The message panel in Swift GCS displays warnings and notifications from the GCS and autopilot. A new warning will
automatically expand the message panel if it was collapsed.
Takeoff - Ready?
Double check the wind direction and velocity. Do not takeoff if the wind speed exceeds the Lynx VTOL system limitation of 10 m/s.
Ensure that the aircraft is pointing into the wind. The takeoff area should be clear of bystanders and obstacles. Notify everyone
participating in the flight that the aircraft is about to takeoff.
Aircraft - Takeoff
This step arms the aircraft and then immediately commands a takeoff. Lynx VTOL will spin the VTOL motors and climb vertically to
your takeoff altitude, by default 30 meters. During the ascent, Lynx VTOL will try point its nose into the wind, or weathervane , to
assist the takeoff. Upon reaching your takeoff altitude, the aircraft will transition to forward flight and climb enroute to the next item in
your mission.
