If at anytime the aircraft loses radio connection, the aircraft will activate
Holding Pattern mode until it re-establishes radio connection. If radio

AutoLand mode.
If radio connection is lost while the aircraft is already in Holding Pattern Mode,
the aircraft will circle for approximately 35seconds and then set up to land as in
AutoLand mode.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle hold or quickly lower the
throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the
