Automated drone missions enable autonomous flight and operation, significantly improving work efficiency, reducing labor costs, and enhancing safety. However, unexpected situations often arise during certain drone missions, requiring the addition of a temporary mission. How can we do this?
What is a "temporary mission" for a drone?
A temporary mission is a one-time mission planned and executed outside of a drone's regular missions, based on unexpected or temporary needs.
It differs from pre-established, scheduled routes or missions; it is typically issued on short notice due to an immediate event, unusual circumstances, or on-site instructions. This feature is only available in high-quality commercial or professional drone series, such as the Autel EVO MAX series and the Autel Dragonfish series.
How do I add a temporary mission to an Autel drone?
In the Autel EVO MAX and Autel Dragonfish series, the drone app can generate waypoint missions, polygon missions, automatic mission generation, and quick missions. Creating temporary missions, also known as quick missions, within a drone's original mission schedule allows for quick completion of unplanned drone mission decisions.
Quick Missions: You can create temporary quick missions while executing other missions, and you can stack multiple subtasks for increased flexibility.

Things to note when creating temporary missions for a drone:
Clearly define the mission objective, determine the mission type, check the drone's status, set mission parameters, and verify that the route avoids obstacles and no-fly zones.
Always prioritize the safety of personnel and equipment, and avoid flying in crowded areas or inclement weather.
Prepare spare batteries, memory cards, and an emergency return plan.
Use drone ground station software to monitor drone status in real time.
In the United States, drone pilots must comply with regulations such as the FAA and obtain a drone pilot license.
