Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (small UAS)

Rules for Safe Operation of Small UAS: Abnormal and Emergency Situations
Flyaways

A flyaway begins as a lost link—an interruption or loss of the control link prevents control of the aircraft. As a result, the unmanned aircraft is not operating in a predicable or planned manner. However in a flyaway, the pre-set lost link procedures are not established or are not being executed by the unmanned aircraft, creating an emergency situation.

If a flyaway occurs while operating in airspace that requires authorization, notify ATC as outlined in the authorization.
 
Interesting. Do you have a better explanation of where you found this? 14 CFR Part 107 (as of 21 MAR 18) has no definition. So I was wondering where you found this! It sounds good, but I can't find it anywhere.
THANKS.
