Using your eBee X
based on its estimate of the wind direction. If your approach sectors only allow a
downwind landing, eMotion will raise a Warning¹¹ at the moment the drone cal-
culates its landing trajectory (Step 3).
You can rotate and resize approach sectors in eMotion, confining them to zones
that are completely clear of obstacles. You can also add additional approach sec-
tors. These approach sectors will be used by the drone to plan its landing path
while taking into account the wind. Defining multiple possible approach sectors
can increase the chance that the drone selects a favourable landing against the
direction of the wind.
The eBee X’s ground sensor can typically begin detecting ground proximity at a
distance of 60 m (197 ft).
If, during a Linear landing, the drone reaches an estimate altitude of 20 m/ATO
(66 ft/ATO) – as estimated using the on-board GNSS receiver and pressure sensor
– without a signal from its ground sensor, it assumes there is a malfunction with
the ground sensor. This can be caused by fog, dirt on the sensor’s lens assembly
or a landing spot at a different altitude than the Take-off spot.
If this happens, the drone performs the braking and stall manoeuvre at an altitude
of 20 m (66 ft) instead of 3 m (10 ft). This increased time while stalled can greatly
reduce the accuracy of the final landing position and may cause damage to the
drone.
