I have a Spark arriving next week. I have never flown a drone before. I have been searching around the interwebs for a beginner pilot checklist for a DJI Spark. I have seen them before for other flying thingys. Does anyone have anything like this?
1. Things to do before first launch
2. Steps for a successful first flight including safety checks.
3. Beginner maneuvers
4. Intermediate maneuvers
5. Advanced maneuvers
Thanks!
 
If IOS (iPhone or iPad)
Don't start dji app
Airplane mode on
Spark Battery fully charged
Turn spark on
Turn RC on
Wait for green light on RC
Connect phone otg cable to RC
When you get accessory not supported message open dji go
Check for any error message
Wait for green GPS on message
Manually update home point for app menu
Turn motors on
Wait a couple of seconds
Take off and hover
If all good.... have fun!

Is this good to go for a complete new beginer? Who has not flown a proper drone

look at some youtube vids.

Most critical when you first receive Spark is to find an open grassy field. Do compass calibration. Do this only once unless asked by the app.
If you are going to practice, start in an open field free trees and distractions such as dogs, kids and annoying adults.
