Landing; Potential In-Flight Errors - senseFly EBEE RTK Extended User Manual

Executing a flight

4.6 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 86. 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 50.
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 61) before putting the eBee RTK 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 RTK for an extended period of time.
4.7 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 to the Home waypoint. In-flight warnings 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/GLONASS 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.
