Abstract
A method for automatically powering off an aerial vehicle includes detecting an operating state of the aerial vehicle based on altitude information of the aerial vehicle. The attitude information includes at least one of absolute altitude information or relative altitude information. The relative altitude information includes a landing distance to a landing plane. The method further includes determining whether the operating state of the aerial vehicle indicates that the aerial vehicle has landed and, in response to a determination result that the aerial vehicle has landed, shutting down a propulsion output of the aerial vehicle.
