Last updated 7 months ago

If the aircraft is landed and has a mission loaded, you'll be prompted to start the mission as soon as there is a successful connection.

Use the hold to confirm button to start the mission.

The aircraft will arm, takeoff and start the mission without the need of the operator's interference!

Pause and Continue Mission

Pause a mission by selecting the Pause button on the toolbar and then using the slider on the confirmation prompt. The altitude at which the vehicle should wait when paused may be set using the vertical slider on the right hand side of the screen.

Go to Location in Mission

A mission may be paused to then have a manually selected target destination in one step. Simply select the target location on the map to a Go here item, and then use the slider to confirm the operation.

The mission can be continued/restarted at any point using the fly toolbar Action button followed by the Continue Mission prompt.

Set the Current Waypoint

Any waypoint can be selected on the map to take aircraft to that location once the prompt acknowledgment is complete. The selected waypoint will then change color.

Changing the current waypoint does not change the vehicle mission execution state. If it is paused it will still be paused, if it is running it will continue to run (but with a new current waypoint).

You can on the map and using the telemetry instrumentation provided.
