Temporary Operational Restriction — Return to Operator (RTO) Feature
(March 2026)
SUMMARY:
FlightWave has identified a software condition affecting Relative Altitude calculation during flight operations.
During routine flight testing, the aircraft exhibited an issue where the Relative Altitude value increased unexpectedly during flight.
Under certain flight conditions, this altitude discrepancy may trigger premature transition from Multirotor mode to Fixed-Wing mode, which can result in loss of controlled flight and potential aircraft crash.
Engineering is currently investigating the root cause and developing a corrective software patch.
Return to Operator (RTO) commands the aircraft to return to the operator’s current location, while Return to Launch (RTL) commands the aircraft to return to the original takeoff location recorded at launch.
Until a patch is released, operators must not use the Return to Operator (RTO) feature to mitigate operational risk.
An Estimated Completion Date (ECD) for the software rollout will be communicated in a future bulletin.

Motor Arm Compatibility and Identification Requirements
(March 2026)
SUMMARY:FlightWave has introduced updated motor assemblies for the Edge 130 propulsion system.
Certain motors now include identification markings, indicating different internal motor variants.
Operating aircraft with incompatible motor variants installed simultaneously may result in propulsion imbalance and degraded flight performance.
This bulletin provides guidance on motor identification and approved motor pairings to ensure safe operation.
