When to use the Emergency Manoeuvres
You might need to use an emergency manoeuvre in these situations:
Presence of birds
Birds approach your drone out of curiosity, or they consider it a threat and attack
it.
• To try and escape an isolated incident, consider using the fast climb or de-
scent manoeuvres.
• To try and startle the birds and dissuade them from approaching your drone,
consider using the roll manoeuvre.
• In the even of a sustained attack, or a situation that may put the birds at
risk, land your drone.
Note: Consult with your local authority or wildlife conservation as-
sociation before flying in sensitive areas. Avoid flying near known
nesting sites, especially when young are present in spring or early
summer. Rather than disturb the birds, consider flying at a different
time of year or adapting your flight plan to minimise your impact on
wildlife.
Flight planning oversights
You have moved the home waypoint on uneven terrain, but you have not cor-
rected the landing altitude to compensate for the change in ground level under
the new home waypoint.
You think there is a risk of a hard landing for some other reason.
Unexpected wind or a flight planning oversight means that your drone will land
on water or in some other unsuitable place.
Consider aborting the landing, correcting the error, and landing again.
