HEADING ALIGNMENT MANEUVER
The heading alignment maneuver needs to be done after takeoff, before flying the mission, and
after the mission prior to landing for each flight. This maneuver is critical for getting accurate
heading corrections for the IMU and will impact the results of the data if not performed.
1.
Before takeoff, identify a safe direction to perform the heading alignment maneuver. Avoid
areas with people, bodies of water, and obstacles.
2.
After takeoff, once at mission altitude, let the drone hover in place for 2 seconds.
3.
Push the right stick all the way forward quickly and hold for 6 seconds. The drone will quickly
accelerate to over 12m/s as indicated in the app. Be sure this maneuver is performed in a
straight line and not an “S” or curved pattern.
4.
After 6 seconds of forward flight release the stick and leave it centered. The drone will quickly
stop.
5.
Wait 2 seconds, then on the left stick turn the aircraft about 10 degrees and wait one second.
6.
Pull the right stick all the way back quickly and hold for 6 seconds. The drone will quickly
accelerate to over 12m/s as indicated in the app.
7.
After 6 seconds of backward flight release the stick and leave it centered. The drone will
quickly stop. Wait at least 2 seconds after it stops before starting the mission.
8.
Fly the mission you have planned.
9.
At the end of the mission allow the drone to return to home, but do not let it descend, a final
heading alignment maneuver needs to be done.
10.
To take back control over the drone manually flip the switch from P mode to F and then back
into P mode.
11.
Repeat the heading alignment maneuver (steps 3-7)
12.
Let the drone stop and hover for 2 seconds before continuing to land. You can land in manual
mode or use the automatic return to home.
13.
Once the sensor is within 25 meters of the home point, data recording will stop, and data
transfer will begin. The SYS LED will begin flashing yellow and should be flashing yellow when
the aircraft lands.
