Return to Home
Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system 
is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. 
The aircraft automatically flies  back to  the Home Point  and lands  when Smart RTH is initiated, the 
aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during ight.
GNSS
Description
Home 
Point
10
The default  Home Point  is the  first location  where the aircraft received a 
strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home 
Point can be updated before takeo as long as the aircraft receives a strong 
to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point 
cannot be updated.
Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sucient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. 
Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping   in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the 
remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping   in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button 
on the remote controller. 
Smart RTH includes Straight Line RTH and Power Saving RTH. 
Straight Line RTH Procedure: 
1. The Home Point is recorded.
2. Smart RTH is triggered.
3. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, the aircraft 
adjusts its orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and ies to the Home Point. If the 
current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft ies to the Home Point at the current 
altitude. 
b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, 
the aircraft adjusts its orientation and ies to the Home Point at the current altitude.
c. If the  aircraft is less  than 5 m from the Home  Point when the RTH procedure begins, it lands 
immediately.
4. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a 
prompt will appear in the app for users to select a landing option.
Power Saving RTH Procedure:
During Straight Line RTH, if the distance is farther than 480 m and the altitude is more than 90 m above 
the RTH altitude as well as more than 290 m above the takeo altitude, a prompt appears in DJI Fly 
asking the user if they wish to enter Power Saving RTH. After entering Power Saving RTH, the aircraft 
adjusts to an angle of 14° and  ies to the Home Point. The aircraft lands when it is above  the Home 
Point and the motors stop.
The aircraft exits from power saving RTH and enter Straight Line RTH in the following scenarios:
