    7.8 Return(RTH) 7.8.1 Regular Return The regular return consists of three steps, as follows: 1. Ascent: The drone ascends to the set return altitude (this step is skipped if the drone's altitude is already higher than the return altitude). 2. Level flight: The drone maintains a straight flight at the set altitude towards the HOME point. 3.
