Planning and simulating a flight
• You can operate the eBee RTK without RTK corrections. In this standalone
mode you can still expect a higher level of absolute coordinate accuracy
than a senseFly drone equipped with a standard GPS antenna. See section
‘Onboard GNSS/RTK receiver’ on page 187 for details.
Note: If you select one of the modes that requires a real or virtual
base station, and a connection to that base station is unavailable, a
take-off veto will be displayed in
eMotion and the status LED on your
drone will start pulsing blue. Section ‘Take-off vetoes’ on page 161
describes the possible messages and the user action that should be
taken to remove them.
1.3 Creating a new flight plan
Every mapping flight requires a flight plan, which is a path defined by a set of
waypoints, or points in 3D space, and a set of actions that can be performed at or
in between waypoints, such as taking images, proceeding to the next waypoint
or landing. A flight plan is shown in the Map Area using circles to represent way-
points, lines to represent the flight path and arrows to show the direction of flight.
The large circle with a thick border illustrates the working area boundaries within
which the
eBee RTK will always remain. See section ‘Waypoints and their prop-
erties’ on page 72 for more information on waypoints and the various symbols
presented in the Map Area.
A complete flight plan for an eBee RTK is divided into two separate phases: the
setup phase and the mission phase. The mission phase includes waypoints and
actions related to mapping and capturing images. The setup phase includes way-
points and actions related to take-off and landing. This phase is usually planned
directly in the field and is explained in detail in section ‘The setup phase of a flight’
on page 50.
