# Normal and Advanced Mode

{% hint style="danger" %}
It is recommended to operate AMC in **Normal Mode**, as **Advanced Mode** provides operational options and settings that fall outside the typical drone operator's scope. Operating AMC in Advanced Mode means operating the drone outside of warranty coverage.
{% endhint %}

AMC can run in Normal and Advanced Mod&#x65;**.** Enter Advanced Mode by clicking five times on the menu icon<img src="/files/eF0Umv5Fj1XVPRutR5WX" alt="" data-size="line">in the upper left corner of the screen. A window will pop up, providing the option to switch modes.

Operating AMC in **Advanced Mode** adds more options and settings to choose from. These settings are not relevant for typical drone operators and should not be changed by end users. The following list provides an overview of some key items:

* **Pilot Commands:** **Land** and **Transition** commands are available in the **Fly View Toolbar**.
* **Arming:** The vehicle can be manually armed via the **Emergency Action** button.
* **Analyze:** The option to manually download log files is available in the **Analyze** tab. The **MAVLink Console/Inspector** is also accessible for development tasks; however, these settings and menus are not relevant for typical drone operators and should not be changed by end users.
* **MAVLink** and **Console:** These are available in the **Settings** tab for development tasks. Similar to the **Analyze** tab, these settings and menus are not intended for modification by drone operators.
* **Vehicle Overview:** In the **Overview** tab, additional sensors are accessible for calibration, along with more options within specific sensor categories. Only **Compass Calibration** may be necessary in some circumstances. For more information about Compass Calibration, please read [**here**](/tac/maintenance/compass-calibration.md).
* **Safety Tab:** In the **Safety** tab, **RC Loss Failsafe Trigger** and **Land Mode Settings** are accessible.

{% hint style="info" %}
To access the **Land** and **Transition** commands via the **Fly View Toolbar**, AMC must be running in **Advanced Mode**.
{% endhint %}

In the **AMC Menu -> Settings -> General -> Miscellaneous**, the option to always start AMC in Advanced **Mode** is available. This option is only accessible when AMC is running in Advanced Mode.
