WARNING: Use altitude override in small increments. Big climbs may lead to engine overheating and engine failure.
ALTITUDE OVERRIDE overrides current UAV's altitude value.
 Altitude override mode. |
Altitude override is available during the flight. NOTE: Altitude override is not allowed in land mode. Altitude override mode will be ignored if pressed during landing mode. |
Override mode is automatically activated by opening of the Altitude Override dialog. On open, dialog displays current UAV's AGL value. The UAV's desired altitude is left unchanged.
NOTE: Observe UAV current altitude and desired altitude on the Flight Data panel when applying override.
When "+" or "-" buttons are pressed current UAV's AGL value is incremented/decremented by 1 m. Depending on the current UAV's location the UAV's desired altitude will be adjusted to a new value. After adjusting the altitude to a new desired altitude UAV maintains this altitude.
Desired altitude = Terrain elevation below the UAV at the moment of applying override + new AGL value
