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.
Figure 3.10: The Link Loss Procedures (Continued)
Direct Landing
In case the connection between CTR and UAV
gets lost, the UAV will stop and start a controlled
descend at 1.5 m/s at its current position until it
lands. If no GPS signal is available, the UAV will
always use Direct Landing.
Please note that in a situation without GPS sig-
nal, the UAV will drift with the wind while
descending.
