Live Flight View

1.1 Drone Operations Center – Viewing Live Flights

Before you start:

The Live Operations feature in the Drone Operations Centre (DOC) allows you to monitor ongoing drone flights in real time. You can view live video streams, track drone positions on the map, and access essential telemetry such as battery status and GPS signal strength.

Before you begin, ensure the following:
• A pilot has started a flight linked to a mission in AirHub.
• The drone and controller have a stable internet connection for live streaming.
• You have the necessary permissions to view flights within the relevant workspace.

1.2 Accessing the Live View

1. From the main sidebar in the Drone Operations Centre, click on Live Operations.

2. The Live Operations interface will open, displaying a map and a side panel listing all currently active flights.

3. Click on an active flight from the list to focus on that specific drone.
   • The video feed and map view for that drone will appear, showing its real-time location and data.

1.3 Understanding the Live Flight View

The Live Operations screen is divided into key sections, providing a complete overview of the ongoing flight.

1.3.1 Video Feed

The central section of the screen displays the live video feed from the drone’s camera.

This view includes critical telemetry information such as:
• Battery level – displayed as percentage and voltage.
• GPS signal strength – including the current satellite count.

You can also record portions of the live feed for reference or reporting.
For a detailed guide, refer to the article: How to Record a Livestream.

Tip: You can resize the video feed or switch to full-screen mode for better visibility during operations.

The live feed overlays real-time flight data directly on the video, allowing you to monitor drone performance and situational context simultaneously.

1.3.2 Map View

The map provides a visual overview of the drone’s position and flight path.

To open or close the map view:

1. Click Map in the header to open the map in the main panel.

2. Click the Map button again to return to the video grid view.

The map shows:
• The real-time position of the drone, indicated by an icon displaying its heading.
• Mission data, such as pre-planned waypoints or defined flyzones.
• Annotations or map markers added during planning or the in-flight phase.

1.4 End of a Live Flight Session

The Active Flight Session automatically ends when the pilot completes the mission.
After the flight:
• The full flight log is automatically processed.
• Any recordings are stored in the mission’s permanent record.
• The mission can then be reviewed in the Missions section of the Drone Operations Centre.

1.5 Summary

The Live Operations feature in AirHub provides a real-time view of drone activity for both pilots and operations managers. By combining live video, telemetry, and mapping tools, it ensures complete visibility, situational awareness, and compliance throughout every flight.
