How do I prevent my drone from crashing?

To make flying easier, there are a number of safety settings available on most drones, including auto land and auto return functions to ensure your drone doesn't drop out of the sky when it's getting low on battery power.

Other functions include no-fly zones and flight ceilings to help you make sure you don't accidentally take your drone out of controllable range or into a restricted area. 

The telemetry data your drone transmits might include altitude and distance from home to help you stay in safe areas. Some drone apps allow you to attend a virtual drone flight school where you can get the hang of flying a virtual drone before testing your skills in the real world.
