The inspection will be carried out and a detailed report provided on the condition of the fire door, its integrity, any certification it has, comments on the installation, condition and compliance of the door itself and of any ironmongery fitted to it.

The service provider is to carry out a further fire door inspection to every private flat entrance door and secondary means of escape that opens onto the communal area and escape route.The controller also has an out-of-range alarm and an emergency stop function that halts the drone dead in its tracks by stopping all four propellers. Provide Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and all appropriate certification associated with The Works undertaken.

Conversely, I greatly enjoyed the 1-touch takeoff and landing button and stuck to the sticks – as a lifelong gamer, twin-stick controls feel much more natural than a touchscreen. Ryan is a longtime drone aficionado with several years of experience in building his own quadcopters, and he would provide a critical counterpoint to my “two left thumbs” style of piloting. The service provider is to carry out fire doorset works to all communal doors as set out in the fire door schedule of works located within Appendix 2.

But there’s a far more important issue that often gets glossed over – how the copter deals with situations where things go wrong. Ryan pointed out that this was actually a fairly unique feature – the most high-end drone he owns indicates low battery with lights blinking on the drone, which is invisible in the daytime and often hard to make out even at night. Altair claims that the drone has 8-10 minutes of flight time, which is pretty standard for a lightweight toy-sized vehicle of this type. Note - All replacement doorsets to be replaced with purpose made, pre-assembled FD30s or, if specified, FD60s rated doorsets, independently tested and approved by third-party certification to BS476 parts 22 and 31. Right out of the box (pre-crashing), Ryan noticed that the drone had a tendency to pull to the right, even in an almost-windless humid August afternoon.
