Low Battery RTH
When the intelligent flight battery is too low or there is not enough power to return home,
the user should land the Aircraft as soon as possible to avoid damage to the Aircraft or
other dangers.
In order to prevent unnecessary dangers due to insufficient battery power, when the Aircraft
battery power is low, the intelligent low battery return home function will be automatically
triggered. According to the remaining power after returning, there are 2 situations after
returning:
Must pay attention to the flight altitude when the battery is low. Avoid hitting obstacles
due to the low flying altitude when returning home with the second-level low battery.
The remaining power after returning is related to the return distance, wind speed, and
wind direction.
First-level low battery: the Aircraft returns to the point 98 feet(30 meters) above the take
off point and hover. After hovering, you can continue flying the Aircraft at a height of 98 feet
(30 meters) and within a radius of 98 feet(30 meters).
Second-level low battery: the Aircraft will fly directly from the current altitude to the point
98 feet(30 meters) above the Home Point and then descend to the ground.
When the Aircraft returns home 98.43 feet(30 meters) away, if the RTH altitude is set
(before flight), the Aircraft will ascend to the altitude already set before returning to the
take-off point, if the current altitude of the Aircraft is lower than the RTH altitude. The
Aircraft will return to the Home Point from the current altitude,if the current altitude of the
Aircraft higher than the RTH altitude.
The Aircraft is not equipped with obstacle avoidance function. Please judge the flight
status reasonably during the flight. Avoid obstacles in time, and set the corresponding
flight and return altitude according to the flight environment.
