US Patent 10210905 Remote controlled object macro and autopilot system

A flight path management system manages flight paths for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight path management system receives a sequence of controller inputs for the UAV, and stores the sequence of controller inputs in a memory. The flight path management system accesses the memory and selects a selected section of the sequence of controller inputs corresponding to a time period. The flight management system outputs the selected section to a playback device in real time over a length of the time period.
