Landing point

[CarloJade]

Hi everyone,
just a question, the Breeze if there is a problem (wifi signal lost, battery end, etc..) always back to the take off / landing point?

thanks

No. If battery reaches 2nd warning it'll land where it is. But it is a very bad idea to let it get that far - people who are trying to preserve battery life cycles land way before last warning...

Loss of WiFi will initiate an RTH. Low battery will not initiate an RTH, but will auto land at present position on the second low battery alert.

Is possible to configure that low battery will make it RTH? would be very useful, even necessary in case of emergency.

No, if it did that there would be a much increased risk that it would just fall from the sky. You can't ask something that has barely enough power to keep itself hovering to then rise 60 ft into the air (the most power-intensive move a multirotor can make!) for obstacle avoidance and come speeding back to you - where is it going to get the power from to do that ?!

Most competent pilots bring their craft back to the landing zone before the first low battery warning. This gives time to ensure the landing zone is safe to use. If the landing needs to be aborted for some reason, there will be enough power remaining to safely land. It is also better on the LiPo batteries to avoid low voltage conditions.

The Breeze does provide a decent reserve at first warning of 20% battery level, a good point to initiate RTH if you haven’t yet, and land the aircraft.

ok good
