New feature for Elios 3 released: Resume Inspection

What is Resume Inspection?

Resume Inspection is a new autonomy feature available now for the Flyability Elios 3.

After you land and change batteries mid-inspection, Resume Inspection prompts you to resume from where you left off. The drone then autonomously flies the shortest route back to the last Return-to-Home (RTH) point with no manual navigation required.

That means fewer interruptions, no doubling back, and more time focused on the task.

Why this matters for your inspections

1. Saves time: no need to re-fly the same stretch of tunnel or tank.
2. Reduces pilot load: skip the tricky manual return. Focus on what comes next.
3. Improves consistency: stay on mission path; the drone knows where to go and how to get there.
4. Builds on Smart RTH: together, these features move you closer to semi-automated inspection workflows.

How to use it

Resume Inspection is now available for all Elios 3 Premium Software subscribers. All you need to do to unlock the feature is update your firmware.
