Can anyone explain why the auto-land wouldn't cancel?  I had a lost signal at 8:20.1 and I activated RTH by flipping the left toggle switch a few times.  At 9:24.9 good signal had returned.  A bit later at 10:39.3 I tapped the red X to cancel the auto-land since the AC was close by.  Almost immediately it went back to auto-land.  I canceled it again at 10:56.6 and again at 11:23.3 and again at 11:49.5.  Each time it continued to auto-land.  I was able to use the control sticks to guide the AC to land right next to me so no problem but I don't know why it re-entered auto land mode after it was canceled so many times.  It obviously wasn't a battery issue as it had 54% at landing. This is the first time I've had trouble canceling RTH.

I never liked Auto Land on my Standard ... eventually when it kicked in at critical - it refused to allow me to alter the landing point as manual says you can do ... in the river it went.

I think if you try it within range, you'll be able to steer it down just fine.

It appears to me the auto-land was a function of the RTH.  You should have cancelled RTH.  RTH is cancelled by moving the S1 switch to ATTI.

if your drone is less than 20 meters away from you when you press the RTH button then it will land just where it is

I notice this actual conversation quite a bit between you two
