To plan a Quick Takeoff, the DeltaQuad Evo must be connected to the GCS.
Position the vehicle at the desired takeoff location.
Ensure the nose of the vehicle is pointed into the wind.
In the Fly View, click on the Takeoff command.
An Octagon is positioned around the vehicle, divided into 8 red sectors called Pizza Slices.
The first step is to assign the sectors where the vehicle can loiter, transition, and land. This is done by clicking on the relevant sectors. These sectors must be free of obstacles, and since the vehicle should take off and transition into the wind, sectors behind the vehicle should be selected. The vehicle will place the Loiter Down Orbit within the dedicated green area
Grab the vertex at the top of the octagon and move it around for more granular control.
The vehicle places the Loiter Down Orbit within the dedicated Approach Zones (green) so the vehicle can transition and land into the wind. If this is not possible, the vehicle will choose a Loiter Down Orbit as close as possible to this direction, given the limitations of the selected sectors.
Set the altitude for the Back Transition using the Altitude Slider on the right side of the screen. The Altitude Frame is HGT, Height (Heights are referenced to the takeoff location).
The minimum Back Transition/Landing Altitude to which the vehicle descends must be set at least 25 meters above the highest obstacles in the landing area. For example, if the tallest tree in the landing area is 10 meters high, the Landing Altitude must be set to at least 35 meters.
When using the Quick Takeoff, only the Orbit Land Pattern is available as a landing option. A Straight Land Pattern is not available.
Hold to Confirm the settings for the Land Approaches.
