Crabbing in telemetry

Posted by drone1000 on February 26, 2015 at 1:57pm

I've been reviewing tlogs from a recent outing and I am having difficulty finding evidence of the crabbing I observed while the aircraft was in auto flying waypoints.

Between VFR_HUD.heading, ATTITUDE.yaw, and GLOBAL_POSITION_INT.hdg, I'm not seeing what I would expect.  What devices best represent the vehicle heading vs ground course?

    I have answered my own question here.  The correct answer for others is:

    Vehicle heading (all seem equivalent):

    • VFR_HUD.heading
    • ATTITUDE.yaw
    • GLOBAL_POSITION_INT.hdg

    Ground Course:

    • GPS_RAW_INT.cog
