A motor stops working in
flight.
1. Steer the UAV with careful control commands
and avoid strong control stick inputs.
2. Carefully land the system.
3. Identify and repair the cause of the failure before
flying again.
Should one of the motors become defective, it will
be identified by the UAV and compensated for. A
visual, and an acoustical warning signal are given
and emitted from the CTR. With the notification, all
you must do is bring the UAV back and land in a safe
spot.
More than one motor stops
working in flight
If possible, immediately land the system at its cur-
rent location with careful control commands avoid-
ing strong control stick inputs. Identify and repair
the cause of the failure before flying again.
If two or more motors are lost, depending on their
position, stable flight characteristics can no longer
be guaranteed.
When sufficient thrust is missing, the system has the
following priorities:
1. Attitude
2. Position
3. Altitude
Meaning that if insufficient thrust is available, the
system will first descend. If still not enough thrust is
available, it will start drifting but still try to hold the
attitude. Only if physically impossible, the attitude of
the system will also be compromised.
