Flight Stitching

During flight operations, connectivity interruptions can create multiple flight records. We've added the ability to stitch those flight records together. When flights are stitched together, a new flight is created, and existing flights are archived.

Flight Stitching Overview

Before flights can be stitched together into a single flight, the system runs a series of checks to make sure the request is valid, and the result will be accurate.

If you use TX Logs: Flights should be stitched together before creating a TX Log. If the individual flight segments were already associated with a TX Log, the newly stitched flight will not be associated with that TX Log.

Requirements

• Users must be an Organization Admin to request the feature and to use it.

  • Organization Admins:  Complete this form to request activation of Flight Stitching.

• Flights occurred after January 14, 2026.
• You have selected between 2 and 10 flights.
• Flights have not been stitched before or have had a failed attempt to stitch.
  • If you stitched flights together before and missed some flight segments, archive the stitched flight and unarchive the segments, and repeat the stitch.
• Flights were not manually created.
• All selected flights must be:
  • Flown by the same pilot.
  • Use the same drone.
• Timing & Order

  • Each flight segment is at least 1 second long.

  • Flight times do not overlap.

  • Gaps between flights are no more than 1 hour.

  • Total combined flight time is no more than 1 hour.

• Location & Movement

  • Takeoff locations are within 20 miles of each other.

• Altitude & Flight State

  • Each flight must end and begin while the drone is in the air when stitching between flights.

    • “In the air” means the drone’s altitude is slightly above ground level or below ground level when launching from an elevated position.

Instructions

1. Navigate to Flights & Missions.
2. Review the Requirements above.
3. Select between 2 and 10 flights.
   Look for flights with this marker
4. Click the actions drop-down menu, select Stitch, and then click Go.

What to Expect

After stitching completes, a new combined flight will appear, and the original flights will be archived for reference.

If Stitching Fails

• Stitching can fail if one or more requirements are not met or if the required flight data is unavailable.
• If the Stitch process fails, users will receive an error message related to the issue.
