# Inspired Flight

## Getting Started <a href="#getting-started" id="getting-started"></a>

To ensure the gimbal steering for the 6X Series Sensors will work for Inspired Flight aircraft two things need to be checked:

* [ ] Verify the sensor firmware is v3.13.1 or higher
* [ ] Verify Inspired Flight compatibility settings have been applied to the aircraft.

## Manual Gimbal Control <a href="#manual-gimbal-control" id="manual-gimbal-control"></a>

To manually control the gimbal use the rocker wheel on the left hand side of the hand controller.

Pushing the wheel to the right will point the gimbal downwards (NADIR).

Pushing the wheel to the left will point the gimbal forward.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Finish Planning Mission&#x20;

Plan the rest of your mission as normal. The gimbal will change the pitch angle of the sensor at the waypoint and remain at that pitch angle throughout the rest of the mission.&#x20;

To add additional gimbal pitch changes use the same method between survey mission items, or plan a waypoint mission and add the gimbal change commands as desired.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Upload&#x20;

Upload the mission to the aircraft.&#x20;
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
