notebook with the flight planning AscTec Navigator Software, even before you go out in the
field.
This function lets you generate an automated survey flight while in the field (without

start the survey flight.

and any related waypoints on the touch screen tablet of the Intel Cockpit Controller (CTR).
Independent Camera Control (see
function enables a second operator to control the camera via a gamepad, which is connected
to the CTR, while the pilot can fully concentrate on flying. Recommended for inspection
flights. Usually video goggles are used so that the second operator has an independent
video preview.
With the Circle of Interest (COI) it is possible to fly an automated 360° circle around an
object and take photos at predefined positions. These photos can later be processed by 3D
modelling software such as Agisoft PhotoScan, to build a 3D model of the object.
