Flight Modes
Mode
|
Brief Description
|
|
---|---|---|
MANUAL
|
The operator pilot has full control over the platform.
|
|
TAKE-OFF
|
The autopilot will execute the takeoff maneuver to make the platform go from the ground to flying in the air.
|
|
AUTO
|
AUTO mode executes the programmed Flight Plan (FP) based on waypoints.
|
|
NAV-TO
|
The autopilot flies to the specified coordinates, maintaining current altitude and airspeed.
|
|
LOITER
|
The autopilot will follow a circular pattern around the location where LOITER mode is engaged.
|
|
HOVER |
The autopilot flies to the specified coordinates, maintaining current altitude and airspeed. Once arrived, the platform stops at the desired position.
|
|
EMERGENCY | For Rotary Wing Platforms only. EMERGENCY mode may not be commanded directly by the operator and is the result of a failure in Magnetometer and/or GPS while being in any other operation mode. | |
SAFE
|
The autopilot will command the aircraft to fly to a previously set Safety Altitude. Once achieved, it will automatically switch to LAND mode.
|
|
DIRECTED
|
The autopilot maintains current IAS, altitude and heading.
|
|
LAND
|
The autopilot executes the land maneuver, from its current flight mode to a predefined and even relative landing site.
|
|
ASSISTED MANUAL
|
The operator is able to over-command directly from the joystick/gamepad.
|
As a leading company in the autopilot market, UAV Navigation knows the market and the clients’ needs so offers more flexibility when selecting an autopilot. The company provides a range of autopilot options to evaluate the features and pricing costs. Although UAV Navigation provides different autopilot alternatives, the way they are used is the same. Once you learn to use one of the autopilots, you will be able to use them all. This is achieved through the use of the same Ground Control Station software, Visionair, with an easy and user-friendly interface that helps the user to update, configure, and execute previously planned missions.
