Home Position
The home position is set automatically each time the motors are started.
Please note the following points:
• The flight path back to the home position may not be a straight line, but it may
be curved in windy conditions.
• When the UAV is flown in Height-Mode (an H is shown in the upper right corner
of the Status Display) or in Manual-Mode (an M is shown in the upper right corner
of the Status Display) and the Link Loss Procedure is activated, the UAV will
automatically switch to GPS-Mode (a G is shown in the upper right corner of the
Status display) if a GPS signal is available.
• Should the connection between the CTR and the UAV be re-established during
the Link Loss Procedure, the UAV will immediately stop the procedure, enter the
flight mode selected on the CTR and follow any control input from the pilot.
Figure 3.11: New Home Position
It is possible to define a new home position while
the UAV is in the air.
To do so:
1. Push ENT at the Status Display.
You enter the shown menu.
2. Push the arrow RIGHT button one time to
highlight Navigation.
3. Push ENT.
You enter the shown menu.
New Home Position is highlighted.
4. Push ENT.
The new home position is set at the current location
of the UAV at the moment the ENT button is pushed
and you return to the Main Screen.
CAUTION: IN CASE THE LINK LOSS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN
ACTIVATED, IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO USE MANUAL-MODE.
BECAUSE THE UAV WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTROL THE HEIGHT,
USING GPS- OR HEIGHT-MODE, WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE
PILOT TO REACT CORRECTLY WHEN THE DATA LINK IS
REESTABLISHED AND THE LINK LOSS PROCEDURE IS
INTERRUPTED.
