TrueView Training Day 1 Workshop Overview Mission Planning & Flight Ops

Описание: Join GeoCue Support Technician Eian Davis for Day 1 of our training workshop—recorded at the GeoCue headquarters—focused on mission planning and safe, repeatable flight operations with TrueView LiDAR payloads. This session covers a practical hardware overview (TrueView payload options, mounting, storage/USB best practices), PPK base station requirements and processing options (Single Base, SmartBase, PP-RTX), and control point/target strategies for accurate results (2D targets vs the Accuracy Star). Eian then walks through core mission-planning parameters—line spacing, altitude, scan angle, side lap, and planning around vertical objects to avoid “data holidays”—including how to use GeoCue’s mission planning spreadsheet and DJI Pilot 2. You’ll also learn how to connect to the TrueView Web UI, manage payload settings (profiles, proximity mode, lever arms), troubleshoot system status, follow key safety considerations (KP index/space weather, sun angle for imagery), perform the required heading alignment maneuver, and field-check/backup your data with trajectory QC and LP360 archiving tools.
