Quick start guide
2.6 Landing
After finishing a mapping mission the drone will, by default¹³, return to the Home
waypoint and automatically initiate a landing sequence. During a Linear landing,
the drone will land in a straight line according to the process described in section
‘Linear landing’ on page 70. In case of a Circular landing the drone will land in a
circle according to the process described in section ‘The setup phase of a flight’
on page 37.
Disconnect the battery from the drone before picking it up. We recommend you
immediately import the images and flight data after each flight (see section ‘Im-
porting images and flight data’ on page 48) before putting the eBee back in its
case for storage. When disconnecting the wings, be sure to pull gently in the axis
of the wing struts to prevent damage to the wing struts. Check the wing struts for
any damage before putting them into the storage case. Remove the propeller if
you don’t plan on using the eBee for an extended period of time.
2.7 Potential in-flight errors
The drone can encounter two types of error messages while flying: In-flight warn-
ings and Critical failures. In-flight warnings typically indicate a dangerous situa-
tion such as a low battery or strong winds and typically result in a Security action
such as a return tothe Home waypoint. In-flightwarnings appear in blue or yellow
in the Flight Monitoring tab. Critical failures occur only when the drone’s ability to
fly is severely compromised, such as a loss of GPS signals or an empty battery. The
situation will be displayed in red in the Status section of the Flight Monitoring tab.
When a critical failure arises, the drone will immediately perform an emergency
landing.

drone
