Sites and flights - WingtraCLOUD
Learn how to create sites and flights
Flights are organized under sites. The first step when starting a new project is to create a new site.
Create a new site
- Click on New site under the Sites tab to create a new site.
- Specify a site name and search for the location.
- Optional: Add any relevant project files (dxf, kml, json), add checkpoints or define your base location. This can also be done later when creating the fight plan or starting the processing.
- Specify the coordinate system for your site.
- Option 1: check if your desired coordinate system is in the list of published coordinate systems. Based on the site location WingtraCLOUD automatically suggests a published coordinate system.
- Option 2: import a custom coordinate system (.wkt or .wkt2 file format) or select a previously saved custom coordinate system.
- Option 3: define a custom coordinate system. Define a new transformation by adding a minimum of 3 points in a published and your custom coordinate system.
- Click on Save new site. You can now start creating flights for this site.
Create a new flight
- Click on New flight in the Flights tab to create a new flight.
- Fill in the required information:
- Give the flight plan a name,
- Select the flight date,
- Choose the site,
- Choose the sensor (can be modified later),
- Assign a pilot from your organization to the flight.
- Click on Create and can start planning your flight.
