To avoid sudden changes
in altitude when switching from
autonomous mode to stabilize
mode, ensure that the left stick
is set to the center position.
Fly a brief test flight in
stabilize mode to verify
that all controls (throttle,
yaw, roll, and pitch) are
responding normally.
Use the ground station to view
IRIS’ status on the Flight Data screen.
For more information about using a ground
station, visit 3drobotics.com/iris/info.
IRIS will take
off and begin
the mission.
1
Perform a pre-mission
test flight.
Set the switches to stabilize
and follow the preflight
steps shown on page 13
and the Flight Checklist.
Wait to arm until you see
the blinking green light.
2
Arm in
stabilize mode.
3
Switch to autonomous
mode (AUTO).
4
Raise the left stick slightly
to initiate the mission.
When the mission is complete
and IRIS has landed, use the
transmitter to switch to
stabilize mode before
disarming and proceeding
with the postflight steps.
5
Switch to stabilize mode
before disarming.
To recall IRIS during a mission,
use the transmitter to switch
to stabilize mode and land
manually. Or switch to RTL,
and automatically return to
the launch point.
