Advanced Operation

Search and rescue

  • The flight path of Aurora is shown with a red line on the map in AMC, which can help in viewing the area the aircraft has already covered.

  • Setting an isotherm to display colors within a specific temperature range can help identify areas of interest more quickly.

  • Streaming live video from the aircraft to the Auterion Suite is possible with a strong LTE connection. Additional information on setting up LTE on Astro is available here:

Inspections

  • The Wiris Pro EO camera delivers 1920x1080 images and 1280x720 video from a 1-10x zoom lens. When approaching an object of interest, we recommend keeping the aircraft at a safe distance and zooming in as much as needed to see the detail level required for inspections.

  • When using Slow Speed Mode, camera tilt and pan are scaled with the zoom level, so the control inputs become less sensitive as the camera is more zoomed in.

Be careful not to lose your orientation when flying with the camera zoomed in. We recommend resetting the camera zoom to 1x before moving to a new inspection site.
