The quick vehicle menu provides operators with an easy way to access the pre-flight checks, vehicle overview with critical notifications, safety settings, cloud features, and other functionalities. The Active Task sub-page also offers insights into Skynode's onboard computer running tasks. This provides valuable visibility during operations. For example, users can monitor the synchronization status of their imagery to the Auterion Suite.

Vehicle Overview page

  • Notifications: provides in-flight information for pilots. A more detailed log is uploaded to Auterion Suite for analysis.

  • Sensors: sensor calibration and status

  • Remote ID: Remote ID status information

  • Connectivity: LTE and Wifi status information
