U-See User Manual - Command Menu
In this mode is possible for the Computer Operator to set the commanded orbiting radius,
the commanded speed and the commanded altitude. To define new values of altitude,
speed or radius it is required to write the new value on the corresponding box and then
click Set button.
2.10.1.4.4 Orbiting mode
At this flight mode the UAV orbits a the current position, it will use the current point as
orbiting point.
In this mode is possible for the Computer Operator to set the commanded orbiting radius,
the commanded speed and the commanded altitude. To define new values of altitude,
speed or radius it is required to write the new value on the corresponding box and then
click Set button.
If the computer operator click with the right button on the map, the UAV will orbit around
the point he has clicked. If it turned out that this new point is too far away, the system will
change its mode into Fly to mode, and again, will switch into Orbiting mode when close
enough.
2.10.1.4.5 Landing mode
The UAV changes its mode to landing in three cases:
– The Computer Operator clicks on Landing Button.
– The Preflight Bingo Time is reached.
– There is a Communication failure between the U-Ground and U-Pilot.
It is mandatory to properly set the Runway checking its altitude and Heading before
taking-off. In case of a communication failure the UAV will automatically go to this point.
The landing path is automatically recalculated with all the parameters set to the UAV
requirements, the user do not have to worry about it.
Landing path has 4 stages. The UAV will go through this sequence automatically:
– Return. The UAV flys towards the hold center point, designated “L” on map. Related
to the runway this point is located backward to the right.
– Hold. The UAV starts an orbiting mode where adapts its velocity and altitude to
start the final landing part. The UAV will turn this path as many times as necessary
until it is ready to start the Final path. This turn is done by default clockwise, but
turn direction can be adjusted through the advanced runway menu (see 2.9.3
Advanced Runway (Optional))
– Final. When the UAV trajectory reaches the tangent direction to the Runway the
UAV checks the speed and altitude and if they are correct it will start the final
landing part. It will start decreasing its altitude until it is over the threshold of the
runway
– Flare. Once the Runway threshold is reached, the UAV will carefully rotate to pitch
up and it will cut down the throttle, in this controlled position it will touch the
ground.
2.10.1.4.6 Roulette mode
On Roulette mode the UAV roll is controlled by the External Pilot with a roulette on the top
right of the Futaba Joystick.
The U-Pilot still controls the altitude and speed. The Computer Operator can command a
new altitude or speed.
