Abstract:
Autonomous flight is performed in an open loop mode over a first range of altitudes, wherein a plurality altitude-related data from a plurality of altitude-related sensors is ignored while performing the autonomous flight in the open loop mode. The autonomous flight is performed in a closed loop mode over a second range of altitudes, wherein: the plurality of altitude-related data from the plurality of altitude-related sensors is used while performing the autonomous flight in the closed loop mode, and the first range of altitudes is a non-overlapping, lower range of altitudes compared to the second range of altitudes.

Claim (Index 17):
The method recited in  claim 12 , wherein:\n the autonomous flight includes autonomous landing; and performing the autonomous landing in the open loop mode includes performing ground detection, including by:\n injecting a rotation about an axis of rotation; \n obtaining a measured amount of rotation about the axis of rotation; \n comparing the measured amount of rotation against a rotational threshold; \n obtaining a throttle value; \n comparing the throttle value against a throttle threshold; and \n in response to the measured amount of rotation not exceeding the rotational threshold and the throttle value not exceeding the throttle threshold, deciding that a landing surface has been reached.
