At the bottom of AMC´s top bar, you will find a bar that represents the **remaining flight time** of the vehicle. This same bar also visualizes the **RTL** point, indicating where the vehicle will perform an autonomous **Return to Launch** due to a **Battery Failsafe**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The calculation of the remaining flight time is dynamic and changes based on weather conditions, the mission area, and flight characteristics. The farther the vehicle is from its intended landing location, the sooner the autonomous **Return to Launch (RTL)** will be triggered.
