Ground take-off
Position Thermal on a flat, even, and clear surface.
Power it on, move at least 2m (6ft) away from Thermal and check that the
surroundings of the drone are absolutely clear.
Press the button on your Parrot Skycontroller 3, or tap the green “TAKE-OFF” box,
on the screen of your device.
Thermal takes off and stabilizes at 1m (3ft) from the ground, waiting for
commands from the pilot.
Hand launch
Be especially careful when you hand launch Thermal. This procedure is safe
provided you are not distracted or startled by an outside event with a live drone in
your hand: concentrate on what you are doing, but always stay aware of your
surroundings. Upon first opening of FreeFlight 6, from version 6.2, a hand launch
tutorial reminds you the following procedure. You can activate hand launch from this
tutorial page.
You can also activate the hand launch option from the
“Interface”
menu of
FreeFlight 6
“PREFERENCES”
(refer to the
“PREFERENCES – Interface”
section of this
guide for further information).
Power Thermal on and position the drone on your flat, open hand. On the
screen of your device, the green “TAKE-OFF” box is replaced by a blue “HAND LAUNCH”
box.
Android “Hand Launch” Screen
Press the button on your Parrot Skycontroller 3, or tap the blue “HAND LAUNCH”
box on the screen of your device. The drone’s blades start rotating slowly and the
screen of your device displays a hand-launch animation.
Briefly and briskly lift Thermal up and forward with your open hand: the drone
is airborne. It stabilizes, waiting for commands from the pilot.
