Transition Altitude ATO (above take-off)
• Set the transition altitude as low as possible (if the surrounding permits).
°
Save energy by reducing the hover duration to a minimum.
At this altitude the UAV will switch from hover mode to xed wing ight.
Direction of the Transition/Retransition
Note: Choose the transition direction based on the surrounding. If possible, set it against the wind direction.
Transition Cone
• The transition is performed within the dened cone.
• If the direction of the UAV does not match the cone  UAV will not enter the transition phase  mission will be aborted.
• Select the angle of the transition cone as wide as possible (if the surrounding permits
Take-off /Landing – Retransition
Retransition Waypoint
During the retransition the UAV will switch from xed wing mode to hover mode. The retransition waypoint is the location at
which the UAV nishes the retransition. At this location the UAV is in hover mode. The retransition track is indicated by the
dashed path and is by default 150 m (492 ft).
• The retransition waypoint should be located close to the home waypoint (take-off and landing location) (ideal < 50 m; max.
100 m). The distance between the two waypoints is covered in high energy demanding hover mode.
• Depending on the wind condition, the real retransition location might not correspond to the retransition waypoint in QBase.
• If there are obstacles within a 50 m (164 ft) radius around the retransition waypoint, make sure that the retransition altitude is
20 m (65.6 ft) higher than the obstacles are.
• Select the Take-Off or the Retransition location on the map or select Take-Off/Landing in the left section in order to set the
waypoint settings.
