VIEWING A MISSION ON THE ST16S
To view the current mission while the H520 is flying, return to the DataPilot™ home screen by tapping the
Y icon. Tap the map rectangle in the lower left corner to switch to the map view. The map view shows the
planned mission with the current location of the H520 overlaid on a map. The Pilot can follow and track the
status of the mission in this view, as well as see camera indicators where images are being captured.
To switch back to the camera view, tap on the rectangle on the lower left corner. This view displays the live
video feed from the camera and enables the Pilot to observe the surroundings from the perspective of the
camera.
INTERRUPTING A MISSION
To interrupt a mission in progress, move any of the control sticks on the ST16S, this will give the Pilot
immediate control of the H520.
To auto-return to the home/launch position, flip the switch S4 on the ST16S from Angle flight mode (middle
position) to RTL mode (bottom position). Return to home may also be executed by selecting the RTL mode
from the mode menu in the top center. Select manual mode (top position of S4) if manual control of the
aircraft is preferred. During the mission, gimbal settings may be adjusted at any time via the gimbal control
switches and dials on the ST16S.
If an RTL is triggered during a leg (between two waypoints), the default resume mission action will re-start
from the current waypoint and not the destination waypoint. If the Pilot wants to resume from the next
waypoint or another waypoint, he must specifically select that waypoint.
PAUSING A MISSION
The Pilot may want to pause a mission to avoid obstacles or regain his bearings. To pause a mission, tap on
the Pause button in the Fly panel. This will cause the H520 to hover and maintain its position. This feature
is useful when needing to stop for an incoming aircraft or when dealing with a distraction.
RESUMING A MISSION
To resume an interrupted mission, slide the ‘Resume Mission’ slider on the bottom of the DataPilot™ home
screen. If the slider is not present or if the dialog box has been closed, tap the Action button on the Fly menu
and select ‘Resume Mission’.
The first ‘Resume Mission’ confirmation rebuilds and uploads the updated mission plan to the aircraft. If
the upload times out due to an error, the Pilot can swipe to try the upload again. Once the new mission is
successfully uploaded, the user must confirm another ‘Resume Mission’ dialog to takeoff and re-
start/resume the mission.
Note:
The
aircraft
must acquire a GPS lock before it can resume a mission.
If the user swipes
the second ‘Resume Mission’ confirmation without GPS ready, the system will display
a "Unable to start mission: Aircraft not ready" error. In this scenario, the ‘Resume
Mission’ dialog will be hidden. To resume the mission, tap on the Action button and
select ‘Start Mission’. Because the new mission has already been uploaded to the
aircraft
‘Start Mission’ will resume the correct mission.
