15. Flight Modes
Flight Mode Descriptions
Loiter mode is optimized for precise movements and to hold station in latitude,
longitude, altitude, and heading.
If the aircraft is moving and you release the joystick the aircraft will stop and
hold station at the location the aircraft was at when you centered the joystick.
Position mode is optimized for larger movements compared with Loiter. The
aircraft will hold station in latitude, longitude, altitude, and heading.
If the aircraft is moving and you release the joystick the aircraft will decelerate
and hold station at the location when the aircraft stops moving.
This mode is recommended for normal landings and for landing after an
autonomous mission. When activated, the aircraft automatically returns to its
Launch position and lands. The Launch position is the original takeoff location of
the aircraft.
The IF1200A automatically returns to the launch site as a failsafe when
the battery voltage gets too low to continue flight; visually monitor the
battery level in QGC and replace the battery conservatively to mitigate
risk.
