# Planning a mission

The DeltaQuad EVO has been designed to fly autonomously, this is achieved by planning and executing missions. Missions are set through the Ground Control Station. They can be created and sent to the vehicle directly, loaded from an existing mission plan, or saved to a mission plan. This section covers the basics of planning a mission for the DeltaQuad EVO. 

The operator can plan a takeoff and landing from the Fly View by selecting sectors that are free of obstacles at the approach altitude.

The DeltaQuad will take off and transition to aerodynamic mode into a set direction and orbit until new commands are given.&#x20;

How to take off and land using Fly View will be discussed thoroughly in a later section of this manual.

{% hint style="info" %}
In certain situations where launch and landing sites pose significant restrictions and obstacles, utilizing the Takeoff and Approach functionalities in Fly View becomes impractical. In such instances, it is advisable to employ the Plan View for comprehensive mission planning.
