Set OverShoot
The Aero has a minimum turning radius of 90 degrees. To accommodate the
sharp angles of the survey mission, set both OverShoot parameters to 50 to
have the Aero overshoot the waypoints on either side of the polygon by 50%
to ensure that the complete area of the polygon is covered by the images.
OverShoot will affect flight time. Ensure that the total estimated flight time is
less than the Aero’s maximum flight time of 40 minutes.
Adjust Overlap and Sidelap
Overlap and sidelap are set to 50% and 60%, respectively, by default. See
page 42 for an in-depth discussion of these parameters.
Adjust StartFrom
During the mission, you will maintain contact with the aircraft through the RC
controller and ground station signals. If your mission is likely to experience a
loss of signal, it is best practice to start from the corner of the mission farthest
from the launch point. In this example, TopLeft is the corner of the mission
farthest from the launch point.
