The method 3400 also includes generating, at the processor, an initial trajectory profile based on the at least one waypoint and the set of operational rules, at 3404. For example, referring to
The method 3400 also includes identifying, at the processor, an impermissible flight condition associated with the initial trajectory profile, at 3406. The impermissible flight condition violates at least one operational rule of the set of operational rules. For example, referring to
According to one implementation, the impermissible flight condition is identified based on a flight time associated with the initial trajectory profile exceeding a particular flight time or a flight distance associated with the initial trajectory profile exceeding a particular flight distance. According to another implementation, the impermissible flight condition is identified based on a turn radius of a particular turn within the initial trajectory profile being greater than a threshold radius associated with capturing a hold.
