GeoLink Auto Landing
1 Auto Landing
1.1 How it works
Model will land at the position where the feature was engaged. Firstly, the model will stop it's movement. Secondly it will start to descend until it will reach approximately 2 meter altitude. From this point it will be descending rather slowly and only in case that the model is not moving in other way. If the model seems to be unstable it is important to perform the Compass Calibration or Correction angle adjustment.
Once the model will land the collective pitch will remain at a neutral position (0° deflection). The motor will not turn off automatically. Collective pitch is controlled by the unit all the time. If disengaging the feature make sure the main rotor is not spinning anymore to prevent unexpected change of the Collective Pitch. Once the feature is disengaged the Collective Pitch and all the control will return to the normal behavior.
The swashplate can be controlled all the time as if Coaxial mode is enabled - to perform a slight corrections if needed.
Rudder control is identical as with a normal flying mode.
To enable this feature it is required to tick the CheckBox in the GeoLink window/Aid tab.
In order to make the landing as safe as possible set the Landing Speed value. We recommend to start with a low values and increase it to a speed that is suitable for the model. With too high value the landing might be too hard. Default value of 25̤̤% should work well for the most models.
1.2 Usage
The feature can be engaged at any given time by a command from your radio. It is important to decide in which way the feature can be engaged as there are two options.
- To engage with Stabi function - in this case the feature is engaged when programmed Stabi function is engaged. This mean you do not need to assign any other switch than when used for e.g. Stabilisation mode
- To engage with assigned GeoLink channel - it is required to assign F: GeoLink Auto Landing function in the General/Channels to an available channel.
