Performance analysis of loiter and auto mode of quad-copter using mission planner

In the past few years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) had increased drastically because it was very helpful in the military, scientific and civilian sector. The UAV especially Quad-copter have many abilities and consist with flight modes that can be used Stabilize, Loiter, Auto, Circle, Return to launch. With technology today’s, Loiter and Auto mode are widely used in various areas. Those modes can be configured using firmware like Mission Planner. However the accuracy and stability of these modes is questionable due to several payload and specification of Quad-copter. Therefore, this project was investigated the efficiency and accuracy of Auto Mode then were investigated the stability of Loiter Mode. The Quad-copter is developed and configured using Mission Planner and tested at several different criteria. The error between the algebra and set parameter was calculated. The performance of Loiter mode is in good condition at Altitude 15 meter and above. For Auto mode, the performance of Quad-copter is not really efficient if many the Quad-copter required to turn in so many angle. From the data analysis, the people can know the level of stability, accuracy, and efficiency of Quad-copter thus can reduce the accident of Quad-copter.
