Telemetry
- (Flight mode indication): Indicates the current position of the flight mode switch on the remote controller and the current flight mode.
- (Horizontal information indication): Indicates the horizontal speed of the aircraft and the distance from the take-off position.
- (Vertical information indication): Indicates the vertical speed of the aircraft and the altitude relative to the take-off position. The Vision Positioning altitude is also displayed when the Vision Positioning function is enabled.
-
Radio reception information
- (Indication of the number and signal strength of positioning satellites such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System))
-
(Indication of the positioning information when using the RTK kit (sold separately)): You can check the status of RTK positioning.
The background turns yellow when the RTK positioning accuracy is low.
- (RTK fixed state): RTK positioning is being performed with high accuracy.
- (RTK floating state): A certain period of time has elapsed since communication of correction information ceased, or the RTK positioning accuracy is low.
- (RTK single point positioning state): Single point positioning is being performed by the aircraft’s GNSS because RTK positioning is not available.
- (Indication of the signal strength of the remote controller)
-
Remaining battery level
- (Indication of the remaining flight time and remaining battery of the aircraft): Indicates the remaining flight time until forced landing due to insufficient battery power. The remaining battery level of the aircraft is indicated as a numerical value and a bar. The red area shows the remaining amount set for [Aircraft] - [Batteries] - [Start forced landing [%]] in the setting menu, and the yellow area shows the remaining amount set for [Battery-life alert [%]]. The triangle mark indicates the minimum battery level required to return to the Home Point. When the battery level drops to the level indicated by the triangle mark, the aircraft starts to perform RTH (Return to Home).
