Drone exam · UAS general knowledge

A drone flying a waypoint route loses reliable GNSS. What should the pilot know before using automated missions near obstacles?

Answer

Know how the aircraft behaves when navigation quality falls, whether it pauses, continues, changes flight mode, drifts, returns, or requires manual intervention, and what warnings precede that change.

Explanation

The safe response depends on the specific aircraft. Automated navigation is only as dependable as its required sensors and the logic defined by the manufacturer.
