
• How to prepare a safe perimeter around the orchard
• How to handle wind shifts, microclimates, and variable terrain
• Safe mission planning for orchards with slopes, terraces, or uneven blocks

This video is relevant to farmers and contractors in major U.S. orchard regions including California, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Washington, Oregon, North Carolina, South Carolina, and any region with high-density fruit-tree agriculture.

📡 FAA Part 137 Orchard Safety Requirements Explained

Under FAA Part 137, orchard spraying requires strict adherence to:
• Pilot certification
• Aircraft registration and maintenance
• Safety planning and risk assessments
• Worker and bystander protection
• Avoiding drift near livestock, water sources, and residences
• Accurate application height and swath control
• Logging spray activity and mission files

In this video, you will learn:
• Best practices for safe T100 spraying around workers, equipment, and farm infrastructure
• How orchard mapping improves Part 137 safety
• How to implement safe “escape routes” when canopy obstacles appear
• How to maintain safe flight when trees vary in height or density
• Why drift mitigation is more important in orchards than open fields

🌳 Fruit Tree Precautions You Must Follow

This tutorial breaks down critical precautions for:

Citrus

Dense canopies can cause unpredictable turbulence—maintain higher-than-normal altitude margins.

Almonds & Pistachios

Row spacing varies significantly; use slower entry speeds and verify terrain follow accuracy.

Grapes & Vineyards

Trellises and wires pose entanglement risks—use wide, controlled turns and pre-scan row ends.

Pecans & Walnuts

Tall canopy height requires careful altitude management and conservative drift buffers.

Avocados & Stone Fruit

Irregular tree shapes demand manual oversight and constant radar monitoring.

Every orchard crop brings a unique airflow signature; this guide ensures the T100 remains stable and predictable in each environment.
