Before executing a mission, the following conditions must be met:

  5. All flights must begin with a fully charged battery.

  6. The operator and any observers must maintain a safe distance from the vehicle, with a minimum of 10 meters recommended.

Before attempting the first flight, the operator must be thoroughly familiar with Auterion Mission Control (AMC). Be sure to review the chapter Auterion Mission Control (AMC) Overview, and memorize the location and functionality of all indicators, commands, and important settings.

The following items must be known and understood:

  • AMC Modes (Normal, Advanced)

  • AMC Top Bar's indicators

  • Emergency Actions

  • Mode button and indicator

  • Vehicle Status indicator

  • AMC Menu (including all tabs)

  • Remaining Flight Time indicator

  • Fly Tools, Flight Tools, Map Tools

  • Telemetry Dashboard

Using the DeltaQuad Evo simulator provided in the Auterion Suite can assist with this process. For more information on how to use the simulator, please read here.

An internet connection is needed for AMC to access the necessary map and elevation data. When operating in offline mode, map and elevation data can be downloaded beforehand through the AMC Menu -> Settings -> Offline Maps.
