Setting geofences (Airpeak Plus exclusive)

What is a “geofence”?

Flight restrictions such as flight area or maximum altitude can be defined as geofence zones for each project.
Warnings are displayed on the flight screen in the “Airpeak Flight” App when the aircraft approaches the boundary of a geofence zone while in flight.
