Set Angle
Wind Direction
In environments with winds of less than 6 m/s, set the angle so that
the Aero flies into the wind. In winds from 7-10 m/s, configure the
flight path to travel perpendicular to the wind so the Aero flies cross-
wind.
No. of Strips
Adjust the angle so that the Aero makes as few turns as possible to
complete its course. The No. of Strips parameter shows how many
passes the plane 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.
Mission Planner Tip: 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
Configure the flight path perpendicular to the
wind in high winds (7-10 m/s).
Configure the flight path parallel with
the wind 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.
