Executing a flight
2.6
Landing
After finishing a mapping mission the drone will, by default¹², return to the Home
waypoint and automatically initiate a landing sequence. During a Circular land-
ing the drone will land in a circle according to the process described in section
‘The setup phase of a flight’ on page 33.
Disconnect the battery from the drone before picking it up. We recommend you
immediately import the images and flight data after each flight (see section ‘Im-
porting images and flight data’ on page 43) before putting the
swinglet CAM
back
in its case for storage.
Remove the propeller if you don’t plan on using the
swinglet CAM
for an extended period of time.

Potential in-flight errors
The drone can encounter two types of error messages while flying: In-flight warn-
ings and Critical failures. In-flight warnings typically indicate a dangerous situa-
tion such as a low battery or strong winds and typically result in a Security action
such as a return to the Home waypoint. In-flight warnings appear in blue or yellow
in the Flight Monitoring tab. Critical failures occur only when the drone’s ability to
fly is severely compromised, such as a loss of GPS signals or an empty battery. The
situation will be displayed in red in the Status section of the Flight Monitoring tab.
When a critical failure arises, the drone will immediately perform an emergency
landing.
Caution:
We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the pos-
sible in-flight errors to have a better understanding of what happens
if they occur in the field. A full list of possible In-flight warnings and
Critical failures and the drone’s reaction to them is described in sec-
tion ‘In-flight warnings’ on page 131 and section ‘Critical failures’ on
page 141.
