2E31 - Return-to-Home or Return-to-Crash? Mastering RTH Before It’s Too Late
In Season 2, Episode 31 of Sky Commander Academy, we uncover the life-saving, drone-saving, job-saving feature every Advanced RPAS pilot must understand: Return-to-Home (RTH). It’s built into nearly every drone — but if you don’t configure it correctly, it can turn a safety net into a serious liability.
Whether triggered manually or by emergency, RTH behavior can make or break your mission — especially in congested, high-risk airspace.
You’ll learn:
How Return-to-Home works — and when it activates automatically
The difference between smart RTH, failsafe RTH, and low battery RTH
Critical configuration tips for altitude settings, GPS lock, and home point updates
Real-world RTH incidents that led to crashes, flyaways, or airspace violations — and how to prevent them
What Transport Canada expects from Advanced RPAS pilots when planning for and managing RTH scenarios
Don't leave RTH on autopilot. This episode gives you the insight and settings know-how to make Return-to-Home one of the safest tools in your flight toolkit.
