If the current flight altitude is below 20 meters, it will 10 meters <...
Chapter 2 Flight Safety During the obstacle avoidance process, the aircraft will hover in place until a critically low battery landing is triggered. In this case, please manually take control of the aircraft in advance. Do not fly the aircraft out of visual sight range in places with serious electromagnetic environment interference, avoiding failure to manually taking over the aircraft when the aircraft encounters obstacle and brakes after the loss of connection and return is triggered.
Geofence system Autel Robotics has developed a geofence system for its drones to ensure safe and legal flights. This system can dynamically update airspace restriction information worldwide. In different restricted zones, the drone's flight functions will be restricted to varying degrees. The geofence system also supports unlocking restricted zones.
All information should be based on local laws and regulations. For temporary airspace control, Autel Robotics will promptly obtain the corresponding regulatory notices and upload the relevant airspace restriction information to the geofencing system.
