Landing
During the ight, relevant telemetry information can be viewed on the Status Display’s Main Screen, which is illustrated below:
There are several acoustic and visual warnings (visible at the bottom of the Status Display) which alert you to low battery charge,
or empty battery:
• First warning: ‘Battery weak, land soon’ and a vibration of the Intel Cockpit Controller. The audio warning is repeated
every 20 seconds.
→ The battery voltage is ~<= 14.4 V or the remaining maximum ight time is under 4 minutes.
• Second warning: ‘Battery empty, land now’ and a vibration of the Intel Cockpit Controller.
→ The battery voltage is ~<=14.1 V or the remaining maximum ight time is under 2 minutes.
The UAV must be landed immediately after this warning. When there is only one minute of remaining ight time
left, the Intel Cockpit Controller will vibrate every 10 seconds.
The UAV must be landed by the pilot! There is no auto-landing in case of low or empty battery.

1. Adjust the camera to a horizontal position.
2. Fly the UAV to your desired landing area at a safe height of at least 3 m.
3. Descend slowly to 1.5 m height and wait for the UAV to stabilize.
4. Center the right control stick, while moving the left control
stick about half way down to bring the UAV down.
4. Use the right control stick to compensate for horizontal
movements, and carefully move the left control stick down
to bring the UAV down.
5. Right before touchdown – at 0.2 to 0.3 m – move the left control stick down gradually until the UAV lands on the ground.
6. Stop the motors.
