Drones take off manually, family by family, in a grid formation. A predefined number of frames is used to space out each takeoff.

### 🔹Auto Takeoff&#x20;

Drones take off automatically and optimally, one family at a time, using a predefined grid layout.

### 🔹Direct Takeoff&#x20;

Drones take off directly into the first shape of the show, bypassing the grid-based takeoff phase.

### 🔹Manual Land&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}

### Available only in Standard Mode

{% endhint %}

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9zPm_Bhcoo>" %}

Drones land directly beneath their current position. To land them at the original takeoff area, a transition to the Family Grids must be performed before triggering manual landing.

### 🔹RTL (Return To Launch)&#x20;

Drones return and land at their exact takeoff positions, directly from the final shape of the show

{% hint style="danger" %}
Drones must be at least at 10m height.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If drones are in close proximity to each other, it may result in errors or extended transition times. To prevent this, maintain sufficient spacing between drones (e.g., at least 2 meters).
{% endhint %}
