List of possible emergency landing methods. All of these are meant as a last resort when you are not able to safely fly back home.

Which of these are possible or best methods of emergency landing? (Sorted by best to worst.)

1. Hover over flat area, set the RTH on the drones location and press RTH.

2. Autoland over flat area, drone will land directly down at it's position.
(However, I believe this will result in a connection-loss and set the drone to RTH, thus flying back to the takeoff point anyway?)

3. Hover over flat area at low altitude, disarm the motors and let drone crash/fall down at it's position.

Did I miss any?
 
I think it all depends on what the emergency is. If it's something like another object flying towards it or near it, (plane, helicopter, bird etc.) then you would probably want to disarm the motors. If it is another emergency such as battery failure or something then I would probably do your #1 or #2. Probably #1 as I'm not sure if it would RTH if it had a connection loss.

**Make sure to check your landing location to confirm that the ground is clear of people, animals etc. when using any of these methods!
