For Agriculture

The version of the DynaFlight™ system that is specifically designed for agricultural applications is called DynaFlight-AirAgII™. Its basic components are described in detail under DynaFlight™ system; here we explain how DynaFlight-AirAgII™ actually works in the field.

Method

During start-up on the ground, the pilot selects a customer, chooses a new job and then selects a swath width. Once in the air, the pilot will spray his first line - anywhere on the field, which establishes the baseline and automatically sets up all the rest of the lines needed to cover the area. This is all recorded on the DynaFlight-AirAgII™ system's map and displayed on the DynaViz™ display. The pilot can then fly those lines in whatever pattern that he or she chooses. As the pilot flies down the Roadway line, the FlexGuide™ fills the line in with black, showing that line has been covered. At the same time, the bars at the top of the DynaViz display provides an instant view of the coverage.

Without ever looking away from the windshield, the pilot can control the entire DynaFlight™ system via the buttons installed on the ErgoGrip™ control grip which replaces the standard grip. Any information the pilot requires, such as customers, jobs, patterns, navigation, rotating moving maps and so on, can be displayed by the touch of these button.

Once back on the ground, the pilot plucks the CompactFlash™ computer card from the onboard processor and plugs it into the ground PC, thereby transferring all data about the day's work — job maps, degree of coverage, volume deposited, and so on — to the AirAg Office management software, facilitating production of reports, maps, invoices and all the other details of the air agriculture business.

Using the DynaFlight™ system is that simple.

Advantages

Since pilots do not have to look from the windshield to the light bar and then down to a screen in the cockpit to determine their accuracy, the DynaFlight-AirAgII™ system is safer.
Should the pilot miss a spot or need to end the job before completion, the line(s) not yet done will remain illuminated on the display, so finishing that job (even on a different day) becomes a simple matter of filling in the line(s). No more flying in circles while looking at a moving map display trying to figure out what has been missed!
Pilots have the flexibility to respond quickly to sudden changes in conditions because they know it is easy to pick up where they left off, thanks to the FlexGuide™.
In choosing their own pattern of application, rather than being forced to fly a pre-set pattern, pilots can reduce turn times, as well as make fewer inefficient teardrop turns, thereby reducing stress from G-loading on themselves and their aircraft.
The greatly improved accuracy of the system enables pilots to lay down wider swaths, further increasing efficiency by reducing turn times and length of time per job, which is cost-effective.
DynaFlight-AirAgII™ maintains a permanent flight record of all applications for up to three seasons.
