• Always plan missions with sufficient distance from obstacles and people. There
will always be positioning errors of your UAV due to GPS drift and external
influences like wind. In addition, the map file may not be absolutely accurate.
• In windy conditions, the UAV may not always fly in a straight line between two
waypoints. Plan the mission accordingly.
• Always plan missions with enough height above ground. The UAV may
temporarily lose as much as 5 meters of height when flying between waypoints
(due to variations in barometric air pressure - drift in sensor values). Due to
these variations, it is recommended to plan missions at a height of at least 15
meters above the highest object.
