Proposed detailed flight plan for Huston Autotone
Before departure:
Note: autotune feature is in extended Tuning feature in configuration select a channel
esp.
loiter(All manual operation will be in this mode unless instructed)[position 3]
auto-tune [position 5]
question: SB configured as flight mode override (do we need this function)
10", 4.2-3.3, lipo
During test flight:
Landing condition:
battery level below 30%
when any indication the auto-tune drone goes out of control (take over auto-tune operation and land)
Disarm condition:
The drone goes out of control in any flight mode (flies away or potentially threatens people)
Flight 1:(huston in already auto-tuned mode)
All people cleared away from the drone
arm Huston
take off(pos-hold) with already auto-tuned huston and fly forward, backward, left, right and pitch(30 m height)
Disarm huston and reconfirm
Flight 2:(remove the auto-tune to make huston default tuned)
All people cleared away from the drone
arm Huston
take off (pos-hold) with default tuned huston and fly forward, backward, left, right and pitch and see difference(30 m height)
disarm huston and reconfirm
check message log and battery level
Flight 3:(start autoTuning)
All people cleared away from the drone
arm Huston
take off in position hold → need GSO confirm flight mode on mission planner(30 m height)
engage auto-tune → need GSO confirm flight mode on mission planner
(auto tune can still control the drone)
Pilot make sure drone is not drifting a lot
GSO make sure there is no error message log
Will observe the drone moving on one axis to find the best PID
Time estimate 15 min
auto tune complete message will be in mission planner / drone stop tuning
land the drone
disarm and reconfirm disarm
PID will be saved
