The LAND command causes the X100 to immediately terminate its flight plan and initiate a
normal landing sequence.
This sequence involves flying to its landing location and continuing to a point near the begin-
ning of the downwind leg (the circuit entry point), then orbiting while descending to a height of
75 m AGL (radius ~150 m). Once this height is reached, it completes the downwind leg and
the rest of the landing circuit.
The LAND command can be executed during cruise flight only.
The LAND command can also override the HOLD, HOME, LEFT, RIGHT and GO HERE
pattern.
When the LAND command is released (click the button again), following happens:
●
During cruise flight, the X100 flies to the next waypoint and continues its mapping process
according to the flight plan. The X100 will have skipped a part of the flight plan.
Never press LAND during the landing circuit
