If visual contact or FPV signal is not maintained
1. Mode Switch POSITION
2. Home Switch RETURN TO HOME

AMPLIFICATION
An FPV Loss of Signal (LOS) can occur if the aircraft flies out of range or if it
flies behind an object that interrupts the signal. Maintaining visual contact is the
preferred method to reestablish control of the aircraft, either with the pilot seeing
the aircraft, or by the use of a visual observer.
Yawing the aircraft can help signal reception if the body of the aircraft is blocking the
line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
If FPV signal or visual contact cannot be maintained, setting the Mode switch to
Position Mode and enabling Return-to-Home can be used to bring the aircraft back
to signal reception range.
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and avoid other aircraft,
people, or obstacles. Always maintain direct line of sight with ALTA
8 during flight, use visual observers as operations require, and
follow local regulations regarding see-and-avoid requirements.
