Drone exam · UAS general knowledge

The map position jumps several metres while visual position and attitude remain stable. What should the pilot do with automated position dependent functions?

Answer

Reduce reliance on position dependent automation, keep the aircraft in a controllable safe area, and follow the abnormal procedure until the navigation discrepancy is understood.

Explanation

Conflicting indications are a reason to simplify the operation. Automation should not be trusted blindly when one of its inputs is suspect.
