2.1.5 Flight Control System
EVO II Pro V3 aircraft provides stable and convenient flight control through its
built-in intelligent flight control system. The system supports multiple advanced
functions, such as return to home, failsafe, and Starpoint positioning. Each module
is described in the following table.
Module Description
Ultrasonic sensor Measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground.
1. Flight Mode
The aircraft can automatically switch between three flight modes based on the
availability of GPS signals and flight conditions.
Flight Mode
21
In this mode, the aircraft uses vision positioning, which is
highly dependent on the environment and altitude. The
surrounding environment must have sufficient light, and the
Starpoint mode
ground texture must be clear. In addition, the aircraft must fly
at an altitude that can be sensed by the vision systems.
Otherwise, the aircraft enters the ATTI mode.
22
2.1.6 Intelligent Flight Features
1. Auto-return
This feature is enabled only when the GPS signal is good. To manually activate the
auto-return feature, long press the auto-return button ( ) on the remote
controller for 3s. After receiving the command, the aircraft will automatically return
and land at the preset home point.
EVO II Pro V3 aircraft can use its forward vision system to detect and avoid
obstacles along the flight route. When the aircraft is returning to the home point,
the remote controller is not available, and you must press the Pause button ( ) to
activate the front vision system.
Warning
If the forward vision system is not enabled when the aircraft is returning to the
home point, the aircraft cannot automatically avoid obstacles. Press the Pause
button on the remote controller ( ) to exit the auto-return mode and regain
control over the aircraft.
Important
The default altitude for returning to the home point is 30 meters. If the
auto-return feature is activated when you fly your aircraft at a lower altitude,
the aircraft will ascend to the default altitude of 30 meters and then return to
the home point.
If you activate the auto-return feature when the aircraft is within a 10 meters
radius of the home point, the aircraft will automatically land at the current
place.
2. Failsafe
Failsafe is to help the aircraft return to the home point automatically or land at the
current place when necessary. Failsafe is activated in the following two scenarios:
Communication interrupted
If the communication between the aircraft and the remote controller is interrupted
for 3s, failsafe will be activated.
If a GPS signal is available when the failsafe is activated, the aircraft will
automatically return to the home point. Otherwise, the aircraft will land in the
current place. After the communication is restored, you can press the Pause button
( ) to regain control over the aircraft.
23
Low aircraft battery
The failsafe is triggered whenever one of the following errors occurs:
1) The aircraft continuously calculates the battery power required for returning to
the home point. If the battery power is sufficient for the aircraft to return to the
home point, the App will show a notification. The failsafe will be activated and
the aircraft will start the auto-return process. In the meantime, you can press
the Pause button ( ) to regain control over the aircraft.
2) When the battery level of the aircraft reaches the set threshold (25% by default),
you will receive a low battery warning, the failsafe is activated, and the aircraft
will automatically return to the home point. If you regain control over your
aircraft, when the battery level reaches 15%, you will receive a critically low
battery warning, and the aircraft will automatically land in the current place. For
any emergency, press the Pause button ( ) to stop landing and manually fly
the aircraft to the nearest safe landing point.
Note
When the battery level of the aircraft reaches 25% (low battery warning),
if the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the home point is less than
50 meters (150 ft), the aircraft will not execute the auto-return procedure.
If no GPS signal is available when a low battery warning is displayed, the
aircraft will not execute the auto-return process. The aircraft will enter the ATTI
mode and continue to be controlled by you. When the battery level reaches
15% (critically low battery warning), the aircraft will land automatically.
3. Feature
Landing Protection
When the aircraft arrives above the home point, this feature will detect the ground
environment below. If the ground is flat, the aircraft will land automatically.
Otherwise, it will hover and wait for the next instruction.
Accurate Landing
When this feature is activated, the aircraft will land as close to the takeoff point.
Important
The aircraft will record the takeoff point as the default home point. The
accurate landing only takes effect when the home point is not updated during
the flight.
Select an open area with sufficient light as the takeoff point.
24
To use this feature, make sure that the environment where the aircraft takes off
is not changed.
Landing protection and accurate landing features can be enabled using the
App.
The figure below shows the covering angle of each binocular vision sensing system:
25
Note
The omnidirectional vision sensing system can sense obstacles in directions
such as front, rear, top, bottom, left, and right. However, blind areas exist in four
diagonal directions. When you fly the aircraft manually, pay attention to the
surrounding environment and prompt messages of the App to ensure safety.
Do not operate the aircraft in a complex environment with insufficient light, or
an area with small objects (such as twigs, lines, and nets), moving objects, or
objects having transparent surfaces (such as windows) or reflected surfaces
(such as mirrors).
When flying along with a vehicle, select an outside field or a closed road for
driving. Never use the aircraft on the highway.
1. Prerequisites
Ensure that the aircraft is in GPS or vision positioning mode.
The aircraft should take off when the flight LED indicator flashes green slowly
or red twice.
When the GPS signal is weak or the vision positioning is not available (for
example, small visible texture on the object’s surface or the aircraft is flying at
an altitude above 12 meters), you should be extremely careful.
The binocular vision sensing systems and Starpoint locating systems are
affected by the brightness and texture of the objects below the aircraft. Avoid
flying the aircraft above the following surfaces:
26
˗ A surface of a pure color
˗ A highly reflective surface such as a water surface
˗ A very bright or dark object surface
˗ A surface with frequently changing light
˗ Surfaces composed of highly repetitive patterns such as tile
˗ Sound absorbing surfaces such as thick carpet
˗ Moving surfaces such as road surface with heavy traffic
Ensure that the binocular camera lens and sensor are kept clean.
To avoid interference with Starpoint locating systems, do not use a 40 kHz
ultrasonic device, such as an ultrasonic range finder, fault detector, cleaner, or
welding machine.
2. Functionality
Dynamic Tracking
Using deep learning algorithms, dynamic tracking can detect six objects in real time:
walking persons, persons who ride bicycles, moving cars, trucks, ships, and animals.
Real-time tracking algorithms can automatically track selected objects and let the
aircraft avoid obstacles in its flight path. This feature uses three modes to track
objects.
Viewpoint
With the Viewpoint feature, you can tap on the mobile device screen to let the
aircraft fly in the designated direction.
Gesture Commands
Using deep learning algorithms, the primary camera identifies and responds to
three gesture commands: straighten your arms upwards to set yourself as the
target, hold your arms flat to take a photo, and raise one arm to start or stop
recording.
Accurate Landing
The accurate landing feature uses the binocular vision system on the bottom of the
aircraft to record the takeoff location. When the aircraft is returning to the home
point or landing, vision algorithms are used to calculate the distance between the
aircraft and the takeoff point in real time so as to make sure that the aircraft
successfully lands at the takeoff point.
Safe Landing
The safe landing feature creates a density depth map using the vision system on
the bottom of the aircraft. It calculates the flatness and angle of the depth map to
check whether the surface is flat enough to ensure a safe landing.
27
2.2 Remote Controller
Autel Smart Controller SE is integrated with a 6.4-inch 2340x1080 touch screen to
transmit high-definition images in real time. You can operate and configure the
aircraft and camera if you are 15 kilometers away. The remote controller uses the
Android system and can be connected to the Internet through Wi-Fi. You can
download and install a third-party app. In addition, the remote controller supports
the Bluetooth and satellite-based positioning.
The built-in 1900 mAh LiPo battery can last for a maximum of 4 hours.

4. Adjust the antennas
Extend the antennas of the remote controller. The strength of the signal received by
the antennas varies depending on their positions. The strongest signal can be
achieved when the antennas and the back of the remote controller form an angle of
180° or 270° degrees and the flat side of the antennas is facing the aircraft. When
you operate the aircraft, make sure that the aircraft is in the place for the best
communications.
Note
Do not use other communication devices of the same frequency band at the
same time to prevent interference with the signals of the remote controller.
In practice, when the image transmission signals are weak, the Autel Explorer
App will display prompt messages. Adjust the antennas according to the
prompted instructions and ensure that the aircraft is in the place for the best
communications.
5. Linking
When you buy a package that includes both an aircraft and a remote controller, the
remote controller is already linked to your aircraft before delivery. You can directly
use the aircraft after you activate it.
In other cases, you need to link the remote controller to your aircraft manually.
Perform the following steps to do that.
1. Press the linking button next to the USB port on the right of the aircraft body to
let the aircraft enter the linking state.
31
2. Turn on the remote controller and launch the Autel Explorer App. Go to the

2. When the aircraft arrives above the target position, release the command stick
to hover the aircraft.
3. Slowly push down the left command stick to land the aircraft.
4. After the aircraft lands on the ground, push the left command stick until the
motor is turned off.
44
Note
When the low battery warning (25%) is displayed, the LED indicator on the back
of the aircraft flashes red. In this case, you must immediately let the aircraft
land in a safe place.
2. Automatic landing
When one of the following errors occurs, failsafe will be triggered, and the aircraft
will automatically land from the current position:
A low battery warning is displayed in a non-GPS environment.
A critical low battery warning is displayed.

Chapter 5 Maintenance and Service
Important
Before you upgrade the firmware, ensure that:
The aircraft motor is not rotated.
The battery of the aircraft and remote controller is not lower than 25%.
The SD card has sufficient space to store firmware files.
Method 1
1. Download the firmware upgrade package from the official website of Autel
Robotics: www.autelrobotics.cn/download/6
2. Insert the SD card into the computer and extract the downloaded files into the
root directory of the SD card. Remove the SD card from the computer.
3. Turn on the aircraft and remote controller.
4. Insert the SD card into the aircraft to automatically start the upgrade process.
You can check the upgrade process through the app.
5. Restart the aircraft and remote controller before you use the product again.
Method 2
When the system detects a new firmware version, the Autel Explorer App will
automatically pop up a prompt message after you connect the App with the aircraft,
reminding you to download and install the firmware. Follow the promoted
instructions to download and upgrade the firmware.
Important
The firmware update takes about 15 minutes. During the upgrade, do not turn
off the aircraft or remote controller, start the motor, or remove the SD card
from the camera.
After the upgrade, the remote controller may be disconnected from the aircraft.
To pair them again, refer to Section 2.2.2.

5.2 Troubleshooting
Question 1: An error is found when the aircraft performs the self-check
(the LED indicator at the tail of the aircraft glows solid red).
This is a hardware issue. Please contact Autel Robotics' customer support:
www.autelrobotics.cn/page/service
Question 3: If the aircraft cannot take off after you start the motor, check the
following:
Check whether the aircraft is in a No Fly Zone.
Check whether the aircraft is placed on a flat surface.
Question 8: The video link is interrupted when the aircraft is not out of your sight.
Enable auto-return and let the aircraft return to the home point.
47
Obstacles can be detected by checking the texture of their surfaces. The
detection function cannot work properly for objects with no texture, repeated
texture, or a surface of pure color, moving objects, or tiny objects.
Question 11: The omnidirectional binocular vision sensing system cannot work
properly.
Restart the aircraft and check whether the system can work properly this time.
