VI. Floor mode
VI.I Floor
Floor Mode offers a lot of additional operational capacities as it transforms your UAV into a rover with a
jumping option. This mode will allow pilots of any experience level to cover large areas with minimal crash
risks and increased flight time.
Floor Mode is commonly used to fly under objects like beds and cars, or to move in a confined environment
with little to no space above the UAV (false ceilings, small pipes, etc.)
VI.II Access During flight
You can enter Floor Mode at any time by pressing the appropriate allocated button (J2) or via the Command
Action Menu. The UAV will start to descend until it reaches the floor, and “Floor” will appear on your GCS.
You can exit the mode at any time with the same button or via Command Action, and the UAV will automa-
tically regain altitude.
It is strongly advised to hover after exiting Floor Mode to reset the gyroscopes estimated values. Please
remember to reach the 50cm threshold before attempting to enter hovering.
VI.III Access From Takeoff
You can also takeoff (and land) in Floor Mode, which allows for a low altitude takeoff if doing so from under
objects or close to a ceiling. Activate the mode before takeoff by pressing the appropriate allocated button
or via Command Action Menu and then perform a standard takeoff.
V. Flat Trim
The Flat Trim will reset the UAV’s gyroscope flat value. It is advised to use a Flat Trim before first use, or
after big impacts to reset the gyroscope.
If you observe completely erratic UAV movements, or a constant strong drifting, it is usually helpful for the
UAV to undergo a Flat Trim.
CAUTION: THE FLAT TRIM CAN ONLY BE DONE WHEN THE UAV IS LAYING PERFECTLY FLAT AND NOT MOVING.
ONLY USE THIS FUNCTION WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR UAV IN SIGHT OR ARE 100% SURE THAT IT IS PERFECTLY
FLAT AS THE NEW RECORDED VALUE WILL BE USED AS THE HORIZONTAL ABSOLUTE REFERENCE.
