Command Aux Surfaces

U-pilot has its own algorithms to control the flaps and spoilers during the take-off and

landing. There is also a U-Pilot available configuration in witch flaps are controlled

manually by the operator, in that case the flaps must be controlled using the Command

Aux Surfaces window on Command → Command Aux Surfaces. On that windows there are

tree possible flap positions to be chosen by the operator at any time.

From this window, the user can also handle airbrakes adjusting its position or leave them

in automatic for the autopilot to control.

Selecting any other position than “Auto Airbrake” will force the airbrakes to remain in that

position and autopilot won't change its position under any circumstance. Under normal

operating conditions, airbrakes should remain in automatic position.

2.10.5

Engine management

Engine management window offers the possibility to inhibit the engine of the UAV. While

being active, this option ensures that the autopilot (which is constantly controlling the

engine) does not start the engine.

The inhibit feature is intended to be used while UAV is on ground, in the pre-flight phase,

while checking everything is correct. This option should be deactivated before flight

begins.

Activating or deactivating the inhibit option is dangerous

while in flight phase, therefore this option must NOT be

used once UAV is flying.
