This guide will assume that the following setup steps have already been completed:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Assemble Aircraft&#x20;

Assemble the aircraft per manufacturer instruction.&#x20;

{% embed url="<https://docs.inspiredflight.com/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft>" %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Install Sensor

Install the sensor per manufacturer instruction.&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/9HXYTTHOy9JAVEW62hSy" %}
[Sentera Sensor Setup](/home/rtk-ppk-module/setup-and-installation/sentera-sensor-setup.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Install Module

Install the module per the manufacturer instruction.&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/CzqZ70QQoVMvOoBp8t78" %}
[RTK-PPK Module Installation](/home/rtk-ppk-module/setup-and-installation/rtk-ppk-module-installation.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connect Antenna to Aircraft and Module

Install the Antenna per the manufacturer instruction
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Setup Base Station

Assemble the base station per manufacturer instruction.&#x20;

Verify base station fix type being used:

* Self-Survey for **Relative Accuracy**.
* Known location for **Global Accuracy**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connect Base Station to Sentera Ground Radio

Connect the ground radio with the provided USB-C cable.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify Base Station Output

Verify the base station is configured for use with the Sentera ground radio
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Power Up Aircraft&#x20;

Power the aircraft on per manufacturer instruction.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify Session Start & Fix Type

Wait for the sensor to boot and start a session. The session start on the sensor is indicated by the LEDs on the sensor being solid green.&#x20;

Verify the GPS fix type using the external LED on the module or use the camera indicator icon in the upper right-hand corner of IGC.&#x20;
