Flying the eBee X
• The ground sensor must be able to accurately detect the height above the
ground. Ensure that it is clear of dirt or other obstructions and do not at-
tempt to land using the ground sensor through fog or thick haze.
Caution: Attempting a landing on sloped terrain, the top of a roof or
the edge of a cliff orany other terrain that is not flat will likely result in
false detection of the height above the ground during the approach
and may result in damage to the eBee X. In particular, landing down-
hill may cause a large overshoot and should always be avoided.
Caution: Landing between tall obstacles is not recommended; they
may disturb the GNSS signals your
eBee X
needs to be able to navi-
gate.
Caution: If the drone is forced to land downwind in strong wind con-
ditions, or with certain Warnings or Critical failures active, it may not
be able to slow enough during its descent. It will likely overshoot the
landing spot and land at a high speed, potentially resulting in dam-
age.
If a landing is aborted before completion the drone will turn on its motor in full
thrust and gain altitude while continuing in a straight line in its approach direc-
tion. Once the altitude of 40 m/ATO (130 ft/ATO) is reached the drone will turn
towards Home and continue climbing until it reaches Home. It then continues
circling until it receives a further command.
Caution: Do not abort a landing if there are large obstacles beyond
the landing spot, as the drone will continue flying in a straight line
after an abort sequence while it gains altitude and may collide with
those obstacles.
Caution: Aborting a landing after a low battery Warning is not rec-
ommended; the drone may not have enough power to attempt a sec-
ond landing.
