Return-to-Home (RTH) and Dynamic Home Point
Return-to-Home (RTH)
The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There
are three events that will trigger RTH procedure: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH.
GPS
Description
Home Point
The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the
GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the
GPS icon(
). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the
Home Point will be updated to your current position as you move around
and when the Aircraft Status Indicator ashes green.
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller (see RTH Button on P35 for more details) or the RTH
button in the DJI GO app when GPS is available to enable Smart RTH. With Smart RTH, you may
control the aircraft’s orientation to avoid collision when it is returning to the Home Point. Press the
Smart RTH button once to start the RTH procedure, then press the Smart RTH button again to exit
Smart RTH and regain control of the aircraft.
Low Battery RTH
Low Battery RTH is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point which may
affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to y back or land the aircraft immediately
when these warnings are shown. The DJI GO app will advise users to return the aircraft to the Home
Point when the low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point
if no action is taken after 10 seconds. User can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing on the RTH
button once. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current
aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically (cannot be canceled) if the current battery level can only support
the aircraft to land to the ground from its current position. Users can use the remote controller to
control the aircraft’s movement during the landing process.
The figure below describes the behavior of the Battery Level Indicator during different stages of
events.
