When you’re ready to end your flight, follow these steps to land:
» Fly a circle pattern above your landing area.
» Come in on a final approach, flying into the wind at
an altitude of 20 to 40 meters.
» When the plane reaches an altitude of 10 meters, set the throttle fully down to turn
off the motor and glide down
on a 15 to 20 degree down-pitch angle.
» When the plane is one meter above the ground, pitch up (flare) to land the Aero on
the body of the plane instead of the nose.

Manual Landing Automatic Landing
!
To land automatically at the end of the mission, the Aero requires the
mission to be configured with a specific pattern of landing waypoints
that gradually decreases the altitude so that the Aero can land safely.
For instructions on configuring automatic landing, see page 18.
