Rally point defines the position to which the UAV flies before it will start its final approach and land.
 Rally point |
If Rally point altitude above ground level (AGL) becomes too low Ground proximity warning markers will appear around the point. |
WARNING: In Rally point UAV can descend to low altitudes. Rally should be selected with extreme caution.
 Rally Point - Move the marker to change R point position. |
Click on Rally point and move it to the desired position or place Rally point through the context menu. Once the communication between C³P and the UAV is established the change of Rally point position will trigger blinking of Upload Waypoints button. After Upload Waypoints button is pressed new Rally position will be uploaded to the UAV. |
 Rally Point - change loiter radius. |
Select the circle around Rally point and drag it to change its radius. Once the communication between C³P and the UAV is established the change of radius will trigger blinking of Upload Waypoints button. After Upload Waypoints button is pressed new loiter radius will be uploaded to the UAV.

Double-click on the rally point (or click the entry in the Flight Plan table) to open the settings dialog.
Rally parameters are settings used by the autopilot in rally mode. These settings are uploaded with the flight plan using Upload Waypoints button. Adjust display units in Settings, Units tab.
 Rally Dialog. |
NOTE: The UAV will fly in the straight line from Rally (R) position to Parachute (P) position. Because of this both points must be on the same MSL altitude. This is automatically adjusted when you are changing either one of them.
Parameter |
Value |
|---|---|
Altitude AGL |
Min: Conditioned with the requirement that Parachute point must be at least 45 m above ground level (AGL). Max: Conditioned with the requirement that Parachute point can be at most 60 m above ground level (AGL). |
Air speed |
Min: Value depends on the selected airframe. Max: 22 m/s |
Loiter radius |
Min: 100 m Max: 200 m |
Altitude MSL |
Mean sea level altitude of R point. |
Parachute AGL |
Current altitude value of Parachute point (P). |
Fly to Available during the flight. |
Command UAV to set the autopilot in rally mode. Fly To command is automatically uploaded to UAV. |
Rally parameters.
If Rally point altitude above ground level (AGL) becomes too low Ground proximity warning markers will appear around the point.
WARNING: Terrain elevation should be checked on a topographic map. In some cases DEM does not have correct values or any values (when flying outside of the covered area) which can lead to an unsafe situation. If this is the case you should adjust altitudes of waypoints in Mission Settings/Waypoints dialogs according to the information from topographic map.
NOTE: UAV will return to home with MIN GO HOME altitude set in Failsafes. C3P constantly calculates safe MSL altitude, according to predefined AGL setting, that UAV can use to return home. If current altitude is higher than calculated one the UAV will return back home with same altitude.
