Proof of Work
Flight Footage
Raw field recordings demonstrating system behavior under real conditions.
System Logs
Telemetry data and blackbox analysis from test flights.
Test Methodology
Documented procedures for repeatable verification.
Principles
Safety lives in the system
Failsafes, geofence, EKF degradation handling — not operator heroics.
Human factors first
Pilot stress management, minimal first-flight OSD, cognitive load awareness.
Non-intrusive adoption
Respect maintainers, don't disturb upstream, work within ecosystems.
Open tools for learning
ESP32 tabletop telemetry, well-documented builds, accessible knowledge.
Privacy by design
No faces or names, no sensitive operational details, minimal exposure.
Repeatability over theater
A demo is not a test. Document what can be reproduced.
Respect maintainers. Human factors first. Verify, don't assume.
