An unmanned aircraft operator monitors the flight by means of specialist software installed on a laptop. Prior to take-off, the operator must first prepare a flight plan, whereby the input data include the flight area and the desired spatial resolution. The flight area is defined by means of a flight range determined either by selecting points on the map or by manually entering the coordinates into the software.

The spatial resolution of shots depends on the camera’s properties and the recording flight altitude which the operator adapts so as achieve the desired resolution.

The flight plan is then uploaded on the unmanned aircraft. During the flight, the operator is telemetrically connected with the aircraft. Communication is established between the computer and the aircraft via a USB radio modem. Through the computer, the operator monitors the flight and receives the related information.
