METHOD FOR OPTIMISING THE ORIENTATION OF A REMOTE-CONTROL DEVICE RELATIVE TO A FLYING OR WHEELED DRONE

The remote-control device (16) comprises an antenna for the radio link with the drone, and a touch screen (20) displaying an image captured by the camera of the drone. The method comprises the steps of: a) determination of the active antenna (28b); b) determination of the device model used; c) search, in a table of an applicative piloting software, for information of relative orientation with respect to the active antenna with respect to the device body; d) display of the image on the touch screen so that the top of a scene captured by the camera of the drone appears (A) to the user at the bottom of the screen (20) if the orientation of the antenna with respect to the device body does not correspond to the direction (D) of the drone, and appears (B) to the user at the top of the screen (20) if the orientation of the antenna with respect to the device body corresponds to the direction (D) of the drone, so as to produce an anti-natural display (A) leading the user to return the device (A′), hence placing the antenna in the direction (D) of the drone.
