- Load the mission boundary into your flight planning app. Set altitude per requirements, configure front and side overlap, fly the grid.
- Before packing up, review images on your controller — check focus, exposure, and coverage. Full coverage of the mission area is required for full payment.
If a battery swap caused a gap, fly a second pass before leaving. The Raad map has a Show Captured Area toggle you can check after uploading to verify full coverage.
