How to Resume a Mission on GS RTK for the Phantom 4 RTK


Larger sites will require multiple batteries to complete the mission, meaning you must pause the mission to swap those batteries out. This guide will walk you through resuming a mission that has already started.

Note: Each sub mission should be at least 10 minutes long to guarantee the drone has captured enough GPS data for corrections. 

Once you've planned and begun flying a mission, the drone will return to home once reaches a specific battery level (typically 30%). 

Resuming A Mission

After changing the battery for a freshly charged one, power on the drone and tap the Fly button from the main menu. Then, tap the Missions icon on the left side of the screen.

The mission list populates on the left side of the screen. Since the menu at the top is set to Plan, any missions selected here will start from the beginning instead of resuming.

Change the mission list from Plan to Executing within the menu at the top. You will now be able to see all your missions in progress and the percentage of the missions completed so far. Select the mission you want to resume from the list.

Invoke the mission, and the drone will resume the mission from where it left off before the battery change.
