Automated Flight

Automated Flight Overview for Anzu Raptor

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Air Control has a new update! The Anzu Raptor now has automated flight capabilities from within the Air Control app. This includes orthomosaic, oblique, and waypoint routes.


To get started in the app, you'll find Automated Flight Plans in the main menu of Air Control. You can create plans from there as well as import KMZ files to kick off a flight plan. The files are currently limited to plans previously created by the Air Control app, and does not support generic KMLs or flight imports from other platforms.


Once you're connected to the drone on the in-flight screen, you'll see the automated flight plan widget where you can select the desired plan, load it onto the drone, and launch.


Here is a brief video that details the process:

Notes:

  • Ortho plans are able to resume based on where the drone left off. This should work whether you pause the flight manually, or if RTH kicks in (manually or automatically). Obliques contain 5 different segments, so the drone may restart the entire segment over on Resume. These can be broken up into multiple Ortho flights (with different altitudes and camera angles, etc.) if flying large area Obliques.

  • When swapping batteries, leave the remote controller on to preserve the flight progress. Simply power off the drone, swap batteries, power back on, and then tap the Play button on the automated flight widget to reload the mission. It should then ask you whether you want to Start Over or Resume when you tap Play again. Also, make sure the drone has enough time to boot up and acquire GPS before launching the automated flight.
