Review UAV Settings
===================

Use **UAV Settings** to inspect aircraft information, run pre-flight
procedures, manage safety behavior, and work with live controller parameters
and records.

**Navigation:** Menu > ``UAV Settings``

Before You Start
----------------

- Connect the aircraft first.
- Wait for parameters to load before expecting the full section set to become
  useful.
- Treat this area as aircraft-side configuration, not station-only
  preferences.

Steps
-----

1. Open **Overview** to review the aircraft summary, payload, battery level,
   GPS state, and firmware details.

   Step 1: UAV overview

2. Open **Pre-Flight** to access calibration workflows, sensor checks, and
   motor-test related tools.

   Step 2: Pre-Flight tools

3. Open **Safety** to manage battery failsafes, return-to-launch behavior,
   geofence settings, and arming checks.

   Step 3: Safety settings

4. Open **Parameters** to search, inspect, edit, and save controller
   parameter values.

   Step 4: Parameters editor

5. Open **Logs** to access the flight log download workflow through the
   aircraft hotspot when that service is available.

   Step 5: Logs page

6. Open **Flight Records** to refresh the records table and download or
   delete stored flight reports.

   Step 6: Flight Records

.. caution::

   Many controls in **Safety**, **Pre-Flight**, and **Parameters** change
   live aircraft behavior. Use them only when the aircraft is in a safe
   operational state.

Expected Result
---------------

The connected aircraft exposes its UAV-side pages, and you can inspect status,
edit controller settings, and review historical records from one settings
workspace.

Troubleshooting
---------------

- If sections stay empty or disabled, reconnect the aircraft and allow
  parameter loading to finish.
- If the **Logs** page cannot load, confirm the aircraft hotspot is enabled
  and the station is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network.
- If **Flight Records** is empty, refresh the table and confirm the aircraft
  has generated records in prior sessions.
