USER MANUAL
INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAS
A green waypoint indicates that the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV successfully
passed the waypoint, sent a trigger command to the camera, and a tag
Note
was created in the log. It does not necessarily mean that the camera
successfully triggered, and stored the image.
5. When all waypoints are done, the UAV will stop at the last waypoint at the actual
height.
6. The UAV can now be landed to change batteries, and be prepared for the next
mission.
Interrupting A Mission
A planned flight may be interrupted at any time, for example to change the batteries
during larger survey missions. There are three ways to interrupt a flight manually:
• Tapping on the pause button (see above): the upload of new waypoints will be
stopped, and the UAV will stop and hover in the air, until you tap on the (blue)
play button again.
• Tapping on the stop button (see above): the upload of new waypoints will be
stopped, and the UAV will stop and hover in the air.
• Taking over manually, and giving the UAV a command from the CTR. This will
stop the flight of the UAV immediately, as well as the flight mission.
Resuming A Mission
If a survey flight was interrupted, it can be resumed at the position where is was
interrupted.
If you interrupted the mission by tapping on the pause button, resuming a mission is
easily done:
1. Launch the UAV up to the minimum height of 10 m.
2. Fly close to the waypoint from which the flight shall proceed.
3. Tap on the play button.
The UAV resumes the mission automatically by heading for the next waypoint.
If you had to abort a mission by tapping on the stop button, you should note the last
waypoint passed when you tapped on the stop button. The number of this waypoint is
shown on the right side of the map area on the touchscreen tablet. The number of
already passed waypoints in comparison to the total number is shown right to
located at the right side of the screen.
