USER MANUAL

INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAS

• If the UAV performed a direct landing because of a lost data link connection, and

if you are having difficulties locating it, the last known position of the Intel®

Falcon™ 8+ UAV (which is stored in the Status Display of the CTR) might be

helpful.

Situations With Varying GPS Reception

• If no GPS reception is available, when a data link connection is lost, the Intel®

Falcon™ 8+ UAV will use Direct Landing.

• If GPS reception is lost during an active ComeHome procedure, the Intel®

Falcon™ 8+ UAV will immediately switch to Direct Landing.

• If no GPS reception is available while the motors are started, the home position

cannot be set. If GPS reception becomes available later during the flight, the

home position will be set to the location where a valid GPS signal was first

received. This home position will be used for the ComeHome procedures. If this

does not suit the flight situation, chose Direct Landing.

If the system has landed itself during a Link Loss Procedure, the propellers will

continue to turn for 10 seconds when the UAV is already on the ground. After this the

motors will be switched OFF automatically.

3.6. FLIGHT MODES

The Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV can be operated in three different flight modes:

• GPS-Mode

• Height-Mode

• Manual-Mode

Flying in GPS-Mode is easiest as it provides the highest level of automation.

Nevertheless, there will be situations where no GPS signal is available and therefore it

is necessary that every pilot is capable to safely control the UAV in Height-Mode. We

strongly recommend taking part in an Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS operator's training, to

learn the basics of flying under qualified supervision. If you are interested in attending

a training course, contact your local sales representative.
