Description
hey folks!
This is my second request to improve the Survey capabilities with MissionPlanner and Arduplane.
To get a good GroudSampleDistance you have to fly at low altitudes (~100m) and the MissionLines very close to each other, about 30-50m. With a regular plane you have a turning radius about 75m. If you want to get a good turn, the lines must have a distance of 150m. This is far to much!
Screenshot of a testmission. You can see that the turning circle is much bigger than the line distance. The plane has big problems to fly on its flightpath!!
But you could jump over to the next or even more.
This could be a solution. Not perfect but way better than the regular mission design. What do you think?
Edit:
ReMapHI has a better description for the flight pattern, it is called zamboni pattern.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Survey/Grid mission-generation code and review how MissionLines are ordered; done means the generated flight pattern supports the proposed zamboni-style jumps and produces a usable turning path for closely spaced survey lines.
