U-See User Manual - Pre-Flight Menu

While in edit mode, it is possible to hand edit the

landing site coordinates, set the landing site to the

current aircraft position and it is also possible to

select a landing site coordinates by map interaction.

When clicking in “Pick from Map” all dialogs will hide

leaving only map view and a left click on the map will

select those coordinates as landing site. Upon click on

the map, the landing site icon should be displayed on

the clicked position to confirm selection. If not, a click

on set will resend the selected coordinates to the

autopilot.

It is important to understand that buttons “Current

coord.” and “Pick from Map” only affects landing site

coordinates, this is, landing site altitude won't be

changed by these buttons and the user must set both

elevation and heading values to appropiate values.

Elevation can be adjusted to current value by clicking “Current” button by the input field or

by writing a value by hand. Current button only affects the landing site elevation

Heading of the landing site can be manually introduced or measured from map through

use of “2Point Pick” button. Click in this button will hide all windows except the map display

and two consecutive left clicks on the map will indicate landing field orientation.

At the bottom of the dialog, above the get and set button a check-box allows to change

the direction the autopilot executes the landing hold orbit. Note that this only affects fixed

wing aircrafts.

At the bottom of the window the usual get and set buttons will put current autopilot values

into the dialog (Get button) or send the current values to the autopilot(Set button)
