When it is time to land the aircraft, either activate
AutoLand mode or land the aircraft manually.
AutoLand Mode (BNF with FPV)
To activate AutoLand mode, press and hold the HP/AL
(bind) button for 3 seconds. The aircraft will immediately
turn to align itself for an upwind approach and maneuver
to an altitude of approximately 65 ft (20m) and 295 ft (90m)
downwind from the takeoff point. The aircraft will then turn
into the wind and begin the fi nal approach.
NOTICE:
As a safety precaution, AutoLand mode will
not initiate when the aircraft is below an altitude of
approximately 20ft (6m).
IMPORTANT:
When the AutoLand feature is activated, the
aircraft will immediately respond to the command. If your
aircraft does not respond immediately, GPS signal may
have been lost. In this case, the aircraft will have to be
fl own back and landed manually.
The aircraft will land into the wind near your takeoff point
and come to a complete stop.
Press and release the HP/AL (bind) button or change fl ight
modes at anytime to abort the AutoLand approach.
IMPORTANT:
AutoLand mode does not have the ability to
avoid obstacles. Ensure that your fl ying location is free of ob-
stacles (trees, buildings, etc) before you start fl ying. Remain
alert during the AutoLand process in the event it becomes
necessary to assist during or abort the landing approach.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to catch a fl ying
aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause
severe personal injury and damage to the aircraft.

Landing
Assisting AutoLand Mode (BNF with FPV)
No stick inputs are required when AutoLand is activated. However, stick
inputs can be used at anytime during AutoLand to avoid an obstacle,
lengthen the landing or smooth the fi nal fl are on landing.
Aileron stick
:
Use the aileron stick to steer left or right to avoid an obstacle or make
slight heading adjsutments when on fi nal approach. When aileron
is given, the throttle will automatically advance slightly. Release the
aileron stick and the system will take over full control.
Throttle stick
:
Use the throttle stick to set a throttle max point. When elevator stick
input is given, the throttle will go to the max point.
Elevator stick:
Up elevator
: Allows the aircraft to stretch its approach by gaining
altitude. When up elevator is applied the throttle increases to the throttle
max point that you have established with the throttle stick.
As the aircraft passes over the runway threshold, pull the throttle stick
fully back and use up elevator to fl are the aircraft to a soft touch down
on the runway. This is the best practice for landings and will help prevent
accidental propeller strikes.
Down elevator
: Allows the aircraft to stretch its approach without gaining
or losing altitude. When down elevator is applied, the throttle increases
to the throttle max point that you have established with the throttle stick
without gaining or losing altitude. As soon as the right stick is centered,
the system will take over full control again.
Example:
When landing into a headwind, set the throttle stick to
approximately 3/4 power. When the elevator stick is moved to
extend the landing approach, the power will only progress to 3/4
power. Set to a higher throttle point in stronger wind or lower
throttle point in low wind.
