Succesive flights in the air

If I have two plans set for AGL and specific take off area, and I fly the first one, will Dl let me start the second one from the air ie; after the first one without returning to the takeoff point? Thanks

    Hi Norman. Yes. However, If “specific area” is on then it will need to be within the orange take-off area. After first mission you can fly the drone manually to that orange circled area or increase the diameter so it’s a bit easier and not need to be so precise. As long as it’s within that area it will start and fly. My understanding using Specific Area is so the data used will be based on that starting points elevation so AGL will be more accurate. At least as accurate as it can be. That’s why it gives you that pop-up warning when changing to AGL.

    So, is it necessary to land the drone for a new takeoff or can the new mission start from so 10 feet into the air above the takeoff?  My understanding is that the new mission must start from takeoff?

    So I take it I can't do a chain of in the air missions without returning to home after each plan mission completed, if I'm operating AGL?

    You can, as long as the takeoff point is the same on all the plans.

    Nice to know.  So, is it necessary to pause a mission and then start the next and allow the last one to complete with a RTH to the original takeoff location?

    Don’t need to pause the mission. Just let it finish and make sure you set the action on finish to none (hover) You can load and start additional plans from last plans ending location. There is no need to RTH or even land. As long as the take-off as Jim stated was the same on each plan.
