Changing altitude after an approach

Julian Perry

Hi there,

I'm new to DroneLink but enjoying creating new plans.

I have an Orbit plan that consists of an approach and then the orbit as normal, and I wanted to have the approach operate at 50ft, while it videos in a particular direction of a point of Interest, before then dropping to 25ft to conduct and image the orbit. However, every time I reset the altitude for the approach it also changes it for the Orbit. I have also tried setting an 'Achieved Component' after the approach but again it also changes the Orbit altitude.

Any ideas on how to do what I am attempting?

Thanks

    Just add another destination in front of the orbit at the same point as the approach.

    I have tried that but it does the new destination at the new height after it has finished the orbit so it's not when I need it.

    I'm sure there's a way

    Just move it before the orbit.

    it was on the approach path but the dotted line does its own thing and goes from the orbit injection point to the send destination. Can I force it otherwise?

    You can share your mission plan with a collaboration link if you want me to show you.

    I changed it for you so you could see, but it looks like you kept changing it after I did it.

    Ok so do the numbers of the destinations change over as they didn't when I first played with it. My new added one was No 2

    I still don't know what you did to get that. Do you click on the first destination and add the second. whenever I try it I get a second destination that will be completed after

    Ok so move the approach line to intersect with the new destination?

    Add the new destination and the move it up:

     

    Then copy the coordinates from the Orbit approach into the new destination:

    Oh ok so I can't use the right click option?

    You can add the destination with right click, but you will still need to move it up since it always adds to the end. Also the right click won't be at exactly the same coordinates so you are still going to have to copy and paste those.

    I see now, I've just discovered the move-up arrows. Easy when you know how :)
