Executing a flight
2.3 The setup phase of a flight
The setup phase of a flight includes the waypoints and actions related to the take-
off and landing of the eBee and includes the following locations:
• Take-off location: The point from which the drone is launched, automat-
ically set to the location calculated from GPS signals by the drone when
it is launched. This location defines the altitude of 0 m/ATO (ATO stands
for above take-off); the altitudes of all other waypoints, when defined in
m/ATO, are referenced to the altitude of this location.
• Start waypoint: Thefirst point that the drone flies towards when launched
(once it reaches the take-off transition altitude).
• Home waypoint: The safe point for the drone to circle in case of emer-
gency, as well as its landing position at the end of a flight for both Linear
and Circular landings.
