8.12 Step 12 – Choose the take-off position
wind
• It is always recommended to take-off from the UAV transportation box as it
provides a flat surface.
• If your take-off / landing position is in a dusty area, please cover the ground with a
canvas cover. Please use weights to fix the canvas cover to the ground.
• Please do not land the UAV on the transportation box as it may fall off.
• To ensure the highest level of safety it is recommended to take off from the highest point of
the flight area.
Please always consider the wind direction and wind speed when choosing the take-off position.
Do not take off in a wind sheltered area (lee) as turbulences may occur.
Please always check the wind not only at the take-off position but also in the immediate surrounding.
Because the correct take-off position will be transferred to QBase right before the start of the mission, the chosen take-off posi-
tion does not have to match the home waypoint that was defined in QBase before.
If there is an obstacle in transition direction (defined as the transition cone in QBase) make sure the transition
altitude is at least 20 meters (65.6 ft) higher than the obstacle.
If possible choose the transition direction against the wind direction.
