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.

1. Height-Mode Activate
2. Manually control position
3.10.2 Loss of Automated Flight Control System (AFCS)
Loss of AFCS on Ground
In the event the automated flight control system fails to respond to inputs:
1. Land immediately
2. Visual Contact with Aircraft Maintain Through Landing

CAUTION: IN A SITUATION WITHOUT GPS SIGNAL, THE INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAS WILL DRIFT
