A team launches from one side of a large site, then drives the controller to another authorised position without checking the home point behavior. What could go wrong after a link loss?

Answer

The aircraft may return to the original home point, to the controller, or use another model specific behavior. The pilot should know which reference is active and update it only in accordance with the manufacturer's procedure and the operation plan.

Explanation

Moving the pilot does not automatically move the aircraft's recovery destination. The active home reference must be understood before it is needed.
