If FPV signal or visual contact cannot be maintained, setting the Mode switch to Position 
Mode and enabling Return-to-Land can be used to bring the aircraft back to signal reception 
range.

It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and avoid other aircraft, people, or 
obstacles. Always maintain direct line of sight with ALTA Pro during flight, use 
visual observers as operations require, and follow local regulations regarding 
see-and-avoid requirements.
