• Once it reaches the Home waypoint (if in Circle Home Waypoint mode) the
drone will either:
– begin a Circular landing procedure and change to Circular Landing
mode, if 'Land' is selected in the 'After mission' list of the Setup Phase
tab.
– circles the Home waypoint and remains in Circle Home Waypoint mode
until a command is sent.
• After completing a landing procedure and detecting that it has successfully
landed, the drone changes to Idle mode.
• Turning on the remote control and setting the autopilot switch to 'manual'
will cause the drone to enter either Assisted Manual or Full Manual mode,
depending on the setting in the Flight Parameters tab²². Turning off the
remote control or setting the autopilot switch to 'automatic' will return the
drone to its previous mode.
• Clicking the 'HOLD POSITION' button in the Control Bar at any time will
cause the drone to start circling its current position and change to Hold
Position mode until it receives a new command from the Control Bar. Alter-
natively, right-clicking in the Map Area and selecting 'Hold here' will direct
the drone towards the selected position and then circle around that posi-
tion in Hold Position mode. This mode is also enabled automatically after
certain In-flight warning or Critical failure conditions²³.
• Clicking the 'LAND NOW' button in the Control Bar three times in quick suc-
cession will cause the drone to initiate a Circular landing procedure at its
current location with its motor disabled and change to Emergency Land-
ing mode.
