Safety Parameter
WingtraPilot features a couple of safety parameter to ensure safe operation through out the entire operation. The parameter give you the possibility to influence the
automatically triggered RTH scenarios described in Return to Home
The safety parameter are accessible on the top right during mission planning via the drop down menue below the Flight Plan information.
Before starting excuting a flight plan one can adjust the parameter. Keep in mind the following considerations:
Geofence radius around Home
Defines the maximum allowable distance from Home in the particular mission.
Prevents a fly-away of the WingtraOne beyond this distance.
Per default the maximum radius is set to 1200m before each take-off, which corresponds to the visual line of sight
Increasing it to more than 3000m low battery RTH may not function properly and the drone may not return to home. Plan your mission with care. You may void
your warranty.
Geofence altitude above Home
Defines the maximum allowable altitude above Home in the particular mission.
Prevents a fly-away of the WingtraOne beyond this altitude.
Per default the maximum altitude is set to 400m before each take-off.
Minimum RTH altitude above Home
Defines the minimum altitude on which WingtraOne returns to home in a RTH.
If current altitude is lower than the defined Minimum RTH altitude WingtraOne will climb to the set value in a loiter circle and only then fly the direct path to Home.
Per default Minimum RTH altitude above Home is set to 60m before each take-off.
Adapt Minimum RTH altitude to the mission requirements in particular in difficult terrain and when using Ground elevation offsets.
Connection loss timeout
Defines time span from which WingtraOne will execute an RTH after losing both RC and telemetery connections
Note: Since no telemetry connection is available, you will not receive feedback on the state of WingtraOne
Per default Connection loss timeout is set to 10s before each take-off.
Adapt Connection loss timeout to your mission requirements. For flights beyond visual line of sight and with obstacles in the direct line of sight increasing the
timeout might be required to ensure WingtraOne follows and completes the defined Flight Plan.
Caution: Without RC or telemetry connection you have no means of interacting with your WingtraOne. Ensure compliance with your local law. Wingtra AG
denies any liability arising from wrong mission planning or RTH manuvers triggered by connection losses of telemetry and RC.
