Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) Technology

Flight Modes

At any time during a ﬂ ight you can switch between the 3ﬂ ight modes or use Panic

recovery to get your aircraft to a safe ﬂ ying attitude. Change between ﬂ ight modes

by changing the ﬂ ight mode switch position.

Beginner Mode (position 0) Green LED on Aircraft

• Envelope limit: Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and

down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne.

• Self-leveling: when the pitch and roll controls are returned

to neutral, the aircraft returns to level ﬂ ight.

• Stability assisted takeoff and landing.

• Throttle based climb and descent.

Intermediate Mode (position 1) Blue LED on Aircraft

• Natural Flight Experience: In normal training ﬂ ight conditions, the pilot

experiences natural AS3X

ﬂ ight for smooth handling and outstanding precision.

• Large Flight Envelope: The pilot is only prevented from entering

extreme ﬂ ight conditions outside the training ﬂ ight envelope.

TIP: When ﬂ ying Intermediate Mode, the Apprentice STS will automatically be in

beginner mode when below 100 feet. The Blue LED will still be shown.

Experienced Mode (position 2) Red LED on Aircraft

• Natural Flight Experience: The pilot experiences natural AS3X

ﬂ ight for smooth handling and outstanding precision.

• Unlimited Flight Envelope: No limit on Pitch and Roll angles (airframe limited).

Panic Recovery

This function is intended to provide you with the conﬁ dence to continue to improve

your ﬂ ight skills. If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in an unknown or

uncomfortable attitude in any ﬂ ight mode:

1. Press and hold the Bind/PANIC button on the transmitter and release the control

sticks. The aircraft will immediately pull out of a dive and roll wings upright and

level.

IMPORTANT: The aircraft will recover to a safer attitude even if sticks are held

while holding the PANIC button. However, release the control sticks for the quickest

recovery.

2. Release the PANIC button and continue your ﬂ ight.

CAUTION: The Panic Recovery function will not avoid obstacles in the

aircraft ﬂ ight path. Sufﬁ cient altitude is required for the aircraft to return to

straight and level ﬂ ight if the aircraft is upside down when the panic

function is applied.
