Autonomous Flight; Auto Takeoff - Impossible US-1 Operating Handbook

The gimbal mode switch, labeled G, is a 3-position switch which
controls gimbal functions. Move the switch into the low posi-
tion to reset the view and face the gimbal forward. Move the
switch into the middle position to toggle half speed, which re-
duces the dial inputs by half. Move the switch into the top
position to reset the view and face the gimbal downward.
The FLIR functions are controlled by the switches F1 to F3,
found on the right shoulder. These functions are configurable
through the FLIR UAS application. To change the functions of
the FLIR camera, please see section 3.3.1.
– By default, switch F1 controls zoom. In the low position,
the zoom is configured to 100%. In the high position,
400% digital zoom is enabled.
– By default, switch F2 controls the thermal color palette. In
the low position, fusion colors are enabled. In the middle
position, a white hot color scheme is enabled. In the high
position, a black hot color scheme is enabled.
– By default, switch F3 controls the viewing mode. In the
low position, full-screen video is enabled. In the middle
position, picture-in-picture is enabled. In the high posi-
tion, full-screen thermal is enabled.
7.6 US-1 Autonomous Flight
US-1 supports autonomous flight modes to reduce pilot workload.
Remember that autonomous operation is not a replacement for a
qualified operator. If an operator can't perform an action manually,
they shouldn't attempt it autonomously. For advanced training in
autonomous functions, please contact Impossible Aerospace Sup-
port at (408) 675-1195.
