13. Fly View
13.1 Flight Controls
Flight control buttons appear on the left side of the Fly View screen. These controls let you start the mission, pause, resume, trigger Return to Launch, and monitor pre-flight status.
Take-Off
Tap Take-Off 
to begin the automated pre-flight checks. AeroGCS GREEN verifies:
- Motor readiness
- Battery level
- Device mode
- Satellite count and GPS health
You can adjust the Speed, Altitude, and Spray Volume parameters before take-off.
Start Flight
Once pre-flight checks pass:
- Swipe right on the Start Flight control.
- The system arms the drone and begins the mission.
When the flight begins:
- The drone climbs automatically to the preset altitude.
- Speed adjusts automatically to the preset value.
- Live tracking and live stream activate automatically.
| Note: Some cloud-based features such as full live tracking and cloud video syncing require a valid AeroGCS Enterprise subscription. AeroGCS GREEN will still record video locally even without cloud access. |
Manual Live Stream Before Take-Off
You can activate Live Stream before take-off.
- Tap LIVE on the Fly View screen.
- AeroGCS GREEN checks your internet speed.
- If the connection is slow, a “Slow Internet” message appears.
- Local video recording always continues, even with slow or no internet.
- When high-speed internet is available, you can upload the locally recorded video to the cloud if you have Enterprise access.
This helps you:
- Capture pre-flight visuals.
- Inspect the field
- Check wind direction or obstacles
- Record data even in low-connectivity areas
RTL (Return to Launch)
Tap RTL 
to return the drone to its launch point.
This function is used during emergencies or when you must terminate the mission immediately.
The drone returns automatically and lands near the take-off point.
Pause
Tap Pause 
to temporarily stop the mission.
When paused, the system marks a resume point labeled R on the map.
The drone lands safely at the designated position.
Resume
Tap Resume to continue the mission from the marked R point. This prevents repeating previously sprayed lanes and reduces flight distance.
If you tap Edit instead of Resume, the resume marker is cleared. The mission will restart from the first lane. This increases time and may cause repeated spraying.
Safety Notes
- Verify that all field obstacles, tall objects, and humans are clear before tapping Take-Off or Start Flight.
- Never pause or resume in unsafe locations.
- Always review the Free Space (GPS and RC signal) before flight initiation.
13.2 Flight Details
Flight details are shown at the bottom left of the screen.
You can monitor:
- Alt: Current altitude in meters
- Speed: Current flight speed (m/s)
- Covered / Estimated Area: Completed area and the remaining area (acres)
- Flow Rate: Liquid flow rate (L/min)
- Obs Alt: Obstacle sensor altitude (cm)
- Time: Estimated time to complete the mission
- Distance: Total distance covered (m)
- Consumed: Total liquid consumed (mL)
13.3 Spray Rate Dosage Calculation
Fly View provides real-time dosage information:
- Consumed liquid (mL)
- Remaining tank percentage
- In-flight pump control
You can adjust pump rate during flight to optimize coverage.
13.4 Status Details and Settings Options
- Pump Rate: Adjustable using the on-screen slider. Displayed in percentage.
- Battery Status: Shows voltage.
- RC Signal: Displays RC link strength.
- Battery Consumption: Shows current (A) and consumed battery (mAh).
- Satellite Count: Displays GPS satellite count and HDOP.
- Drone Status: Shows current flight mode and status.

Tapping on the three dots opens:
Team Member Name: Name of the logged-in account.
Cloud Sync: Tap to sync if cloud access is enabled.
Notifications: Tap to view notifications.
Drone Connection: Turns green when connected.
Settings: Opens RPA settings.
13.5 Range Finder
You can configure a Sensor Threshold Distance in RPA settings.
AeroGCS GREEN uses color coding to show whether the drone is within or beyond the threshold.
This improves situational awareness and reduces the risk of collision.
13.6 Notifications
All notifications appear in a list.
To delete all:
- Tap Clear All.
- A confirmation message appears.
- Tap Yes to remove all notifications.
13.7 Arm and Disarm Navigation Bar

13.8.5 Automatic Live Stream During Flight
- When you tap Arm/Fly
, AeroGCS GREEN activates the live stream automatically. - The Live Stream
button is disabled until the drone is disarmed. - This prevents unintentional interruption of the video feed.
13.8.6 When to Use Live Streaming
Live video helps you:
- Verify the field and flight path.
- Monitor spray operations.
- Identify obstacles or uneven terrain.
- Support manual or semi-automatic adjustments.
- Capture visual evidence for records or analysis.
