AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION MODE VIA GCS
1. There are two types of Navigation modes:
Waypoint flying and
Mouse pointer flying.
2. The operation of the autopilot is by default set to waypoint flying.
3. The ground station software is required to change the navigation mode.
4. Waypoint Flying Mode: The plane will fly according to the pre-set flight path. When it has
reached its final waypoint, it will circle that point.
5. Mouse Pointer Flying Mode: To enable this mode, click "Click point‖
button as shown and use your mouse to click your designated waypoint on the
map. The plane will fly to that waypoint immediately and wait for your next
command by performing circling flight hold pattern.
6. Special Flight Mode Description: There are three types of special flight modes:
Return to Base (RTB),
Autopilot Deactivated (Idle) ,
Automatic Circling
7. You can set Channel 6 to a 3-position switch to select the Special Flight Modes.
8. The middle position of your three position switch is ―idle mode‖ which means no special
flight modes are active:
Pulse width of CH6
1000-1199μS
1200-1800μS
1801-2000μS
Function

Auto Circling
9. Return to Base (RTB): No matter what mode your autopilot is in, once RTB mode is
enabled, the plane will initialize RTB (Return to Base). Upon reaching RTB, the aircraft will
initiate a circling holding pattern.
10. Auto Circling: No matter in which mode, once Circling Mode is enabled, the plane will
perform flight holding pattern by circling the current waypoint immediately. The circle
radius is determined by the circle radius you have set. The default value of the circle radius
is 100 meters when autopilot is enabled.
11. Autopilot Deactivated (Idle): In this mode the autopilot is deactivated. You have full
control over your aircraft.

5. You can cancel Auto Take Off at any time by clicking ―Cancel‖ during the take off procedure.
