Flight Modes

Flight Modes Setup

We recommend for you to start off by flying with two flight modes:

  1. Manual Mode
  2. Position Hold Mode

until you are prepared to fly with Autonomous Flight Mode (as a 3rd flight mode).

The PX4 Flight Modes Overview, and the referenced links found on that page (e.g. Flight Mode Configuration), provide ample detail on the usage and setup of these modes in QGroundControl and on the radio remote control, specifcally the FrSky Taranis X9D.

We found the SA switch on the FrSky Taranis X9D radio remote control to be a convenient switch to use for switching between flight modes as it is well located and it should allow for switching between three Flight Mode settings.
