The landing direction and the approach waypoints are calculated on the basis of the measured wind parameters. If no headwind landing is possible or the wind strength is greater than "Max. tailwind" (see Global Parameters), return to point 2. 4. The landing is initiated.

Final Appraoch: The engine power is reduced using "Pitch2throttle modifier" to reduce speed and the altitude is gradually reduced towards "Land Altitude" while approaching the Safehome coordinates. 7. Glide: When "Glide Altitude" is reached, the motor is switched off and the pitch angle of "Glide Pitch" is held. 7. Flare: Only if a LIDAR/Rangefinder sensor is present: the motor remains switched off and the pitch angle of "Flare Pitch" is held 8. Landing: As soon as INAV has detected the landing, it is automatically disarmed, see setting `nav_disarm_on_landing`.
