Drone exam · Operational procedures

A gimbal and compass warning appeared in flight, but both disappear after the drone is restarted. Should the event be logged?

Answer

Yes. Record the warning, circumstances, aircraft and battery involved, and any troubleshooting or maintenance action before the aircraft is returned to normal service.

Explanation

Intermittent faults are easy to lose if only persistent warnings are recorded. A history can reveal patterns that are not obvious in a single flight.
