AutoLand Mode
IMPORTANT:
As a safety precaution, AutoLand mode will not function when
your aircraft is below an altitude of approximately 20 ft (6m).
To activate AutoLand mode, press and hold the HP/AL button (button A) for
three seconds.
Hold 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 final approach.
• The aircraft will land near the takeoff point and come to a complete stop.
• Press and release the HP/AL button (button A) or change flight modes at
anytime to abort the AutoLand approach.
Abort
CAUTION:
Never attempt to catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing
so could cause severe personal injury and damage to the aircraft.
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 flown back and landed manually.
IMPORTANT:
AutoLand mode does not have the ability to avoid obstacles.
Ensure that your flying location is free of obstacles (trees, buildings, etc) before
you start flying. Remain alert during the AutoLand process in the event it
becomes necessary to assist or abort the landing approach.
Assisting AutoLand Mode
IMPORTANT:
AutoLand mode does not have the ability to avoid obstacles.
Ensure that your flying location is free of obstacles (trees, buildings, etc) before
you start flying. Remain alert during the AutoLand process in the event it
becomes necessary to assist or abort the landing approach.
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 final flare on landing.
Aileron stick
: Use the aileron stick to steer left or right to avoid an obstacle
or make slight heading adjsutments when on final 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 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 flare 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 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.
As an 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 advance to 3/4 power. Set to a higher
throttle point in stronger wind or lower throttle point in low wind.
