The normal number of satellites provides a good level of accuracy. Shown in white color if at or above this level. The number of satellites shown in yellow color if below this level and between normal and low levels.

Yes

Low number of GPS satellites

The low number of GPS satellites while still being enough to launch the vehicle. The number of satellites shown in yellow color if at this level or between this and the normal level. The number of satellites shown in red color if below this level.

Yes

Telemetry section

Yes

Routing section

Max. waypoints

Maximum supported WPs by the flight controller

Yes

Waypoint acceptance radius

3D distance of the vehicle from the approach waypoint is sufficient to consider the point as reached. Please refer to autopilot documentation to check the applicability of this parameter.

Yes

Max altitude AMSL

Maximum allowed altitude AMSL, m

Yes

Max altitude AGL

Maximum allowed altitude AGL, m

Yes

Maximum Rangefinder distance, m

The maximum altitude, the rangefinder can be used from. See the rangefinder’s manual to set this parameter correctly.

Yes

Fence radius

Radio link range radius, m

Yes

Maximum travel time

Maximum flight time in seconds

Yes

Safe height over terrain

Minimal allowed distance to terrain for the vehicle, m. Small vehicles can fly very close to terrain but larger ones should fly higher

Yes

Safe distance to obstacle

Minimal allowed distance to obstacles for the vehicle, m

Yes

Max. climb rate

Maximum climb speed of copters for take-off waypoints, m/s

Yes

Max. descent rate

Maximum descent rate of copters for landing waypoints, m/s

Yes

Max. horizontal speed

Maximum horizontal speed, m/s

Yes

Default climb rate

Default climb speed of copters for take-off waypoints, m/s

Yes

Default descent rate

Default descent rate of copters for landing waypoints, m/s

Yes

Default horizontal speed

Default horizontal speed relative to the ground, m/s
Used as default speed for route segments and for Click & Go mode.

Yes

Initial speed

Default speed from the home point to the route's first point, the continuing point of the route (also if checked "Take-off to route's first waypoint", m/s
By default - 5m/s

Yes

Maximum wait time

For DJI drones wait action is now limited to 25.5 seconds according to DJI recommendations.

Yes

Corner radius

Controls the curvature of the path in case the route contains Adaptive Bank Turn waypoints. By default - 20m

Yes

Fixed-wing section***

Glide slope, %

Default glide slope, %
Applicable for the planes

Yes

Airspeed during landing approach

Airspeed for fixed-wing aircraft when approaching landing

No

Landing ground speed, m/s

Plane ground speed in the last flight segment to the landing point, m/s
Applicable for planes and not used for multirotor

Yes

Landing flare altitude

Altitude in meters at which Landing Flare will be engaged, this parameter is secondary to the landing flare time parameter

No

Landing flare time

Time in which fixed-wing aircraft should reach the ground during landing when landing flare will be engaged, motors stopped, and heading locked

No

Minimum landing pitch

Minimum pitch in ° during final landing stage (after flare), the algorithm will control pitch above this value to achieve proper sink rate

No

Controller sink rate to pitch gain during flare

Sink rate gain for pitch demand during final landing stage, m/°

No

Weighting applied to speed control during landing

A value closer to 2 will result in the plane ignoring height error during landing (will keep the nose up), and a value closer to 0 results in the plane ignoring speed error (use with caution, could result in plane stall)

No

Maximum pitch in auto flight

Controls maximum pitch in ° during the automatic mode, Rage: 0 to 45°, if set to zero, Maximum pitch parameters will be used

No

Maximum pitch

The maximum commanded pitch-up angle, Range: 0 to 90°

No

Minimum throttle

Minimum throttle setting in % which Autopilot will apply. For the final landing stage, this is ignored

No

Landing sink rate (final stage)

The sink rate in meters/second for the final landing stage. Range: 0.0 to 2.0

No

Enable rangefinder for landing

Enables the use of a rangefinder for automatic landing. The rangefinder will be used both on the landing approach and for the final flare

No
