Pilot Proficiency and Flight Mode Transition Tests (Manual, FBWA, AUTO) Underway!

At Team Kartal Air, we prioritize pilot proficiency and seamless flight mode transitions just as much as our autonomous systems' reliability! During today's field operations, we conducted comprehensive trial flights switching between Manual, FBWA (Fly-By-Wire A), and Fully Autonomous (AUTO) modes to maintain the highest standard of flight safety. While reinforcing our pilot's flight command and reflexes, we evaluated override response times and the aircraft's aerodynamic behavior during emergency transitions. We continue our field preparations with a disciplined flight protocol tailored for SUAS 2026!
