Drone exam · Operational procedures

The route passes near structures known to disturb GNSS reception. What should the pilot prepare for before the flight?

Answer

Know how the aircraft behaves with degraded positioning, what warnings indicate the change, how to maintain or regain control in the relevant mode, and where to land if reliable navigation cannot be restored.

Explanation

Loss of positioning assistance can change handling and automated functions. The pilot should understand that behavior before entering an environment where degradation is foreseeable.
