Question regarding RTH altitude.
Situation: You're at the top of a, say, 300' hill where the drone's RTH location is established, your drone's RTH altitude is set for 200', and you fly it to the bottom of the valley where it loses RC contact.
Question #1: Does the RTH altitude setting relate to height above ground level where it loses contact, or does it relate to its RTH location, meaning that it would climb to 200' above the top of the hill (500' above the bottom of the valley)?
Question #2: If it relates to height above ground level where it loses contact, then what will it do when it gets to the 200' level on the side of the 300' tall hill?
Question #3: Conversely, although there would theoretically be no danger of trouble as in the above hypothetical, if the situation were reversed and you were flying the drone from the bottom of the valley to the top of the hill, would it rise to 200' above the top of the hill, and when it reaches the RTH location, would it be flying 500' above the ground before it begins to land?
Question #4: How does terrain follow relate to these situations? In the original example above, would follow terrain keep the drone 200' above the rising side of the hill as it is returning home? And, it is my understanding the terrain follow does not work in reverse, that it does not follow the terrain when going down a slope. |
