Geofence Suspend Mode
The Geofence Suspend application allows operators to suspend tracking while the aircraft
remains within a set geographical radius. This enables position reports to be supressed
while the aircraft is operating in a localised area, e.g. during crop dusting or Airwork
operations.
Moving outside the geofence perimeter will cause geofence mode to be cancelled and
normal tracking to resume. Whilst within the perimeter, periodic tracking is suspended and
depending on how geofence suspend mode is configured, triggered events, such as take-
offs and landings, can also suspended.
