The Flight tab is a drone’s live telemetry surface: instruments and actions on the left, a full map on the right. It has no video; video, the HUD and the Skill Bar live on the Cockpit tab.
The action panel and the map menu command a real aircraft. Read Safety before you arm.

A drone's Flight tab with the action panel and map.

​
Layout

Select a drone and open Flight. The left column holds, top to bottom:
  • HUD: artificial horizon with pitch ladder and roll arc, speed and altitude tapes, heading, battery, GPS, mode, armed state, signal and flight timer. You can detach it to a separate window.
  • Telemetry readout: ALT, SPD, HDG and VS, with satellites, battery, mode and a link silent warning when telemetry stops. Its controls open the telemetry deck.
  • Action panel (below).
  • Health and info: the sensor health grid, health percentage, voltage, satellites and fix type, then vehicle, identity and statistics.
  • RC input, when the drone has no ExpressLRS CRSF lane, and the FC status text feed.
The map on the right shows the drone, its path, home and the active mission. The handle on its left edge hides or shows the telemetry column.

​
Action panel

Every button is a Skill with the same confirmation, hotkey and stale-link rules as the cockpit. See Skill bar and confirmations and Default hotkeys. Hotkeys and gamepad buttons work on the Flight tab too, but stick control streams only from the Cockpit tab.

​
Map actions

Right-click the map for the context menu.
  • Fly Here (shortcut G), Fly Here at Alt…, Loiter Here and Land Here: shown when the drone is connected, armed and in Guided, Auto, Guided NoGPS or Loiter. PX4 copters also get Orbit Here….
  • Point Camera Here, Clear Camera ROI, Trigger Camera, Set Home Here, Set EKF Origin and Add Rally Point when connected.
  • Add POI Marker, Copy Coordinates and Measure from Drone.
Fly Here opens a confirmation with the target’s latitude, longitude, distance and ETA, and an altitude field (2 to 120 m, starting at the current relative altitude). Hold Hold to Confirm for 1.5 s to send it.

​
Mission progress

During a mission the map shows the mission path and progress, with an overlay to pause or resume. Plan missions on the Plan tab; see Mission planning.

​
Extensions

Extension surfaces installed on a drone appear as extra node tabs. Install extensions from the drone’s Agent → Extensions page; see Install extensions from Mission Control.
