6. Application—Cockpit
6.1 Overview and setup & upgrade
Cockpit is the official Flyability application used to pilot the ELIOS 1, ELIOS 2, and ELIOS 3. Cockpit v3.0 and
upwards are only compatible with ELIOS 3 and with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 LTE tablet running Android 12.
Cockpit comes preinstalled on the tablet you purchased with the ELIOS 3.
Cockpit’s primary use is to serve as a way to view the live video feed and the 3D Live Map from the aircraft,
enabling FPV flights. In addition, a dashboard with useful flight and camera telemetry is shown to the pilot.
