Failsafe settings

DJI drones

Failsafe settings such as "Return home altitude" and "Action on the loss of RC" can be configured in the route parameters menu.

Return home altitude will be used by the drone in case of a failsafe event.

If the current drone altitude is lower than the Return home altitude, the aircraft will adjust its nose direction to face the home point. It will go to a specified return home altitude before returning home.

If the current drone altitude is higher than the Return home altitude, the aircraft will adjust its nose direction to face the home point and fly home at its current altitude.

Action on loss of RC can be the following:

1. Home - the drone returns to the home point;
2. Continue - the drone continues the uploaded route;
3. Do not modify - the drone will act in accordance with settings in the Native software.

Maneuver the aircraft, to avoid any obstacles, when returning home.

Note!!! A complete list of failsafe actions can be found and configured in the Native software of the drone.
