Return to launch

Return to launch (RTL) commands the

copter to achieve a minimum altitude of 15

meters, return to the launch point, hover for

five seconds, and land. Use RTL to end your

flight automatically.

Autonomous mode

Fly a fully autonomous mission using a

computer or Android device as a ground

station. When switched into autonomous

mode, the copter will automatically perform

the mission and report data back to the

ground station.

Flight safety

Your copter has powerful motors and high-speed propellers. Never place your hands near propellers

while the motors are armed or the safety button displays solid red. Always press and hold the safety

button until it displays blinking red before handling.

Always fly in an open area away from people and buildings; do not attempt to fly indoors or in a confined

space. Do not fly over people, near airports, or in any situation that could pose a hazard to those around

you. Always fly within your line of sight and in compliance with local regulations. Your copter will not

avoid obstacles on its own. As the operator, it is your job to recognize and avoid obstructions while

flying. Always follow the preflight and postflight steps in the order described in this manual and the

flight checklist, and remain attentive at all times while flying.

Environmental factors, such as wind and GPS irregularities, can cause instability in flight. Your copter will

attempt to compensate for these factors by automatically landing if it detects an unsafe flying condition

due to loss of RC signal, loss of GPS signal, or low battery. To avoid potential hazards due to

environmental factors, identify the boundaries of your flying area before takeoff, and recover the copter

manually by switching into stabilize mode if it moves outside your designated flying area. If you observe

any inconsistent behavior, land, and consult the troubleshooting guide at 3dr.com/learn.

Always use an RC transmitter as a primary or backup control system when flying. Ensure that the

transmitter is turned on any time the copter is powered. If contact with the transmitter is lost during

flight, the copter will land and display a blinking yellow light. If the copter is more than 2 meters (6.5

feet) from the launch point, it will return to launch (RTL) before landing.

Autopilot-positioned flight modes (loiter, autonomous, and return to launch) require an active GPS

signal. If GPS signal is lost during flight, the copter will land and display a blinking blue and yellow light

with a high-high-high-low tone. Always choose an unobstructed flying area to improve signal strength.

When the battery reaches 25% of its remaining charge, the copter will land and display a blinking yellow

light with a quick repeating tone. If the copter reaches the low battery limit during a mission, it will return

to the launch point before landing.
