2.10.1.4.7 Flight Plan mode
On this mode the UAV heads one by one different defined points. These points are
numbered starting with number one, when the last point is reached the UAV will start the
flight plan again from the first point.
Each point is defined by its coordinates and by its altitude.
It is better to establish the flight plan before the mission start, but it is possible to edit it
during the flight.
To change these points follow the same procedure described on section 2.9.4 Flight-Plan
2.10.1.4.8 Take-Off mode
On Take-Off mode the UAV starts the take-off maneuver at maximum throttle and
increases the altitude.
The take-off heading is set by the operator on the Runway Heading.
Once the UAV reaches a safe altitude the Computer Operator can change its mode.
Until a valid GPS fix has been established it is not recommended to start the flight.
2.10.1.4.9 Catapult Armed mode
This mode prepares the aircraft for a catapult-driven take-off. Aircraft will try to maintain
wing level and pre-configured pitch angle during launch. This mode will not command
throttle until a pre-configured amount of time has passed with movement being detected.
This allows bungee launching of electric UAVs without harm for propeller damage to the
person launching the plane.
2.10.1.4.10 Net landing mode
Net landing is a special mode, so it may not be available for your Software/autopilot
version.
Commands the autopilot to land using net recovery mode in moving base mode. The
aircraft will cycle through the same stages that for conventional landing: Return, holding
and final, but the final target will the net location as indicated by the moving base antena.
Vertical offset of the target has to be established through the “Gains adjustment” setting
entry (See 2.12.1 Gains adjustment (Optional)).
In case the net threshold is crossed and the vehicle has not stopped, autopilot will execute
ABORT manoeuvre automatically.
This mode may not be available in your software version.
2.10.1.4.11 Abort
Execute pre-programmed net landing approach manoeuvre. Parameters of the manoeuvre
are adjusted using the “Gains adjustment” setting entry (See 2.12.1 Gains adjustment
(Optional)). It may not be available for your version.
2.10.1.4.12 S-FlyTo (Subordinate fly-to)
Equivalent to conventional fly-to, but destination point will be continuously automatically
updated to maintain relative geometry to the moving base. This mode may not be
available in your software version.
Document Version 1.25 50
Default Autopilot version will not end Take-Off phase until
told so by the operator with a mode change.
Automatic end of Take-Off is an optional feature that has to
be enabled by Airelectronics's upon request. Contact us for
information.
