STORMBEE will climb to a pre-programmed height, which the pilot should set (5 to 10m) higher than
any obstacle in the vicinity before take-off, and then fly home in a direct line, after which it will land at
a pre-programmed location. This location is usually the location at which STORMBEE has powered up
its motors (take-off location, Home Point) but can also be re-programmed by the pilot during flight.
If the GPS fails, the pilot can still fly STORMBEE in Attitude-mode (ATTI) and should land ASAP.
The DJI Lightbridge 2 has been designed so as to assure that the operator will correctly perform the
operational sequences and that the possibility of human errors is reduced as much as possible.
Switches and buttons have been placed in such a way that unintentional activation is avoided.
The Lightbridge 2 will send out audible and visual alerts in case of problems with STORMBEE or the
communication with it.
DJI GS Pro:
GS Pro is an iPad (series) app designed to control or plan automatic flights for DJI aircraft. Through its
clear, concise interface, complex flight missions can be planned with a few taps. GS Pro will then
automatically take pictures at pre-set waypoints, providing the accuracy required for precision
mapping. GS Pro also allows to modify your flight trajectory/mission in-flight, control your camera, and
receive a live HD view of what that camera sees. Flight information including current status, full
telemetry, location, heading, and more is displayed and updated live, making every flight safe and
convenient.
GS Pro also allows to set a Virtual Fence which increases safety and ease of use by locking the aircraft’s
height and speed within a designated area. Virtual fence defines a specific area of flight and is useful
in scenarios where some areas of a site are no-fly zones or if flight should only happen within one area,
such as during manual pesticide spraying or flight. It is also useful in pilot training situations. As the
aircraft approaches the virtual fence, it will brake and hover to ensure it stays within the flight area.
The app also contains a map of restricted or forbidden flight areas which will prevent the pilot from
taking off within these areas or enter these areas during flight.
8.5 Emergency procedures
8.5.1 Datalink & Radio Control link failure
The failsafe action of the DJI A3 controller, when the communication between transmitter and RPA is
lost (for more than 3 seconds), differs between manual flight and automated flight. If the RPA is flying
automatically by means of GPS waypoints, depending on the GS pro app settings, the RPA will either
perform a RTH manoeuvre immediately or continue its mission. In the latter case, when the
communication is not restored by the end of that automated mission, the RPA will then still switch to
RTH and land. If the RPA is controlled manually at the time of communication loss, the RPA will switch
to RTH failsafe immediately. This entails that STORMBEE will climb to a pilot pre-programmed height,
set higher than any obstacle in the vicinity, and then fly home in a direct line, after which it will land at
a pre-programmed location. This location is usually the location at which STORMBEE has powered up
its motors (take-off location) but can also be re-programmed by the pilot during flight.
1. Verify that the landing area is clear.
2. Try to regain control.
