Drone exam · UAS general knowledge

The pilot moves hundreds of metres from the launch point during an operation. Before relying on lost link recovery, what reference must be understood?

Answer

Confirm whether the aircraft will return to the original takeoff point, a dynamically updated controller position, another stored point, hover, land, or use another model specific behavior.

Explanation

Moving the controller does not necessarily move the recovery destination. The active failsafe reference must be known before a link loss occurs.
