Once you know the terrain you are going to map and its characteristics (for example you should be familiar with the height of the surrounding hills, buildings, trees and the vicinity of the water as well) you can start to plan your flight.
The flight plan is a sequence of flying stages (modes), such as take-off, navigate and land. Each stage has the relevant parameters that define the behavior of the UAV, like the flying altitude, speed and the trajectory it follows.
NOTE: Learn about take-off mode in Home and Take-Off chapters. Learn about landing mode in Rally and Parachute chapters. Learn about navigation mode in Draw chapter.
