Operation 3

In this operation, two missions have been defined, each consisting of a closed loop and a mark:

• Mark A: Triggers the Go To action to Mission 2.

• Mark B: Triggers the action to change to the Approach flight phase.

Note

The transitions between phases and basic actions to perform the operation have already been explained in Operation 1, so only the aspects specific to Operation 3 are detailed in this section.

Mark A to Mission 2

The cruise phase begins at the point defined as the Start Route.

When the aircraft flies through the first mission and reaches Mark A, the action to go to the second mission is triggered. For this purpose, the guidance program generates a path between the current location of Autopilot 1x (i.e. the point where the mark is placed) and the selected patch:

Operation 3 - Mark A to Patch A

When the aircraft arrives at the selected patch, it will continue flying Mission 2.

Operation 3 - Mission 2

Mark B to Approach phase

When the aircraft reaches the Mark B in the second mission, a phase change to the approach phase is triggered. Consequently, the guidance program will automatically generate a route to the runway.
