Manual Land
For manual landing, move the left stick slightly below center, and slowly decrease Solo’s altitude. When it is a
few inches above the ground, hold the left stick fully back. Continue to hold the left stick fully back and hold the
controller’s Fly button until the props stop spinning.
4.4 In-Flight Data
Use the controller’s main data display to monitor Solo’s status in flight.
Figure 4.4.1: Controller In-Flight Data Display
1 Current altitude in feet
Keep Solo below 400 feet at all times. Solo returns to home if flown higher than 400 feet from home.
2 GPS signal status
Icon illuminates to indicate active GPS lock. GPS flight, pause, return to home, selfie and cable cam
modes require GPS lock. Solo automatically switches to manual flight when no GPS lock is available.
3 Percentage of Solo battery remaining
The controller provides notifications at 20% and 10% to end your flight. At 0%, Solo automatically
lands at the current position.
4 Signal strength between Solo and controller
Solo returns to home if the signal between Solo and the controller is lost during flight.
5 Controller battery level
The controller provides a notification to end your flight when the controller battery is low. When the
controller battery reaches 0%, Solo automatically returns to home.

Keep Solo within 2,000 feet from home at all times. Solo return to home if flown farther than 2,000 feet
from home.
