4. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the direct trajectory between UAV, and the
new start point.
5. Tap on the play button.
The mission will be continued from the waypoint that was selected as the new start
point.
3.4. AUTOMATED START-UP CHECKS
Approximately 15 seconds after switching on the UAV a triple beep from the autopilot
electronics signalizes the end of the initialization phase.
During the initialization, the system performs an automated start-up check:
• Sensors are checked for functionality.
• Sensor data is checked for plausibility.
• All three flight controller units are checked.
• The “Black Box” (flight logger) SD card is checked.
• The current magnetic field is compared with the expected magnetic field.
Irregularities that might affect the flight behavior are reported by a corresponding error
notification on the Status Display (for detailed descriptions of possible error messages,
see “WARNINGS” on page 119). In case of an error, please try to start the system again
at a different location. If the error persists, please contact your local support
representative.
3.4.1. Magnetic Field Warning
In flight, the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV uses algorithms to detect possible disturbances of
the compass sensors. If there are discrepancies between the magnetometer output and
the expected orientation, the UAV's heading is estimated using the other available IMU
(Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors. This technology enhances the robustness of the
UAV against external disturbances of the magnetic field.
