ALTA MOBILE APP
The ALTA App is used to configure ALTA parameters and to monitor ALTA’s status
during flight. To download the ALTA App, search for “Freefly ALTA” in the App Store
or on Google Play™.
Parameters may only be adjusted while ALTA is on the ground and disarmed. In
addition, radio mapping parameters can only be adjusted when the Configuration
Jumper is removed. For more information on radio mapping, see the Radio Mapping
section of this manual.
When making configuration changes with the ALTA App, wait three seconds for the
app to automatically save changes to ALTA before shutting off the app or the mobile
device.
The ALTA App will be actively maintained, and additional functionality may be added
over time. For information on individual app updates, refer to the App release notes.
ADDITIONAL REQUIRED COMPONENTS (NOT INCLUDED)
RADIO CONTROLLER
ALTA supports a variety of radio controllers as outlined in the Flight Controller
Specifications. A minimum of five (5) channels are required, with four (4) used for
flight control, and the remaining one (1) used for mode selection.
However, a radio controller with at least 9 channels is highly recommended to make
use of Velocity and Climb Rate Clamps, Return-To-Home, and Arm Enable functions.
It is recommended to use a radio controller with a three way switch for the Mode,
Home and Arm Enable functions, and a knob or slider input for both the Velocity and
Climb Rate Clamp functions.

Battery packs must be 6S, having a nominal voltage of 22.2 V. When running two

and a peak discharge rating of 400 amps or greater. When running a single pack, the
pack must have a continuous discharge rating of 300 amps or greater, and a peak
discharge rating of 600 amps or greater. For additional information on expected
