Flight plan preparation
Considering the technical, meteorological and legal conditions of the possible flight area choice, you shouldn’t forget about the most important element: the aim and purpose of the flight.In this assigment you need to justify the choice of the flight area and prove that the geographical aln legal conditions allow for a save flight execution.
If you need you can attach to the assignment a photo, figure or map.
- Motivation
- Why do you want to fly over this area? (state the research problem)
- what problem are you aiming to solve,
- what research question to answer,
- or what object or phenomenon to investigate
- Why do you want to fly over this area? (state the research problem)
- Flight planning in emotion software (video)
- additional files
- GIS analysis of flight plan using lidar-based DSM
- Chosen take off location (short description helping with localization of the spot)
- Chosen landing location (short description helping with localization of the spot)
- Alternate landing location (short description helping with localization of the spot)
- Coordinates of the take-off and landing locations
- Property of the ground (public, private - is there permission from the landowner?)
- Accessibility of the take-off location (brief description of possible obstacles or difficulties to get to the area or set the launcher)
- Formal possibilities of flight execution (does this area have COA, who obtained it, what is the status of the area according to the aeronautical charts
- Relief conditions and possibilities of safe flight execution
- Targeted area (ha or sq. km)
- Area radius (distance between the ground station location and the furthest spot to be mapped
- Elevation differences between the Digital Surface Model and the flight ceiling (in GIS)
- Brief description of geographical conditions (topography, land use, terrain obstacles, ground activity etc.)
- Flight parameters
- Desired resolution (for orthophoto or DSM)
- Desired overlap
- Attachments
- Map of the flight area with following elements indicated
- Take off and landing locations
- Safe, obstacle free take off and landing
- Borders of the desired mapping area
- Ground station radius
- Map of the flight area with following elements indicated
