Telemetry shows repeated drops in link quality while the aircraft is still controllable. What should the pilot do rather than waiting for a disconnect?

Answer

Treat the trend as an early warning. Reduce range or obstruction, improve antenna geometry, return toward a stronger link area, or land according to the manufacturer's guidance before the margin is exhausted.

Explanation

A lost link failsafe is a last layer. Good link management acts on degradation while the pilot still has full control.
