Monitoring the Mission

This section explains how to effectively monitor a mission.

Throughout the mission, both the telemetry data and the vehicle should be closely monitored. While this task can be performed by a single operator, it is recommended to have both an operator and an observer. The observer should continuously watch the vehicle and its surroundings, alerting the operator to any issues or nearby traffic.

  • The Telemetry Dashboard provides relevant information about altitude, speed, distance, flight time, heading, wind direction, and wind speed.

  • The remaining flight time at the top of the screen should be monitored closely, as this indicator is dynamic and adjusts based on various factors, such as weather conditions and flying style.

  • The Fly View displays important warnings in a highly visible popup. These notifications inform you of unexpected behavior and issues. Whenever possible, the notification will also indicate the cause of the problem and any necessary actions you should take unless they are obvious.

Less important messages, as well as any missed warnings, are logged and can be viewed in Vehicle Overview -> Notifications.
