Fly Dashboard Overview

The Fly Dashboard is the primary workspace for monitoring and controlling drone operations. It combines mapping, flight controls, mission management, and operational tools into a single interface, allowing operators to manage missions without leaving the dashboard.

The dashboard is designed around an interactive map, with controls positioned around the edges of the screen for quick access during flight operations.

Left Panel​

The Left Panel provides live operational information throughout the flight. It displays telemetry received from connected equipment and continuously updates as aircraft and controllers transmit new data.

The panel is organized into multiple telemetry sections, allowing operators to monitor the status of the dock, aircraft, and remote controller without obstructing the map workspace.

Dock Telemetry​

The Dock Telemetry section displays the operational status of the connected dock.

Information displayed may include:

  • Dock connection status
  • Dock health
  • Charging status
  • Environmental conditions
  • Operational state

This information allows operators to verify that the dock is functioning correctly before and during flight operations.

Dock and RC telemetry data

UAV Telemetry​

The UAV Telemetry section displays live information from the connected aircraft.

Telemetry includes key flight information such as:

  • Aircraft status
  • GPS status
  • Battery level
  • Flight mode
  • Speed
  • Heading
  • Signal strength

Values update continuously while the aircraft is connected.

UAV telemetry and coordinates

RC Telemetry​

The RC Telemetry section displays the status of the connected remote controller.

Information includes:

  • Connection status
  • Battery level
  • Signal quality
  • Controller state

This enables operators to monitor controller health throughout the mission.

Altitude Meter​

The Altitude Meter provides a graphical representation of the aircraft's current altitude.

The indicator updates in real time as the aircraft climbs or descends, allowing operators to monitor altitude at a glance.

Altitude telemetry data

Center Workspace​

The Center Workspace forms the central area of the Fly Dashboard and is the primary view used during flight operations.

Interactive Map​

An interactive map displays mission locations, connected aircraft, operational overlays, and other geographic information in real time.

The map supports standard navigation controls, allowing users to:

  • Zoom in and out.
  • Pan across the map.
  • Re-center the map on the current area of interest.
  • Navigate freely to inspect surrounding locations.

Connected aircraft are displayed on the map using position markers. As an aircraft moves, its location is updated in real time, providing a live representation of its current position.

Mission-related information is visualized directly on the map, including flight paths, waypoints, take-off and landing locations, mission boundaries, and operational zones.

The workspace supports multiple map layers that can be enabled or disabled, such as satellite imagery, street maps, terrain, or operational overlays.

Right Panel​

The Right Panel provides access to the operational controls available within the Fly Dashboard. These controls allow operators to manage missions, connected devices, and map entities without leaving the main workspace.

The panel is organized into expandable sections, enabling users to focus on a specific operational task while keeping the interactive map visible.

Missions​

The Missions section contains the tools used to create, manage, and monitor flight missions.

From this section, users can:

  • Create a new mission.
  • View existing missions.
  • Edit mission details.
  • Monitor mission progress.
  • Access mission-specific actions and information.

Selecting a mission updates the map to display its associated flight path, waypoints, and operational details.

Controls​

The Controls section displays the drones, docks, remote controllers, and other connected equipment available within the dashboard.

This section allows operators to:

  • View connected devices.
  • Monitor device status.
  • Select a device for operation.
  • Access device-specific controls and information.

Device control panels provide access to various subsystems:

  • UAV Controls – Full flight control panel for the connected aircraft.
  • Drone Controls – Aircraft-specific settings and commands.
  • Drone LED Controls – Manage aircraft lighting and visual indicators.
  • Auto Controls – Automated flight control panel for mission execution.
  • Dock Controls – Manage dock cover, state, and camera views.

Bottom Panel​

The Bottom Panel provides the primary operational controls used during flight. It combines live camera feeds, manual flight controls, emergency controls, and mission execution into a single workspace, allowing operators to monitor and control the aircraft without leaving the Fly Dashboard.

Camera View​

The Camera View displays live video feeds from connected cameras, providing real-time visual awareness throughout the mission.

Depending on the connected equipment, the dashboard can display:

  • Dock Camera – Provides a live view from the dock, allowing operators to monitor the launch area and surrounding environment before, during, and after flight.
  • UAV Camera – Displays the live video feed captured by the aircraft, enabling operators to observe the mission area from the drone's perspective.

The camera feeds update continuously while connected and support seamless switching between available video sources.

Camera data

View and Camera Control​

Each camera feed includes controls for managing how video is displayed within the dashboard.

Available controls include:

  • Show or hide the camera panel.
  • Expand or collapse the camera view.
  • Switch between available camera feeds.
  • Resize or reposition the active camera view where supported.

These controls allow operators to optimize the workspace while maintaining visibility of critical flight information.

Emergency Stop​

The Emergency Stop button immediately stops the current aircraft operation when activated.

This control is intended for emergency situations requiring immediate intervention. Once activated, the aircraft responds according to its configured emergency behavior.

Warning: The Emergency Stop function should only be used when immediate action is required to protect personnel, equipment, or the surrounding environment.

Manual Controls​

The dashboard provides an on-screen Virtual Joystick for manual aircraft control.

The joystick enables operators to manually control aircraft movement, including:

  • Forward and backward movement.
  • Left and right movement.
  • Vertical movement (altitude).
  • Aircraft rotation (yaw).

Control inputs are transmitted to the aircraft in real time, allowing precise manual operation whenever manual flight is required.

Auto Sequence View​

The Auto Sequence View provides a step-by-step visualization of the automated mission.

Each task is displayed in the order it will be executed, allowing operators to monitor mission progress from take-off through landing.

As the aircraft completes each task, the sequence updates to indicate:

  • Completed actions.
  • The current active action.
  • Remaining mission steps.

This provides a clear overview of the mission workflow while allowing operators to intervene if necessary.
