Corridor Missions Built for Power Lines

Draw the polyline along the transmission corridor, set the pass width, and Muninn generates parallel passes with a constant standoff from the line. Terrain-follow keeps altitude locked over rolling hills.

Built for this mission

Polyline in, parallel passes out

Trace the line in the editor. Set width and side-overlap. Muninn builds a lawnmower corridor with perpendicular offsets. Reversible per pass so the drone never flies empty legs.

Zoom per waypoint for insulator detail

Tap any waypoint, bump zoom to 3-5×, and the drone holds position longer to capture tight detail of hardware without descending to dangerous altitudes.

Terrain-follow over ridgelines

Transmission corridors cross hills. Constant AGL keeps GSD consistent over an entire multi-mile run.

Recommended settings

Starting values for this use case. Tune to your drone, your lighting, and your target.

Mission Type
Corridor

25-40m above conductor (safe standoff)
Corridor Width
2-3× the conductor spacing
Overlap
70% front / 60% side
Gimbal
-30° to -45°
Zoom
3-5× on approach waypoints for hardware detail
Capture
Hover & shoot for insulator detail; continuous for sag surveys

How to fly it

  1. 1Draw a polyline along the conductor route.
  2. 2Set corridor width 30m, altitude 40m, terrain-follow ON.
  3. 3Tap approach waypoints, set zoom 3× on insulator locations.
  4. 4Verify airspace (many corridors cross controlled airspace).
  5. 5Fly with obstacle avoidance ON; speed 2-3m/s max.

Questions we hear

Is this safe near energized lines?

Maintain minimum 10m standoff from any conductor (industry best practice; utility-specific rules vary). Muninn doesn't enforce safety distances — that's on the pilot-in-command.

Can I use this for pipeline surveys?

Yes. Same corridor mission type. Pipelines are typically flown lower (15-25m) and slower for leak detection.

What about BVLOS?

Long corridor runs often need BVLOS waivers (Part 107.31). Muninn plans missions that assume VLOS — you enforce the operational limit.
