Set Altitude
Standard operating altitude: 100 m
Operating altitude range: 80-120 m
Increasing altitude decreases flight time, allowing you to cover more area
per minute. Decreasing altitude improves ground resolution. Set the alti-
tude to get the best ground resolution while keeping the flight time under
40 min and the altitude under 120 m.
Keep altitude below 120 m, and ensure that the altitude is appropriate for
your flying area and local regulations.
Check Flight Time
Flight Time estimates the duration of the mission. The total estimated flight
time must be under 40 min for a fully charged Aero battery. To decrease
flight time, increase altitude or speed.
High winds, humidity, high altitude, and extreme heat can affect power
consumption and reduce flight time. Consider the environmental factors at
your site when configuring flight time.
Check Ground Resolution
Ground Resolution is the centimeters per pixel that you will have
in the map and corresponds to the amount of detail that you
will see.
To improve ground resolution by decreasing the number of
centimeters per pixel, decrease altitude.
Configure Survey: Set Altitude
Mission Planner Survey tool
The survey altitude determines the duration of the mission and the ground
resolution of the final map. Adjust altitude to balance flight time and power
consumption with the current environmental conditions.
