"If the aircraft is more than 50 m from the Home Point when the remote controller signal is lost, it will fly backwards for 50 m on its original flight route, and then enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during RTH.
After flying backward on the original route for 50 m:
1. If the aircraft is 50 m or less than 50 m from the Home Point, it will fly back to the Home Point at its
current altitude.
2. If the aircraft is further than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is higher than the
preset RTH altitude, it will fly back to the Home Point at its current altitude.
3. If the aircraft is further than 50 m from the Home Point and the current altitude is lower than the
preset RTH altitude, it will ascend to the preset RTH altitude and then fly back to the Home Point"

Ah yes, I forgot we were talking about the Failsafe RTH in case of lost signal. It flies backwards to presumably try to regain the control signals.

There are a few more details in the Failsafe RTH as you point out.
