Carefully read pages 12, 13 and 14 in the manual. They explain (in pretty good detail) the three types of RTH - Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH and FailSafe RTH. (There's some more info about RTH on page 26 of the manual.)
There is one point that isn't emphasized very heavily - if the RTH is started (whether by you or by an automatic method), if your Phantom 3 is reasonably close to you (something like within 50 - 60 feet) when RTH starts, your Phantom 3 will attempt to land right where it is. Obviously, if your Phantom 3 is currently on the edge of a cliff or the edge of some shoreline, this can be a problem. Just be aware of this possibility - which I could not find in the manual.
The great majority of what you need to know about RTH *is* in the manual - see the pages referenced above. |
