RTK Module

The RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) Module panel displays positioning data from the RTK GNSS receiver fitted to compatible aircraft and docks. It provides centimetre-level position accuracy when an RTK signal is active.


Overview

RTK positioning requires the aircraft’s RTK receiver to receive correction data from a base station or NTRIP network. When corrections are available, the dashboard shows an RTK fix status, and positioning accuracy improves significantly compared to standard GNSS.

This panel activates when an RTK-capable device is selected and the RTK receiver is detected.


Fix Status

Status Meaning
No Fix GNSS signal acquired but no RTK corrections
Float RTK corrections received; accuracy improving but not yet fixed
Fixed Full RTK fix achieved; centimetre-level accuracy

Satellite Count

The satellite count row shows how many GNSS satellites are currently being tracked by the RTK receiver. A higher count improves fix reliability and accuracy.

Position State

The position state indicator summarises the quality of the current position estimate:

  • Excellent — Fixed RTK, 8+ satellites
  • Good — Fixed RTK, 6–7 satellites
  • Marginal — Float fix or fewer than 6 satellites
  • Poor — No RTK correction; using standard GNSS

RTK Source

The panel also displays the active RTK correction source:

Source Description
Dock base station DJI Dock integrated RTK base
NTRIP Network-based RTK correction stream
Custom base User-provided base station

Configuration for the RTK source is in Settings > Dock > RTK Configuration.
