18.17.3. Sensor Calibration

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does GIM stand for in terms of calibration?

   Hint

   Think about the main sensors we adjust for accuracy.

2. 2.

   What are two components you should inspect during a pre-flight checklist?

   Hint

   These are essential for proper operation during flights.

3. 3.

   What is the main goal of sensor calibration?

   • To increase the drone's flight time
   • To ensure accurate data collection
   • To simplify data storage

   Hint

   Consider why we adjust the sensors.

4. 4.

   True or False: Calibration should only be performed before a flight.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the importance of maintenance after the flight.

5. 5.

   You are preparing for a drone flight for civil engineering work. Describe the full pre-flight checklist you should follow to ensure all calibrations are done accurately.

   Hint

   Think about all the components that affect flight performance.

6. 6.

   If a drone shows signs of poor image quality after several flights, how would you troubleshoot and determine if sensor calibration might be an issue?

   Hint

   Consider what could affect image quality from flight to flight.
