Note: The ground sensor height indicates the height above the
ground detected by the ground sensor. The sensor can typically de-
tect distances below 60 m, depending on available light and surface
contrast.

• Instruments: This display mimics the classical primary flight display used
in manned aircraft. The column on the left displays the current air speed of
the eBee as well as the desired air speed, in metres per second. The column
on the right displays the drone’s current altitude over take-off location, as
well as the desired altitude over the take-off location, in metres. The bar at
the top displays the current heading of the drone³⁵. North is indicated as

• Identification: This displays the serial number of your eBee and the num-
ber of the Drone Flight log for the current flight. This number can be used
as a reference when importing flight data after a flight³⁶.
• Payload information: This section displays the payload currently selected
and the number of photos that has been taken since take-off³⁷.
