The RAD tab introduces a head-up tactical radar and a critical-data panel, providing unparalleled spatial awareness without needing video feed.
The left side of the screen features a dynamic radar square.
- Drone Position: You are always at the center of the square (marked by a cross).
- Home Point: The point where you armed the drone is plotted as a solid 3x3 square.
-
Heading-Relative Plotting: The radar uses your compass/heading sensor (
Hdg). The top of the square always represents the direction the nose of your drone is currently pointing. If the home square is at the bottom, you need to turn around! -
Dynamic Auto-Scaling: The radar automatically zooms in and out as you fly. The range steps through
100m,500m,1000m, and multiples thereof, meaning the home dot scales inward smoothly as you approach the landing zone.
The right side of the screen provides a decluttered, high-visibility vertical panel with your most critical return-to-home metrics:
-
DIST: Horizontal distance to home. Automatically switches from meters (
m) to kilometers (km) when you pass the 1000m mark. - ALT: Altitude above the home point (launch elevation).
-
VSPD: Vertical speed in
m/s, signed (+for ascending,-for descending).
*(Note: The radar requires a valid GPS fix and a minimum satellite count before it locks the home position. "NO GPS" will flash if the lock is lost).
