Quick conversion: 1m approx. 3 feet . Highest trees in this area are about 60 feet tall, divide by 3, gives me approximately 20 meters. Safe RTH altitude would be 30 meters. I get the highest obstacle by scanning around after take-off. Once I can see the horizon above the obstacle(s) (typically trees), I know the minimal height by checking the altitude on the screen, I then set my RTH 10 to 20 meters above that. I usually set 90 m. (approx. 180 feet) as my default RTH altitude, because to be honest, setting a safe RTH altitude on every flight is the last thing I would think of. |
