Return to Home
The Return to Home (RTH)  function brings the aircraft back  to  the last recorded Home Point and lands when 
the GNSS signal is strong. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. If the 
aircraft successfully recorded the Home Point and the GNSS signal is strong, the RTH will be triggered when 
either Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft battery level is low, or the signal between the remote control device and 
the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal scenarios such as where video transmission is lost.
GNSS
Description
Home Point
20
The default Home Point is the  rst  location  where the aircraft received a strong or 
moderately strong GNSS  signal (where the  icon shows white). The aircraft status 
indicator blinks green quickly and a prompt appears in the goggles to conrm the 
Home Point has been recorded.
Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sucient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH 
can be initiated or canceled by the  remote control devices. After exiting RTH, users  will  regain control of the 
aircraft.
Low Battery RTH
When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft 
as soon as possible.
In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insucient power, DJI Avata will intelligently determine whether the 
current battery level is sucient to return to  the  Home  Point based on the current location.  Low  Battery  RTH 
is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be 
aected.
RTH can be canceled by the remote control devices. If RTH is canceled following a low battery warning, the 
Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft 
being crashed or lost.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend 
from its current altitude. The remote control devices can be used to alter the direction of the aircraft during the 
landing process. Pressing the accelerator when using the motion controller during landing can make the aircraft 
stop descending and  fly at the  current altitude to adjust  the horizontal position.  The aircraft will continue  to 
descend after releasing the accelerator.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically 
activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than 3.5 seconds.
The aircraft will y backwards for 50 m on its original ight route and enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft enters 
Straight Line RTH if the remote control signal is restored during Failsafe RTH. 
The response of the aircraft when the wireless signal is lost can be changed in the goggles. The aircraft will not 
execute Failsafe RTH if land or hover has been selected in the settings.
Other RTH Scenarios
A prompt will appear in the goggles and RTH will be initiated if the video download signal is lost during ight, while 
the remote control devices can still be used to control the movements of the aircraft.
