land at the launch point

Set the RTL switch to ON to end your flight and return

IRIS to the launch point automatically. Ensure that the

RTL switch is set to OFF before takeoff.

RTL returns IRIS to the location where IRIS was armed.

Always arm IRIS in a safe, unobstructed launch point.

When commanded to RTL, IRIS will:

1 Achieve minimum altitude of 15 m (50 ft)

or maintain current altitude if above 15 m.

2 Move to launch point and loiter for 5 seconds.

3 Land at launch point.

Reposition during landing: During landing, use the

right stick on the controller to adjust IRIS’ position.

A safety fence restricts IRIS to within 300 meters (980 feet) of the

launch point and under 100 meters (320 feet) in altitude. If IRIS reaches

the edge of the geofence, it will initiate an automatic return to launch.

Geofence

In the event of a GPS failsafe, the horizontal geofence will be disabled.

If IRIS breaches the vertical geofence during a GPS failsafe, it will land at

its current position.
