Abstract: A system and a method for estimating coverage area and viewing area for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle 104 (UAV 104) is disclosed. It involves creating an operational map of a home location's area coverage 302 pertaining to a complex terrain based on no fly zone polygon data and elevation data, based on the information of the area coverage provided by a navigation unit. The map is created using multiple sample points and validating said sample points by checking whether or not they are at no fly zone or exceeding maximum AGL. Moreover, the operational map is drawn by using home location as a center point. Further, it involves determining and generating coverage area and viewing area of the UAV based on the operational map. It also discloses a feature of checking take-off suitability.
