Geofencing
The Galaxy autopilot can enable a Geo Fence that will restrict both height and distance from
take-off. The default settings for the Galaxy aircraft is to have both of these settings
disabled and rely on flight planning information and users to fly within the rules and
restrictions of their country's regulations.
Altitude Limit
The maximum altitude limit is used to restrict the Galaxy to a max altitude set in the
autopilot interface. If GPS (MSL) height source is selected for flight, then it is most likely that
this setting will need to be disabled as the take off height may already be beyond the height
limit set.
Example: The height limit is set to 120m (400ft) but the take-off height is 400m (1300ft)
MSL, if the autopilot height source is set to GPS (MSL) then the take-off location is already
exceeding the height limit and will not take off correctly. If the autopilot is set to Barometric
(AGL) then the height limit will work correctly as no matter where the take-off location is
the barometric height will always initialize at 0m.
Distance Limit
The Distance Limit function restricts the flight distance from take-off point to the value set
in the interface. The autopilot will not allow the aircraft to fly outside the set radius and will
maintain a hover at the restricted distance.
Example: Distance limit is set to 100m (330ft) the Galaxy takes off and is flown in a straight
line, once it reaches a distance of 100m (330ft) the Galaxy will slow down to a hover and not
fly beyond the distance even if the command from the GCS is to keep flying.
