7. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 to 5
seconds which will automatically stop the motors.
You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the
aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control.
(1) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into
Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details.
(2) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or
rapidly during flight. Refer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details.
(3) Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information.
6.4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control
system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following
situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode:
(1) The remote controller is powered off.
(2) The remote controller is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must
have been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant Software).
(3) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller.
(4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially
reducing the distance the signal can travel.
(5) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.
Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in
the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode.
Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---- Automatic landing
The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may
be drifting during the descent and landing process.
Ready to Fly ---- Automatic go home and land
The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.
Home Point
When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as
the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being
able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.
