What does the Area Scan & TTF course cover?
This training course covers the specifics of flying with the SkyHub on-board computer and the True Terrain Following flight kit on DJI M300 and M350 drones. It focuses on area scan flight planning for data collection, using both True Terrain Following and Hybrid flight modes. SPH Engineering's Academy groups the content into 3 areas:
- Safety: TTF flight safety considerations and the routine checks to run before each flight.
- Planning: how to plan True Terrain Following routes, where altitude is held using data from the altimeter, and Hybrid routes.
- Flight process: how to start a flight, pause and resume it, and handle large surveys that need battery changes.
The course is delivered as a video course on the SPH Engineering Academy platform.
