time is a prefixed amount of time, that once surpassed will trigger a return home in
the autopilot.
To define this time, select Preflight → Bingo Time. In the dialog, enter the desired amount
of time and the unit this time is expressed in (See Figure 39: Bingo time window) from the
drop down menu and click on Set.
When the bingo time is set, an automatic bingo count down appears on the Bingo alarm on
the Alarm window (See 2.8.5.1 Alarms section )set as green. In case the bingo time arrives
to zero, the bingo alarm will change to red with the word “BINGO” on it.
The operator can override this return home by commanding any other mode, however,
have in mind that until the Bingo time counter is reset, U-Pilot won't attempt another
automatic return home once it has been over-commanded.
A click in Disable Bingo will stop the count-down, disarm the BINGO alarm and deactivate
auto-return home by time.
This tool is not mandatory for flight but recommended.

Unlike the usual tools included in U-See, this
