The recommended method of returning the vehicle in fixed-wing mode is described in the section
PAUSE (C): The vehicle will hold its current position. In Fixed Wing mode it will circle the current position
with a radius of 100 meters. While in pause mode, when there are no open dialogs, tapping anywhere on
the map will give you the ability to select "Goto location". When sliding to confirm the goto command, the
vehicle will proceed to the selected location. With the "Action" button the mission can proceed, or the flight
altitude can be changed.
ACTION (D): The action button becomes available when the vehicle is in HOLD mode (pause). When
tapping the action button 2 options become available. CHANGE ALTITUDE will present a slider on the right
side of the screen to change the vehicle's altitude. The minimum and maximum altitudes can be set in the
general settings under the Q icon. CONTINUE MISSION will resume the mission towards the next waypoint
indicated by a green color. If the option CONTINUE MISSION is not available you can resume the mission
by switching to MISSION mode using button E.
FLIGHT MODE (E): This button displays the current flight mode. By tapping this button a new flight mode
can be selected. Supported flight modes are HOLD, RETURN, and MISSION. Switching flight modes using
this method will not require slider confirmation. When a new flight mode is selected this will be activated
immediately.
VTOL MODE (F): This button indicates if the vehicle is currently in multi-rotor or fixed-wing mode. Tapping
this button will provide the option to switch mode. At altitudes higher than 100m above ground, or in strong
winds, it is not recommended to switch from fixed-wing to multi-rotor mode.
ARM/DISARM (G): This button will indicate the current armed state. When the vehicle is in flight (armed) this
button can be clicked and the emergency stop box will appear. When confirming the emergency stop all
motors will stop IMMEDIATELY. This procedure should only be used while the vehicle is on the ground or
as a last resort to avoid damage to people or property. Using this function during flight will crash your
vehicle and void your warranty.
WAYPOINT items: The waypoint items on the screen can be tapped. When tapped a dialog appears asking
if the vehicle should proceed to the selected waypoint. When confirmed the vehicle will proceed in a straight
line towards the selected waypoint. It will also immediately change to the altitude of the selected waypoint.
For vehicles equipped with many of the following items are monitored automatically and in some
cases prevented or corrected. However, DSPS runs as a non-critical system that is not required for flight and
could become deactivated. The following guidelines should be followed for all vehicles, also when
equipped with DSPS.

The operator should monitor the following:
The following should be monitored directly after takeoff while the vehicle is ascending vertically to its
transition altitude.

Operator action: LAND
The vehicle should takeoff in a straight line after the first few meters. If the vehicle starts "toilet bowling"
(circling up) the mission should be aborted and a must be performed.sensor calibration
