Study Notes
Mission Planning Overview
- The K1000P UAS requires specific mission planning for takeoff and landing using Ardupilot Mission Planner.
- Minimum runway length for takeoff and landing is 1300ft (400m).
- Each qualified flying field must have independent mission plans for both runway directions and combined operations.
Takeoff and Landing Procedures
- Takeoff angle: 4° ± 1°, initial loiter altitude: 400ft (120m), LiDAR inspection altitude: 200ft (60m), landing approach angle: -2.5°.
- Distances and altitudes in the reference pattern should be followed closely, while lateral distances and altitudes may be adjusted as needed.
Takeoff Details
- TAKEOFF waypoint is the first in the mission sequence, with altitude set to 5 meters relative to the runway.
- During the TAKEOFF maneuver, the aircraft maintains its GPS heading until the altitude requirement is met.
- The waypoint approach features:
- Waypoint at 115ft (35m) should support a 4° ascent angle.
- Waypoint completion is based on lateral proximity, not necessarily altitude.
Flight Path Sequence
- Crosswind leg establishes the flight pattern.
- Initial loiter position set through LOITER_TO_ALT, completed upon reaching the designated altitude.
- LOITER_TIME enables extended loitering for a specified duration (e.g., 10 minutes).
Landing Procedures
- DO_LAND_START waypoint triggers the landing sequence; typically autonomous with emergency protocols.
- Flexibility in waypoint execution, allowing for skipping certain points during GUIDED mode.
Mission Planning for K1000P Fixed Wing
- The K1000P UAS requires specific planning for takeoff, landing, linear, and grid missions using the Ardupilot Mission Planner.
- Minimum launch and recovery runway length is 1300 ft (400 m).
- Each flying field needs separate mission plans for takeoff and landing in both directions.
- Example plans for taxiway scenarios illustrate required configurations.
Takeoff and Landing Specifications
- Reference takeoff and landing patterns dictate critical parameters for operation.
- Takeoff needs a departure angle of 4° ± 1° and initial loiter altitude of 400 ft (120 m).
- LiDAR inspection altitude should be set to 200 ft (60 m).
- Landing approach angle must adhere strictly to -2.5° for optimal performance.
- Local takeoff and landing missions utilize relative altitude (AFE), while waypoint-based missions use absolute altitude (MSL).
Detailed Takeoff Procedures
- Takeoff Waypoint: First waypoint; altitude must reach 5 meters for successful takeoff.
- Waypoint (1): Positioned upwind at 115 ft (35 m) to achieve a 4° ascent.
- Waypoint (2): Establishes a crosswind leg for pattern formation.
- Loiter to Altitude: Indicates the initial loiter position; completion based on altitude criteria.
- Loiter Time: Defines the loiter duration (e.g., 600 seconds for 10 minutes) for post-takeoff tasks.
Landing Procedures
- Landing process involves specific waypoints, with emphasis on relative altitudes (AFE).
- DO_LAND_START: Marks the beginning of the autonomous landing sequence, improvisable in emergencies.
- Emergency protocols may allow bypassing certain waypoints during guided flight control.
