Hello,

I have a Matrice 210 and I am using DJI Pilot to run Missions. Concerning the Height of the drone for Waypoints, if I input 50 meters, is this AGL or ATL?  


If I am in a mountainous terrain, I need to ensure my drone does not hit the mountain with flying its mission, so Height (elevation) input is critical, so understanding if the Height input field is referring to Above Ground Level (true elevation) or Above Takeoff Level (relative to the launching site) is of utmost importance.

Thanks.

Pilot doesn't have terrain awareness, so the only thing your aircraft knows is ATL, and not very well at that unless you have RTK (it is based on barometric pressure otherwise).
