l
Monitor the pitch and roll of the rover using the artificial horizon.
l
Monitor the software for in-flight warnings and errors such as loss of GPS lock and loss of
communication link. For more information on these warnings and the appropriate action to take, see
Failsafes during flight, page 87
and

Dealing with sudden weather changes during flight
On the day of the flight, check that the current weather conditions are suitable for flight.
Note –
Pay particular attention to the prevailing wind direction and speed. If the wind direction changes
during the flight, change the landing heading in flight or select an alternative landing location, if it is more
suited. See
Changing the landing properties during flight, page 86
.
Land the rover as quickly as possible if one of the following weather phenomena occurs during the flight:
l
Strong wind
l
Heavy rain, hail
l
Hurricane, tornado, or any kind of whirlwind
l
Thunder and lightening
l
Snow
Changing the landing properties during flight
If conditions change during the flight, it may be advisable to alter the landing parameters set in the flight
plan while the rover is still in flight.
Note –
Once you confirm the landing, you cannot change the landing parameters.
To change the landing parameters during flight:
1. Select the
Flights
tab. The
Flights
tab shows the landing properties for the flight.
2. Depending on the situation, do one of the following:
l
If the wind direction has changed and the landing clearances are not jeopardized, rotate the
landing heading of the current landing accordingly.
l
If there is a sudden obstacle in the clearance zone of the current landing and you have defined an
alternative landing location that is clear from obstacles, tap the landing pin on the map or select
the radio button beside the landing location in the list to use this location. Adapt the landing
heading according to the actual wind direction.
For more information, see
.
Note –
For the current and any alternative landing setup, it is possible to change any other
parameters. However, this requires more effort and time which you may not have. Make sure that if
you change the landing location, the location is GPS fixed.
3. Tap to
accept the changes.
4. Select the
Dashboard
tab
to return to the monitoring screen.
