M ANUAL L ANDING
When ready to land, fly the H520 towards the launch/landing area. At an altitude of 12 ft/3.5M or higher,
lower the landing gear using the switch on the top right of the ST16S, placing the switch in the DOWN
position. Use the left altitude stick to slowly bring the H520 down towards the landing point (turning the
H520 nose away from the Pilot makes landing more intuitive on the right stick controls). After the H520
touches down, continue to hold the throttle stick down, until motors stop.
R ETURN TO H OME L ANDING
If at any time the H520 has been lost from Line Of Sight (VLOS), move the Flight Mode Selector (Switch 4
on the right side of the controller) to the full down position (HOME). This will activate RETURN TO HOME
Mode and the H520 will start an automatic return to the Launch point. Once visual contact is regained, the
aircraft may be placed back to Angle mode. This feature is particularly useful if the H520 is visually lost in
bright sunlight.
During RETURN TO HOME Mode the pilot may maneuver the H520 to assist in automatic landings. As the
H520 nears the ground the pilot should refrain from adjusting the controls as the H520 may tip over when
being maneuvered as the legs touch down. Return to Home Mode will cause an automatic landing; the pilot
should be prepared to use the throttle stick to shut down the motors, although the aircraft is expected to
disarm/shut down motors on its own.
Power off the H520 before powering of the ST16S.
Important Note: Using the landing gear switch, lower the gear prior to
attempting to land, landing gear will not automatically
deploy when manually landing the aircraft
Note: It is recommended to disable Obstacle sonar prior to landing. Move the OBS Avoid
(Switch 3) to the center position to deactivate OBS Avoid.
Important Note: Using the landing gear switch, lower the gear prior to
attempting to land, landing gear will not automatically

Note: Use the General Settings Menu to set the Return to Home altitude, ensure the flight
area is checked for hazards during prior to activating Return to Home Mode.
