Fail-safe (Alarm 4)

In case of a level 4 alarm, the aircraft performs a controlled vertical descent maintaining low roll/pitch

angles all throughout (aircraft stays horizontal). Example of alarm 4 is given below.

Figure 8-12 Fail-safe mode triggerred by a level 4 alarm (here, geofence breached).

8.8.2.3 Waiting pattern definition

When tapping the

HOLD

button, the aircraft will perform the following waiting pattern until instructed

a mode change:

240 m

140 m
