What's in this release

NEW

All Landings are Now Cancellable

You can now cancel all landings associated with emergency states.

  • Previously, you could not cancel the landing if the drone initiated an automated landing due to a low battery or an emergency state.
  • Now, if the drone begins landing automatically, you have the option to cancel by selecting Stop

[warning]Choose to cancel an automated landing at your own risk—you are responsible for the potential loss of the drone and/or serious bodily harm and property damage. [/warning]
