The RTH process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if the remote
controller signal is resumed. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH. Therefore, it is
important to set a reasonable failsafe altitude before each flight.
If the aircraft flies within a 20m (65ft) radius of the Home Point (take-off location) when RTH is
triggered, the aircraft will automatically descend and land at its current location and not at its Home
Point.
If the aircraft flies outside of the 20m (65ft) radius of the Home Point (take-off location) the aircraft
will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick when the
aircraft reaches an altitude of 20m or above during Failsafe RTH.
Smart RTH:
Use the RTH button on the remote controller when GPS is available to enable Smart RTH. During the
Smart RTH procedure, the aircraft returns to the last recorded Home Point, but you may control the
aircraft's orientation to avoid collisions. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process. Press
the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.
5.2 Take-off procedure
1. Set the DJI Lightbridge 2 remote controller to P-GPS mode using the flight mode switch on top.
Look at the current time and remember it to note it down in your pilot and STORMBEE logbook
after your flight.
2. If the mission requires ATC communication, now is the time to contact the appropriate ATC
service or other authorities to let them know (or ask for permission) to take-off with
STORMBEE.
3. Perform a final check of the communication and GSP status on tablet and verify DJI A3 LED on-
board STORMBEE is slowly blinking green. Position yourself approximately 5m from the drone
during take-off (and landing).
4. Start-up the STORMBEE motors and propellers by moving both control sticks inwards and
downwards. DO NOT TAKE-OFF just yet. Verify all propellers are rotating.
5. Before take-off, while the motors are spinning, press on the small map in the bottom corner
of the DJI app to switch between the “Google Maps” window and the camera feed window.
The Google maps window will maximize, and you should visually verify that STORMBEE ’s
location is still correct, but also that the Home Point is also set to that same location. This
Home Point location is the location to which STORMBEE will return in case of emergency or
when the pilot has activated the Return-to-Home function. If Home Point is ok, minimize the
Google Maps window by tapping on the minimized video feed window.
