How did your trip help the environment you were in? Get to know restorative tourism, which is not only harmless - but also helps nature and local communities during the trip. Food for thought for sand trips
In the diagram: the guidance system for the pilot. The right screen shows an optimal route to bypass the obstacle; The black arrow shows the desired flight direction along the green route. The algorithm examines in real time the priority of the green route over the red routes that were previously marked as alternatives. The middle screen shows the optional landing gear (red dots) and the plane itself (black dot in the center). The left screen shows the pilot the marker he needs to follow to reach the optimal runway on the optimal route.
