Planning and simulating a flight
1.4 The mission phase of a flight
The easiest way to create a mapping flight for the systematiccoverageof an area is
to use the automatic mission planning feature of eMotion. By simply positioning a
rectangle around the area you would like to cover, eMotion will generate a mission
plan optimised for the ground resolution that you desire.

Note: For more complex terrain and missions, eMotion has the abil-
ity to set polygonal mission areas of any size and shape, and to au-
tomatically adjust waypoint altitudes based on elevation data. These
powerful features are described in more detail in the eBee Extended
User Manual.
Follow these steps to automatically setup waypoints for a mapping mission:
1. Select the Mission Planning tab from the Sidebar. A grey zone will appear
in the Map Area to designate the mission area to cover. Information such
as size and position is overlaid on the area. A mission plan, including the
required waypoints, is automatically calculated and displayed to preview
the mission plan that will be created.
