Set Angle
Wind Direction
In environments with winds of less than 6 m/s, set the angle so
that the X8 flies into the wind. In winds from 7-10 m/s, configure
the flight path to travel perpendicular to the wind so the X8 flies
cross-wind.
No. of Strips
Adjust the angle so that the X8 makes as few turns as possible to
complete its course. The No. of Strips parameter shows how many
passes the X8 will make as you adjust the angle.
Review Wind Conditions On-Site
Always assess the wind conditions at your survey site at the time
of the mission and adjust the mission accordingly. Adjust Polygon
Click and drag the red polygon points to adjust the size and
shape of the polygon from the Survey Tool.
Configure Survey: Set Angle
wind
Angle in high winds (7-10 m/s)
Angle in low winds (1-6 m/s)
! Use caution when flying in winds over 10m/s. Mapping results
may degrade as a result of inability to make headway or maintain
appropriate groundspeed.
