Reading the flight display

The plane is armed in a left bank, flying at 18 m/s and climbing. A PreArm check has failed earlier. The screen shows all of it at once: the horizon is banked, the mode is big on the top left, and the message is on the bottom.

  1. Wait 5 seconds.

    QHOVER: the first lamp on the screen of the TX15 shows this flight mode. The second lamp on the screen of the TX15 shows ARMED, and it is amber. The TX15 screen bank is at most -19 degrees. The TX15 screen airspeed is at least 17.5 m/s. PreArm: Throttle (RC3) is not neutral: the newest message line at the bottom of the screen of the TX15 says this, in the colour of its severity.
