Autel Alpha - 2.7 Auto-return

Chapter 2 Flight Safety 17
Auto-return
The aircraft is equipped with an auto-return function. When the GNSS signal is good, once the
auto-return condition is triggered, the aircraft automatically returns to the home point and lands
to avoid possible accidents.
The aircraft provides three methods of activating the auto-return function: manual auto-return
activation, low battery auto-return activation, and behavior-based auto-return activation.
Note
 Home point: the landing point of the aircraft during an auto-
return flight. In the Autel
Enterprise App, you can set the home point of the aircraft as "Aircraft" or "RC". For more
information, see “
6.5.1 Flight Control Parameter Setting” in Chapter 6.
 If no home point is set in the Autel Enterprise App, the take-off point is used as the home
point.
 During an auto-
return, the control function of the remote controller for the aircraft is
disabled. In this case, you can quickly press the pause button " " on the remote controller
or long press it for two seconds or pull the pitch stick to pause or exit the auto-return
function and regain control of the aircraft. For more information, see “ 4.11.2 Take-
off/Return-to-Home Button and Pause Button” in Chapter 4.
Warning
 When the GNSS signal is poor, the auto-return function cannot be activated.
 If the obstacle avoidance system is disabled during an auto-return flight, the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles.
 If the home point of an auto-return flight is not suitable for the aircraft to land (such as
uneven grounds and crowds), please exit the auto-return function first, and then manually
assume control to land.
Manual Auto-return Activation
During the flight, you can long press the return-to-home button “ ” on the remote controller
for 2 seconds to manually activate the auto-return function.
Low Battery Auto-return Activation
During the flight, to prevent unnecessary risks caused by insufficient power of the smart battery,
the aircraft will automatically check whether the current battery level is sufficient based on the
aircraft's current position.
If the current battery level is only enough to complete the return journey, the Autel Enterprise
App will prompt a warning saying “The remaining battery is only enough for Return to Home.
The aircraft will Return to Home in 10s.” to reminder users to decide i to execute low battery
auto-return. If you choose to execute it or don't take any action within 10 seconds, the aircraft
will initiate low battery auto-return after 10 seconds.
