3.11. LANDING
It is recommended to use a wide-open space as a landing spot (approximately 10 m
radius around the starting position should be free of obstacles).
3.11.1. Landing in GPS-Mode
Landing in GPS-Mode is recommended. The GPS quality indicated on the Status
Display and the touchscreen tablet must show at least 4 bars.
1. Activate the GPS-Mode.
2. Fly the UAV to a position above the desired landing area at a safe height of at least 3
meters.
3. Descend slowly to a height of 1.5 meters and wait until the UAV is stabilized.
4. Keep the right control stick centered, while carefully moving the left control stick
about half way down to descend slowly.
5. Right before touch-down – at 0.2 - 0.3 m – move the left control stick down
gradually until the UAV lands on the ground. While the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV is on
the ground with running motors, always keep the left control stick in the fully
downward position to avoid any unintentional take-off.
6. Keep the left control stick in the fully downwards position and use the right hand to
simultaneously press the START/STOP button on the CTR for at least one second to
stop the motors.
7. Follow the post-flight check (“POST-FLIGHT CHECK” on page 16) to safely switch
off and store away the complete system.
3.11.2. Landing in Height-Mode
1. Activate the Height-Mode.
2. Fly the UAV to a position above the desired landing area at a safe height of at least 3
meters.
3. Descend slowly to a height of 1.5 meters and wait until the UAV is stabilized.
CAUTION: BEFORE LANDING THE INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAV, ALWAYS
ADJUST THE CAMERA TO A HORIZONTAL POSITION TO AVOID
DAMAGING THE LENS ON THE GROUND.
CAUTION: LANDING IN HEIGHT-MODE IS FOR SKILLED PILOTS
ONLY.
