With my FrSKY setup, I program the Failsafe in the receive to do what I want... ie. switch setting to RTL, and mid stick everything else. Using this, I don't use any of the APM failsafe functions. For example, if I turn my transmitter off (or goes out of range), the RX senses this and activates RTL. The APM goes into RTL and is unaware of the failsafe status. When I turn the TX back on (or the plane flies back into range), I have control again. It happens very quickly and has been flawless so far. (Just be aware of your stick and switch positions for when you gain control again. Don't want a surprise.)
It appears that you can program the Aurora 9 the same way, but I don't know first hand.

Try setting the fail safe in the receiver rather than the transmitter. What type of transmitter and receiver are you using?
It also took me a while to figure it out. So I posted my method here a few weeks ago.

Hello Roger,
A few questions may help us help you;
What version of the APM are you running?
What Transmitter are you using?
What Receiver are you using?
