Standard Operation Procedure Auto Take-off in Ardupilot.

(https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/automatic-takeoff.html)

1. Pull Throttle stick to low.

2. Set Flight Mode to Stabilize. 

3. Check all control surfaces are correct reacting to the aircraft attitude (Roll, Pitch, Yaw)

4.  To ARM Ardupilot Flight Controller, Pull Rudder stick to minimum and to most right.

5. After a few seconds, Ardupilot should ARMED. (Complete Pre-Arm Check).  

6. Push throttle a bit to check motor is spinning correctly. Lower down throttle. 

7. Push throttle to 80% to check take off thrust either sufficient for take-off or not.

8. Set Flight Mode to AUTO.

9. Push Throttle stick to middle.

10. Shake Airplane and the motor should run at 90% throttle.

11. Throw and push airplane with 15 degrees pitch angle.

12. Airplane should climb until it reach altitude set in the Misson Planner (TakeOff)

*if take off failed and crashed, quickly lower throttle to minimum and switch flight mode to STABILIZE to reduce motor speed.

*if take off still can be safe, change flight mode to stabilize and control the airplane for emergency landing.

Standard Operation Procedure Auto Landing in Ardupilot.
(
https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/automatic-landing.html)

1. Follow parameters in the auto landing. (Click Here)

Skyhunter setup for 2.8kg AUW.

Land_Flare_Alt = 3.0 meter (Aircraft will turn off motor at 3.0 meter altitude).

Tecs_Land_Airspeed = 15 m/s (54 km/h)

Tecs_Land_Spdwgt = -1 (special value for auto-adjusting during landing)

Tecs_Land_Sink = 1.75 (Sink rate for final landing) (35 meter height/20 saat)

Mengikut pengalaman pilot landing sebelum ini adalah dari setinggi 35 meter, dengan kelajuan 54 km/h, sejauh 250 meter dari point last waypoint sehingga ke Land point.

Land_Pitch_CD = 300 (3 degress pitch upon flare point)

Level_Roll_Limit = 5 (5 degrees)(5 degress maximum roll limit)

Land_Disarm_Delay = 20 (will disarm after 20 seconds it is not moving)

Land_PF_Alt = 10 (10 meter)

Land_PF_Arspd = 5 (5m/s 18km/h)(Landing pre-flare airspeed)

Tecs_Land_Src = 0.2 (0.2 m/s/m)(the flare sinkrate which means to increase/decrease sink rate ay the plane get beyond the LAND waypoint)

Rngfnd_Landing = 1 (Enable the use of range finder to landing)

RTL_Autoland = 0 (Disable)

Land_Abort_Thr = 1 (allow to Abort Landing when throttle >95%)


2. Abort Landing procedure: Pilot push throttle 90% or push Abort Landing in Mission Planner. Aircraft will initiate RTL_Landing. Loiter altitude 30 meter. 

3. Push Button A (Skydroid) to reset Auto Mission.
