I'm not sure anyone actually made an actual thread on whether the firmware .550 made any differences for the Auto Land feature..
So forgive me if I put forth my testing here for your info.
Ok, I've been reading from concern pilots saying in .500 firmware, you can no longer abort an autoland (whether intentional or un-intentional) when you push up the left stick. Apparently they were saying you used to be able to abort it in previous firmwares (.400 I think)
So I tested it in .550 and this is what I found..
1) Yes, you still can't abort the auto land with the left stick. BUT.... I push the left stick all the way up and my Bird flies up. It doesn't abort, but it does make your bird fly up, giving you time to do whatever it takes to stop the auto land ( and prevent an accidental drowning or whatever)..
2) Yes, you can abort autoland by switching to sports mode (doesn't matter on or off, it still aborts the Autoland). I even have the multi flight mode (I think thats what they called it, the feature that enables you to go into sports mode) switch in the settings disabled and the button still aborts the Autoland..
I've read pilots saying having the sport button to abort the landing is inconvenient or it escapes their mind when they are panicking.. which goes to another thing I found out.
3) You can abort the autoland with the Pause button. You know, that little red colored button at the bottom left of your RC small screen..
So there you have it... If you guys wants me to test anything further, lemme know here and I'll try to test it out for you guys..
Fly Safe..! And loving my bird more and more everyday.. ;p
