AutoLand Mode
To activate AutoLand mode, press and hold the HP/AL
(bind) button for 3 seconds. The aircraft will immediately
turn to align itself for an upwind approach and maneuver
to an altitude of approximately 65 ft (20m) and 295 ft (90m)
downwind from the takeoff point. The aircraft will then turn
into the wind and begin the nal approach.
NOTICE: As a safety precaution, AutoLand mode will
not initiate when the aircraft is below an altitude of
approximately 20ft (6m).
IMPORTANT: When the AutoLand feature is activated, the
aircraft will immediately respond to the command. If your
aircraft does not respond immediately, GPS signal may
have been lost. In this case, the aircraft will have to be
own back and landed manually.
The aircraft will land into the wind near your takeoff point
and come to a complete stop.
Press and release the HP/AL (bind) button or change ight
modes at anytime to abort the AutoLand approach.
IMPORTANT: AutoLand mode does not have the ability to
avoid obstacles. Ensure that your ying location is free
of obstacles (trees, buildings, etc) before you start ying.
Remain alert during the AutoLand process in the event it
becomes necessary to assist during or abort the landing
approach.
CAUTION: Never attempt to catch a ying air-
craft in your hands. Doing so could cause severe
personal injury and damage to the aircraft.

Assisting AutoLand Mode
No stick inputs are required when AutoLand is activated. However, stick inputs can be used
at anytime during AutoLand to avoid an obstacle, lengthen the landing or smooth the nal
are on landing.
Aileron stick:
Use the aileron stick to steer left or right to avoid an obstacle or make slight
heading adjsutments when on nal approach. When aileron is given, the throttle will
automatically advance slightly. Release the aileron stick and the system will take over
full control.
Throttle stick:
Use the throttle stick to set a throttle max point. When elevator stick input is given, the
throttle will go to the max point.
Elevator stick:
Up elevator: Allows the aircraft to stretch its approach by gaining altitude. When
up elevator is applied the throttle increases to the throttle max point that you have
established with the throttle stick.
As the aircraft passes over the runway threshold, pull the throttle stick fully back and
use up elevator to are the aircraft to a soft touch down on the runway. This is the best
practice for landings and will help prevent accidental propeller strikes.
Down elevator : Allows the aircraft to stretch its approach without gaining or losing
altitude. When down elevator is applied, the throttle increases to the throttle max point
that you have established with the throttle stick without gaining or losing altitude. As
soon as the right stick is centered, the system will take over full control again.
Example: When landing into a headwind, set the throttle stick to approximately
3/4 power. When the elevator stick is moved to extend the landing approach, the
power will only progress to 3/4 power. Set to a higher throttle point in stronger
wind or lower throttle point in low wind.
