# Corridors

The Corridor is designed for conducting linear missions along a restricted path such as pipelines, roads, and railway tracks, restricting the drone from breaching the corridor. With FlytBase, an operator simply inputs the location on the dashboard and the drone automatically follows the assigned corridor path to reach the desired location. This feature simplifies and streamlines the process of surveying and inspecting linear assets, increasing the safety and efficiency of operations.

## Creating a Corridor

There are two ways to set up the corridor on the FlytBase dashboard:

1. Creating a Corridor on the dashboard.
2. Importing a KML/KMZ file as Corridor.

### To create a Corridor on the dashboard

* Navigate to **Zones** and select the **corridor.**
* To add a **corridor** mission click on the![](/files/0pcGbic6SsUbcLbY3F9N)icon.
* Write the **Name** for the corridor mission the&#x6E;**, right-click** on the map where the operator wants to mark the first location and repeat this process to create a corridor zone.
* Then Adjust the **Corridor width** of the corridor (between 10m-500m) according to preference.

* To add or delete markers, go to the **markers** section and select![](/files/CunNDdUpKdRbSRObuScy)or ![](/files/SZDzph8jCFqgeSA96JDZ)respectively. The operator can even spot that particular marker by clicking on![](/files/B8n8nWpv1HkzDl2LH7jk).

{% tab title="Importing KML file for Corridor Mission" %}

### To import a KML/KMZ file

* Navigate to **Zones** and select the **corridor.**
* To add a **corridor** mission click on the![](/files/zrQ8c2LVtxicphCq2leL)icon.
* Write the **Name** of the corridor mission.
* Select **Import** and from the browser select the corridor mission the operator wants to import.

Then Adjust the **Corridor width** of the corridor (between 10m-500m) according to preference.

To delete markers, go to the **markers** section and select<img src="/files/ZMnLGkE81FUSJZGVUT7P" alt="" data-size="line">. The operator can even spot that particular marker by clicking on![](/files/sRz6gPF6wfIoX1Oj36zT).
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

* When the operator allows **Follow corridor for RTDS & RTSL actions** the drone will go through to corridor only to perform RTDS & RTSL.

## Execute a Corridor

To execute the mission the operator has to navigate to the **Operations** drawer and go to **Drones.**

* Select the drone and click on the **arrow** next to it.

* Click on **Launch to location.**

* Select **Zone Launch,** by this the operator can the drone to the location through the corridor.

<figure><img src="/files/zh3X4tTI6kEbotYJD6lD" alt=""><figcaption><p>Go To Location: Zone Launch</p></figcaption></figure>

* **Right-click** on the map to select the position for the drone to go with customized speed, altitude, and in-flight action for that flight.
  1. Approach Speed: This setting determines the speed at which the drone will travel towards the target location. It can be adjusted between 1m/s to 30m/s.
  2. Approach Altitude: This setting determines the altitude at which the drone will approach the target location. It can be adjusted between 1m to 60m.
  3. +Add en-route action: With this feature, the operator can program the drone to perform certain actions while en-route to the target location. Available actions include:
     * Aircraft yaw wrt flight path
     * Capture image on distance interval
     * Capture image on time interval&#x20;
     * Capture image
     * Start video recording
     * Gimbal pitch&#x20;
     * Hover&#x20;

By adjusting these settings and en-route actions, the operator can ensure that their drone approaches the target location at the desired speed and altitude while performing the necessary actions.

* In the on-arrival settings, select an action to be performed when the drone arrives at the designated location:
  * Gimbal pitch
  * Capture image&#x20;
  * Play speaker recording
* Once the desired on-arrival action has been selected, click on the "Launch" button to initiate the mission.

{% hint style="success" %}
The final action is set to hover in the FlytBase dashboard.

Corridors serve as an efficient solution for conducting inspections in hard-to-access areas, such as power lines, highways, and pipelines. By utilizing drones, operators can efficiently survey specific areas and gather critical information.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not have this feature on your dashboard, that means it is not in your current package, please feel free to contact <mark style="color:blue;"><support@flytbase.com></mark> if you find this feature useful and would like to add it.
