2.9.4.1 Flightplan Editor Window. Display Mode
The flight-plan editor window has three well
separated zones:
• Header of the window: Gives general
information about the current flight-
plan.
◦ Total Distance: On-Ground distance
the UAV will have traveled after
completing one flight-plan loop
(From point one to the last enabled
point and back to one)
◦ Minimum Ground Clearance:
Minimum ground clearance at the
way-points
18
• Body of the window: Current way-points
location in coordinates and altitude.
• Footer of window:
◦ Add a new point at the end of flight-
plan
◦ Save to a file current flight-plan
Every row in the body of the window represents one way-point. Besides its coordinates,
three buttons are available for every row:
• Get Button: This will query the autopilot for the current values for the way-point.
This is usually not required, as autopilot reports sequentially the current state of the
way-points automatically.
• Delete Button: This button will delete the selected point and all the following way-
points from the flight-plan
• Edit Button: This will put the row in edit
mode, changing the way the right click
behaves in the map and allowing
changes in the way-point data.
2.9.4.2 Flight-plan editor: Edit mode
When in edit mode, the looks and behavior of
the flight-plan editor will change:
Notice how all the rows except the one
corresponding point 3 in figure 42 are grayed
out, with their buttons disabled.
Also note that the coordinates and altitude
field in the row for point id 3 are now editable
fields.
Also, while in edit mode, all the windows in the
program but the flight-plan editor will hide to
allow clear view of the map. Right button click
18 Note that less ground separation could be found in-between points.
