Study Notes
Compass Calibration Overview
- Conduct compass calibration whenever flying more than 30 miles from the previous location for improved accuracy.
- Frequent calibrations are recommended for precise measurements.
Suitable Calibration Locations
- Best performed in open areas like grass or dirt to minimize interference.
- Avoid calibration near tall buildings, metallic objects, or magnetic fields to reduce errors.
- Not recommended over reinforced concrete or near other steel objects.
Calibration Process
- Utilize an efficient shortcut instead of navigating through menus to save time.
- Switch the flight mode from Position (P) to Attitude (A) and back to Position (P) four times to initiate calibration.
Physical Steps for Calibration
- Pick up the drone by its legs and hold it still.
- Rotate the drone in a full 360-degree circle while watching the indicator lights.
- Turn the drone on its side when the lights change color, continuing until strobing occurs.
- Completion of the process provides measurement of magnetic declination.
Compass Calibration Overview
- Perform compass calibration for flights exceeding 30 miles from the last flight location to enhance accuracy.
- Regular calibrations are essential for achieving precise navigation and measurement results.
Suitable Calibration Locations
- Ideal calibration spots are open fields like grass or dirt to minimize signal interference.
- Calibration should be avoided near tall structures, metal objects, or strong magnetic fields to prevent inaccuracies.
- Do not calibrate the drone over reinforced concrete or close to steel objects, as they can disrupt the process.
Calibration Process
- Use a shortcut to initiate calibration for efficiency instead of navigating through longer menu options.
- Switch the flight mode from Position (P) to Attitude (A), then revert back to Position (P) four times to start the calibration.
Physical Steps for Calibration
- Grasp the drone by its legs and ensure it remains stationary.
- Rotate the drone in a complete 360-degree circle while observing the indicator lights for changes.
- Once the lights change color, position the drone on its side and continue rotating until the lights begin to strobe.
- Completion of the calibration process allows for the assessment of magnetic declination, which is crucial for accurate flying.
