FLIGHT CONTROLLER MODES
OPERATING ALTA 6
ALTA 6 has three primary flight control modes which are selected using the Mode
Switch: Manual Mode, Height Mode, and Position Mode. Position Mode includes two
control styles that can be selected in the ALTA App per user preference (Classic and
Kinematic). ALTA 6 has an assistive Orbit Mode which is available when Position
Mode is active. ALTA 6 also has two emergency control modes, Return-To-Home
and Autoland, which are available only during certain situations. For additional
information, refer to the sub-section associated with each emergency control mode.
WARNING
Height Mode and Position Mode are assistive only and
are not a replacement for pilot skill and ability. Pilots
should be proficient in Manual Mode flight in order
to react to emergency situations as required.
CAUTION
Always center the control input sticks on the radio
controller when switching between control modes to
prevent unexpected movement of the ALTA 6.
MANUAL MODE
In Manual Mode, ALTA 6 will only stabilize its attitude. At neutral control input
(middle pitch and roll stick position), ALTA 6 will attempt to remain level. Throttle
control is direct.
