Steep landing
The drone descends at a steep angle (35°).
The landing strip has the landing point at its centre, giving the drone the choice
of two approach directions. To avoid landing with a tailwind and overshooting,
the drone decides itself from which of these directions it will land.
Align the landing strip with the wind so that one of the approach directions results
in the drone landing directly into the wind.
Figure 3: Steep landing procedure, seen from the side
1. Home approach
2. Spiral up or down to between 50 and 75 m above landing spot
3. Circle to measure wind
4. Fly downwind
5. Steep descent to ground
Move and rotate the landing strip so that both approach directions are free of
obstacles (see your eMotion user manual).
