# Safety Points (Rally Points)
|
|
|
|
Safety points are alternative [Return Mode](../flight_modes/return.md) destinations/landing points.
|
|
When enabled, the vehicle will choose the _closest return destination_ of: home location, mission landing pattern or a _safety point_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating/Defining Safety Points
|
|
|
|
Safety points are created in _QGroundControl_ (which calls them "Rally Points").
|
|
|
|
At high level:
|
|
|
|
1. Open **QGroundControl > Plan View**
|
|
1. Select the **Rally** tab/button on the _Plan Editor_ (right of screen).
|
|
1. Select the **Rally Point** button on the toolbar (left of screen).
|
|
1. Click anywhere on the map to add a rally/safety point.
|
|
- The _Plan Editor_ displays and lets you edit the current rally point (shown as a green **R** on the map).
|
|
- You can select another rally point (shown as a more orange/yellow **R** on the map) to edit it instead.
|
|
1. Select the **Upload Required** button to upload the rally points (along with any [mission](../flying/missions.md) and [geofence](../flying/geofence.md)) to the vehicle.

## Using Safety Points
|
|
|
|
Safety points are not enabled by default (there are a number of different [Return Mode Types](../flight_modes/return.md#return_types)).
|
|
|
|
To enable safety points:
|
|
|
|
1. [Use the QGroundControl Parameter Editor](../advanced_config/parameters.md) to set parameter: [RTL_TYPE=3](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#RTL_TYPE).
