Drone exam · UAS general knowledge

After updating the aircraft, the controller reports that the camera payload firmware is incompatible. The pilot can still see a video image. Is that enough to launch?

Answer

No. Resolve the compatibility warning according to the manufacturer before flight. Partial functionality does not prove that control, metadata, failsafes, or payload commands will work correctly.

Explanation

Modern UAS are integrated systems. A version mismatch can affect functions that are not obvious during a brief bench check.
