Project Controls

Project control

Flight plan controlled flight

The project control gives an overview which Project, which Flight Plan of the Project and which Flight Line of the Flight Plan is selected to be flown.

Also the number of the flight execution for the selected project is shown.

The project name is St. Gallen

The flight plan name is Rheintal-E

The line label is REA001

The line number is 027

The project St. Gallen is flown for the 2nd time: Flight number 002

If during a flight plan controlled flight the sensor is manually released by the user, Leica FlightPro adds to the project a non-planned flight plan to store the manually released flight line.

Manually controlled flight

This is the case if no Project is selected. If the systems released either manually, Leica FlightPro stores the release information in a dummy project. For each ‘Flight’ such a dummy project is created by Leica FlightPro. It stores information about all manually released flight lines taken during the period of start Flight till quit Flight.

The name of the unplanned project is generated in the format: YearMonthDayHHMMSS.

A dummy planning consists of a 'non-planned Project' with a ‘Non-planned Flight Plan’. Each release sequence generates a line. The line number starts with 1 and is increase for each line.

The project name is Unplanned 20060104150803.

It was generated by the Leica FlightPro to store information for manually released lines if no project is loaded.

The flight line label is UL001.

Project progress control

The project progress control shows information about the progress in the project execution. In case of line or LIDAR sensors it shows the amount of memory in GB. In case of a frame sensor it shows the numbers of frames.

Number of remaining and number of flown lines.

Length of remaining and length of flown lines.

Approximate amount of remaining and taken image data.

Data filter control

The data filter control shows the user settings for data to be displayed in the graphic or numeric in-flight evaluation controls. See “Graphic in-flight evaluation control” on Page 582 and “Alphanumeric in-flight evaluation control” on Page 583.

The selections are:

Top row: flown lines / multiple flown lines / lines not flown / planning

Bottom row: line flown with errors / warnings / manual released / flight path

Project area control

This control provides a thumbnail display of the whole project area and a red frame indicating the area displayed on graphic views.

The orientation is North-up.

Line detail control

This control displays details relevant to the highlighted data when the user browses project data in the alphanumeric project view control.

Date and UTC time of line execution. If a line is flown multiple times, the date and time of the last execution is displayed. The line in the example was flown once and was completed.

If a line is not completed, the appropriate detail information is displayed in the control: For example length of missed parts, number multiple partly flights.

For lines flown with warnings or errors detailed information about the errors are displayed in the control. See Project Controls | Status-icons and Project Controls | Warning-and-error-information.

Status icons

Icon	Description
	Line currently in execution
	Line flown once
	Line flown multiple times
	Line flown with warnings
	Line flown with errors

Warning and error information

Icon	Description
	Navigation, deviation exceeded warning or release shut off distances, or speed
	Mount out off limits
	GNSS constellation out of limits
	Underexposure warning
	Overexposure warning
	System configuration failed
	Mass Memory - data recording error

Graphic in-flight evaluation control

This control is the key element of the In-flight evaluation graphic view. See section Project Status Views for in-flight evaluation | Graphic-and-alphanumeric-in-flight-evaluation.

This control provides a graphic project overview for in-flight evaluation and control of project execution. The orientation is North-up.

The displayed data depend on the user settings. See section Project Controls | Data-filter-control.

The colour codes are given below in Project Controls | Colour-codes-in-the-graphical-presentation-showing-the-line-status.

Colour codes in the graphical presentation showing the line status

Colour	Line status	Representation is the graphics
Green	Successfully flown	The whole line is green.
Orange	Flown with warnings	The part of the line flown with warnings is orange.
Red	Flown with errors	The part of the line flown with errors is red.
Red	Line in execution	The whole line is red. Additionally a fictive line is displayed. This thin red line is the extension of the flight line to the IP (black square).
Blue	Next line	The whole line is blue. Additionally a fictive line is displayed. This thin blue line is the extension of the flight line towards the IP (black square) and approach.
Black	Recording was manually set OFF	The part of the line flown with recording OFF is black.
	Not yet flown	Thin black line
	Flight path	Thin black line

Alphanumeric in-flight evaluation control

This control is the key element of the In-flight evaluation alphanumeric view. See section https://hexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/x/bAAwago.

This control lists for each line:

flight plan name
line number
line label
status information (shown with icons)
the maximum deviation of the flown line to the planned line horizontal and vertical.

The displayed data depend on the user settings. See section Project Controls | Data-filter-control.
