Thankfully this hasn’t happened to me, and hopefully never will. However, I was just wondering what would happen.
So, say I takeoff with good satellite coverage, RTH firmly set in the birds memory I set off and go on a little trip. Then, boom - GPS coverage and control signal falls to nil. Will the lil bugger just hover there until either GPS returns or it gets a control input? Or does it do something else?
I’m sure I read somewhere that it would reverse a bit, but can’t confirm that. Even if it did reverse, what if it’s still not enough to recover control?
