Flight Mode Switch
1. Once you have created your mission &
Uploaded it to your Field Hawk. Take your
Field Hawk to the location you wish to fly. For
the most accurate data it is best to fly between
the hours of 10am and 2pm. Also make sure
right before you fly to see if there aren’t any
clouds that are covering the sun or about to
cover the sun. A Flight with sun being partially
blocked or where the sunlight is blocked then
unblocked will give inaccurate data, and will
require a reflight.
2. Insert and plug the Battery pack into the Field Hawk
and place the Field Hawk on the Ground at least 30 ft
from metal objects like buildings and Vehicles.
