67| USER MANUAL
AUTOLAND
The Autoland function will command ALTA to hover for 10 seconds and will then land
in place. This only occurs if Autoland is selected as the Loss of Signal (LOS) event in
the ALTA App, or at the end of an LOS Return-to-Home (RTH) event. If ALTA is above
the app-configurable Safe Height setting, ALTA will first descend to the Safe Height
at the Maximum Descent Rate. After reaching this height, ALTA’s descent will slow to
the Autoland Descent Rate until landing.
HOME SWITCH
The home switch has three settings, Set Home, RTH Off and RTH On.
SET HOME
Set Home sets a new home point at ALTA’s current position. This could be useful for
setting a point away from the initialization point, such as if the ALTA were started
underneath an overhang or a tree.
A new home point can only be set within 20 meters of ALTA’s starting point.
Momentarily moving the Home Switch to the Set Home position sets a new home
point. When a new home point is set, the Status Light will turn white to indicate the
new home point was successfully set.
RTH OFF
This is the normal switch position and does not initiate an RTH command.
RTH ON
This manually initiates the RTH command. In a manual RTH, the pilot maintains
control of height while the SYNAPSE will command ALTA’s position over the ground
to the home point.
ARM ENABLE SWITCH
The optional Arm Enable Switch allows for added safety while working around and
flying ALTA by disallowing arming during ground handling or disarming during
flight. To set up an Arm Enable Switch, refer to Mapping Channels or the ALTA User
Manual.
If used, the Arm Enable function should be mapped to a three-position switch.
