By disabling this option the drone will simply initiate a landing at its current location rather than head home once it
reaches 10% power. As always though you need to make the call with each flight, as there could be times when it’s
better to leave Smart Go-Home enabled. The Go app also monitors the power required to get the aircraft back to the
home point and will initiate a return to home automatically if Smart Go-Home is enabled.
5. Check the failsafe height and home point every
flight
If the drone loses signal from the controller or the pilot initiates the Return To Home feature it will climb to a
predetermined altitude before heading to the home point. You should always check the area you’re flying in and make
a best guess as to what would be the safest altitude for the drone to return at without hitting an obstacle. The
temptation is to set the maximum allowed height but you may be in a situation where battery power is low or flying to
that altitude could present other dangers to your
drone or to other air users. It’s better to set an altitude that puts you
well clear of any obstacles without having to fly to max altitude.
