Backdrop Maps | Airborne Solutions Software Documentation

Leica FlightPro can display a map layer on the following views:

North-up
Nose-up
Project

An introduction to the use of maps is given in section Maps Selection configuration.

For instructions on how to:

Define which map Leica FlightPro selects for display see section Maps Selection configuration.
Define the content which Leica FlightPro displays on the map layer see section View Configuration.

Examples of views with data displayed on the map layer

	North-up view with vector data
	North-up view with Elevation Encoded bitmap
	Nose-up view with bitmap Map
	Nose-up view with Shaded Relief bitmap

Examples of views with map layer displayed

Project Status view with Shaded Relief bitmap

Project Status view with Elevation Encoded bitmap and real-time coverage

Elevation Encoded maps generated by Leica FlightPro are colour-coded, if displayed on the OC61 Operator Console.

See sections Colour coding of SRTM DTM data if displayed on the Operator Console and Coding of SRTM DTM data if displayed on the Pilot interface

The example on the left side shows that the path of the shortest approach passes terrain which is - according to the SRTM DTM data - close or above the current flying height of the aircraft.

For safety reasons, Elevation Encoded maps are not colour-coded if displayed on the Pilot interface.

Colour coding of SRTM DTM data if displayed on the Operator Console

Colour code	Height range in displayed image
Colour code	minimum height	maximum height
Black to white	Any height from lowest terrain up to 300 m (985 ft) below the aircraft	300 m (985 ft) below the aircraft
Yellow	300 m (985 ft) below the aircraft	100 m (330 ft) below the aircraft
Light red	100 m (330 ft) below the aircraft	Any height above the aircraft

Coding of SRTM DTM data if displayed on the Pilot interface

Colour code	Terrain height	Remarks
Black	Lowest terrain in displayed image	Can be any height in the range from below the current aircraft flying height to above the current aircraft flying height
White	Highest terrain in displayed image
