Auto Land

 

The Land flight mode allow an automatic landing bellow the current position.

This assumes the Home Location is set correctly and previously a basic PositionHold mode works perfectly using INS13, the preferred fusion algorithm for all GPS assisted modes.

Land feature can be used as a next command after a Return to base.

How to use

In normal condition the sequence should be like that:

  • Stabilize your multirotor above the place where you want to land,
  • Switch to Land flight mode,
  • Wait automatic descend.

After landing is done, do not switch to another flight mode like Attitude because the Throttle stick should still at middle range.

  • move the Throttle stick to minimum.
  • Disarm
