Understanding aerial mapping with the eBee RTK
6.9 Emergency Manoeuvres
Despite careful planning, unexpected situations might place people, property,
animals or your drone in danger, for example:
• Unexpected intrusions into your eBee RTK’s airspace by low-flying aircraft
or other UAVs.
• Flight planning errors.
• Unexpected intrusions into the landing zone.
• Birds approaching or attacking your drone.
• Unexpected changes in wind conditions.
Asa precautionary measureto be used only when absolutelynecessary, the eBeeRTK
has been programmed with a series of emergency manoeuvres:
• Land now
The drone immediately initiates a circular landing around a 30 m radius
waypoint at its current location.
• Abort landing
The drone aborts its landing, climbs up to a safe altitude and circles waiting
for a command. See section ‘Linear landing’ on page 86 for more details.
• Roll
The drone performs a roll along a linear flight path, then resumes its mis-
sion.
• Fast climb
The drone suddenly climbs with full thrust approximately 40 m then grad-
ually descends (at approximately -4 m/s) back to its initial altitude.
• Fast descent
The drone enters a spinning dive. It then pulls out if the dive, resulting in
between 15 and 30 m of lost altitude, and climbs gradually back up to its
initial altitude.
