What is the Control Station (CS) primarily used for?

The Control Station (CS) is primarily utilized to control the flight path of the small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS). This is the central hub from which the pilot operates the drone, providing input for navigation, altitude, speed, and maneuvering. The CS is equipped with various controls and displays that enable real-time monitoring and adjustments to ensure safe and effective flight operations. It facilitates the pilot's ability to direct the sUAS towards specific locations and manage its actions based on the mission objectives.

While storing flight logs, communicating with passengers, and monitoring weather conditions are important aspects of sUAS operations, they are not the primary functions of the Control Station. Instead, those tasks might involve additional tools or systems that support the overall mission but do not define the main purpose of the CS itself.
