This section explains the top bar indicators in AMC.
At the top of the screen, the top bar displays various items that convey information and offer additional options when clicked.
The following is a list of all icons and indicators along with their functionalities.
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
At the bottom of AMC´s top bar, you will find a bar that represents the remaining flight time of the vehicle. This same bar also visualizes the RTL point, indicating where the vehicle will perform an autonomous Return to Launch due to a Battery Failsafe.
The calculation of the remaining flight time is dynamic and changes based on weather conditions, the mission area, and flight characteristics. The farther the vehicle is from its intended landing location, the sooner the autonomous Return to Launch (RTL) will be triggered.
