What makes it work
UgCS Area Scan and True Terrain Following (TTF) Missions
A trainer-led course on UgCS Area Scan and True Terrain Following (TTF) missions.
Complete the online part at your own pace, then join a live video-call session (via Zoom) with a trainer. The course can also be conducted at SPH Engineering's office.
Course Highlights
Learn to plan and fly Area Scan missions and to work with True Terrain Following (TTF) and Grasshopper flight modes.
AreaScan Mission Planning
Planning AreaScan missions using DSM (elevation data).
TTF and Grasshopper Modes
Working with Custom Payload Monitor to control TTF/Grasshopper flight modes.
Flight Simulation
Simulation of AreaScan missions, including TTF mode and a flight with a battery change.
Safety in TTF Mode
Fail-safe actions in TTF mode, and what the ~1s delay of the TTF algorithm means in terms of speed and altitude.
Prerequisites and Format
Prerequisites and Test Flight
Completed UgCS Basics training or the same knowledge and experience.
Before this training, the trainee has to perform an automated test flight using UgCS - Area Scan or Photogrammetry routes.
If a trainee cannot demonstrate completed missions, the trainer will cancel the training session, and it has to be rescheduled.
Course Format
- Self-paced online course part
- Live video-call session (via Zoom) with a trainer
- Or conducted at SPH Engineering's office
Training Outline
- Planning AreaScan missions using DSM (elevation data)
- Installing/configuring SkyHub and altimeter on the DJI drone
- Working with Custom Payload Monitor to control TTF/Grasshopper flight modes
- Connection to the DJI drone using UgCS for the DJI app
- Simulation of AreaScan mission using the M600Pro drone in flight simulation mode without an altimeter
- Simulation of AreaScan mission using the TTF mode (how to enable simulation, how to start TTF mode, interrupt the mode)
- Fail-safe actions in TTF mode
- Planning and simulation of AreaScan/TTF mission where AreaScan is far from the take-off position
- Simulation of a flight with a battery change
- Safety considerations in TTF mode - what ~1s delay of TTF algorithm means in terms of speed and altitude
- Practical exercises (if training is provided online - analyzing of customer's flights and remote support):
- AreaScan mission flight without TTF
- AreaScan mission using TTF
- Changing batteries in the middle of the route and resuming the mission
- Attempt to start TTF mode when the drone is above max altitude
- Attempt to start TTF mode when the drone is below min altitude
- Pausing/resuming TTF mode
- Grasshopper missions
