12. Flyview for Manual Flight Testing


The Flyview feature in AeroGCS CONFIG allows users to perform manual flight testing with a clear, real-time visual interface. This feature is crucial for monitoring the drone’s performance and ensuring safe and accurate flight operations. Below is a detailed description of the Flyview interface and its components:

12.1 Accessing Flyview

To access Flyview for manual flight testing, navigate to the main screen of AeroGCS CONFIG and click the Flyview  button. The interface will display a real-time satellite map of the drone’s location and additional flight data.

12.2 Flyview Interface Components

  1. Real-Time Satellite Map:
    • The main section of the Flyview screen displays a real-time satellite map with the drone’s current location marked by a green arrow.
    • A red circle indicates the drone’s geofence boundary, providing a clear visual representation of the operational area.

  2. Flight Data Overlay:
    • At the top of the screen, several key metrics are displayed:
      • Speed: The current speed of the drone (e.g., 0.02 m/s).
      • Voltage: The current voltage of the drone’s battery (e.g., 12.59 V).
      • Current: The current being drawn by the drone (e.g., 0 A).
    • The right-hand corner features an artificial horizon and compass for additional orientation.

  3. Flight Status Information:
    • The bottom of the screen shows comprehensive flight status information, including:
      • GPS Coordinates: The current GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude).
      • Satellites: Number of GPS satellites connected and HDOP value.
      • Altitude: The drone’s altitude from the take-off point.
      • Flight Mode: See your current flight mode, such as “Stabilize,” displayed here. Click the arrow on the right to select different modes.
      • Arm Status: Indicates whether the drone is armed or disarmed.
      • Obstacle Distance and Altitude: Readings from the obstacle avoidance sensors.
      • RSSI: Signal strength indicator.
      • Distance from Home: The drone’s distance from the home point.
      • Flight Time: Total duration of the current flight.
12.3 Manual Flight Controls:

    • The left-hand side of the screen contains buttons for basic manual control functions:
      • Arm: Prepares the drone’s motors for flight.
      • Disarm: Stops the drone’s motors for safety.
      • Camera Trigger: Activates the camera to capture images or videos.
12.4 Return to AeroGCS CONFIG Settings

To return to AeroGCS CONFIG settings from Fly View, click on the “Settings ” button.

12.5 Using Flyview for Manual Flight Testing

  1. Preparing for Manual Flight:
    • Ensure that the drone’s propellers are properly attached and the battery is fully charged.
    • Verify that the GPS signal is strong and the number of satellites is sufficient for stable flight.

  2. Initiating Manual Flight:
    • Use the on-screen controls to arm the drone and select the desired flight mode.
    • Take off by clicking the take-off button or using manual controls on the remote controller.

  3. Monitoring Flight:
    • Keep an eye on the real-time satellite map and the drone’s position within the geofence boundary.
    • Continuously monitor flight data and status indicators for any anomalies or warnings.

  4. Ending Manual Flight:
    • Safely land the drone using the landing button or manual controls.
    • Disarm the drone once it has landed to ensure safety.

  5. Post-Flight Analysis:
    • Review the recorded flight data and logs for performance analysis and troubleshooting.

      Flyview is an essential tool for drone operators, providing a comprehensive and intuitive interface for manual flight testing. It enhances situational awareness, ensures flight safety, and facilitates efficient flight operations.
