The drone will automatically launch itself and start flying according to the flight plan. When it has
finished, it will return to the home point and land. You can also abort the mission (for example when
you see it might hit something or someone) by hitting the ‘home’ button next to the power button on
the controller. To ensure a safe landing, it is preferred that you do not let the drone land all by itself
but that you “catch” it from the air. This is done as follows:
When the drone is hovering above the home point and starting its descend, control the descend by
steering in the opposite direction. In other words: the drone is automatically landing by flying down
and you want to steer it back up so you can control the speed of the landing. If you steer up as much
as it is going down, it will hover (see explanation and figure below). The goal is to make it hover just
above the person who will catch it (see figure). Pro tip: make sure you are standing with your back to
the sun so you have no trouble seeing the drone when you manually fly it or try to catch it.
