PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF USE OF THE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE AGRAS T16
Oleksandr Kholodiuk – Ph.D, Senior Lecturer of the Department of "Operation of a machine-tractor park and technical service" of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (3, Sonychna St., Vinnytsia, 21008, Ukraine, e-mail: holodyk@vsau.vin.ua, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4161-6712).
Scientific and technological progress today allows the widespread use of modern technologies in agriculture in the planning and use of agricultural technologies. Such technologies are the use of unmanned aerial vehicles as well. Now they allow to collect information about the field, make an orthophoto of the field, monitor crops and its condition at different stages of plant development, perform cartography, monitor the normalized vegetation index, spray plant protection products to control pests and diseases or make a trichogram.
The object of research in this article is the process of preparation, adjustment, planning of flight missions and the use of unmanned aerial vehicle AgrasT16 for spraying work sites.
The aim of the research is the effective use of the Agras T16 drone from DJI by substantiating the main measures for the timeliness and correctness of its preparation for work, setting the specified operating parameters, planning missions and calculating its productivity.
The objectives of the work: to analyze the existing research on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine for agricultural purposes; to establish design features of the drone; to find out the basic settings and flight planning; to establish the productivity of the drone on spraying and to substantiate measures and ways of its effective use.
The methods of research include the method of cognitive activity and methods of analysis and synthesis of both information from official sources and information from the works of other researchers.
The scientific work deals with the different design and technical features of the Agras T16 hexacopter from the previous generation models. The practical aspects of its use in spraying, preparation for work, adjustment, selection of the necessary mode of operation, planning of fields and flight missions by means of the remote control and work with the charging station have been substantiated. The main features of different modes of its operation Manual Operation, Manual Plus, A-B Route Operation, Route Operation, which will allow you to solve various tasks have been highlighted. Particular attention has been paid to the methods of field flight planning (routes) of the drone, setting up the spray system, calibration of the compass and nozzles. According to the results of theoretical research, the productivity of the drone per hour of variable time has been established, which amounted to 8.8 ha/h.
The measures to reduce unproductive time spent when spraying Agras T16 work areas have been substantiated.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
