In this lesson we will introduce the feature that we are most interested in for research purposes: autonomous flight. Autonomous flight allows for complex preset missions to be set up, so that extra attention can be paid to monitoring the flight status and surroundings. We start off running simple missions that are fully autonomous, but will eventually work our way up to pattern flying and surveying.

I'm order to fly in auto mode GPS needs to be mounted, calibrated, and recognized by mission planner. Before engaging your quadcopter be sure to check the amount of satellites located in the preflight tab shown below
