drone may exceed the maximum safe collision speed. For this reason, it is important to avoid high-speed
collisions when flying in MAN mode, as they might result in loss of or permanent damage to the aircraft.
CONTROLLING THE ELIOS 3 IN MANUAL THRUST IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES PROPER PILOT
TRAINING. FLYING IN MANUAL THRUST ALLOWS EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM SAFE COLLISION
SPEED.
4.5.4. SPORT ATTI
When in need of flying faster, ELIOS 3 allows the pilot to boost its airspeed with SPORT mode, which increases
the speed of the aircraft. Using SPORT mode will automatically switch on ATTI mode. Please note that in this
mode the drone may exceed the maximum safe collision speed. For this reason, it is important to avoid
high-speed collisions when flying in SPORT ATTI mode, as they might result in loss of or permanent damage to
the aircraft.
CONTROLLING THE ELIOS 3 IN SPORT MODE IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES PROPER
PILOT TRAINING.
4.5.5. Sport mode Assist—SPORT ASSIST
The SPORT ASSIST mode is to be used when you are in need of increasing the speed of the drone but not in
need of going to the drone’s maximum speed. In SPORT ASSIST mode the drone operates based on its optical
sensors coupled with its IMU. This mode provides both high speed and stability. Please note that in this mode
the drone may exceed the maximum safe collision speed. For this reason, it is important to avoid high-speed
collisions when flying in SPORT ASSIST mode, as they might result in loss of or permanent damage to the
aircraft.
