30.5 R.T.H.
In order for R.T.H. to work, wait (1 - 10 min.) until the »NovaX 350
receives a good GPS signal before taking off.
R.T.H. (Return To Home) is a failsafe feature of S.M.A.R.T. (Software Managed Auto

30.5.4 The importance of the GPS signal
ForR.T.H.towork,agoodGPSsignalisrequiredatalltimes.The»NovaX350maytake
upto10min.forGPSsignalacquisitionthersttimeyouturniton.Forsubsequentsignal
acquisitionthetimemaybeshorter(1to2min.).
Notethatwheneveryoumovethe»NovaX350toanotherlocation,thesignalacquisition
time may increase again (1 to 10 min.). Depending on the GPS signal strength, the
»NovaX350behavesdifferently.Thebelowtablesummarizesallpossiblebehaviours.
GPS signal Behaviour on triggering of R.T.H.
