.. _no-gps-or-airspeed: | ||
|
||
============================== | ||
Flying without GPS or Airspeed | ||
============================== | ||
|
||
Generally, most features in ArduPlane rely on two assumptions: | ||
|
||
* The plane can determine where it is in the world, generally with the use of a GPS | ||
* The plane can determine its airspeed, either through a synthetic estimate or through a dedicated airspeed sensor. | ||
|
||
The default parameters for ArduPlane assume that the above statements are true. | ||
Much of the wiki is written assuming you have a GPS. | ||
In the special case that you want to fly without either of these, | ||
such as using just MANUAL and FBWA for initial flights, then follow this guide. | ||
|
||
Recommended Parameters | ||
====================== | ||
|
||
* Disable stall prevention with :ref:`STALL_PREVENTION<STALL_PREVENTION>` set to 0 | ||
* Disable GPS's with :ref:`GPS1_TYPE<GPS1_TYPE>` set to 0 | ||
* Disable airspeed with :ref:`ARSPD_USE<ARSPD_USE>` set to 0 | ||
* Force DCM with :ref:`AHRS_EKF_TYPE<AHRS_EKF_TYPE>` set to 0 | ||
|
||
Limitations | ||
=========== | ||
|
||
:ref:`SERVO_AUTO_TRIM<SERVO_AUTO_TRIM>` won't work - this requires a velocity estimate. Although it's disabled by default, you will have to rely on manual trimming. | ||
|
||
Most navigation modes won't be allowed, including AUTO, FBWB, and RTL. | ||
|
||
:ref:`AUTOTUNE <automatic-tuning-with-autotune>` is not possible because it requires the vehicle to be flying faster than :ref:`AIRSPEED_MIN<AIRSPEED_MIN>`. | ||
To tune your aircraft without GPS and airspeed sensor, you must do it manually. | ||
