Table 3.11: GPS signal warning
SIGNALS
EXPLANATION
Acoustic: “GPS lost!”
Tactile: Vibration on CTR
Visual on the Status Display:
Text on the tablet:
GPS signal lost!
The quality of the GPS signal is not sufficient to reli-
ably keep the position of the UAV. It will automatically
switch to Height-Mode.
The pilot must always be capable of controlling the
UAV in Height-Mode!
If the system automatically switches from GPS-Mode
to Height-Mode, the GPS-Mode button will be flashing,
while the Height-Mode button will be lit permanently.
This indicates that the system will switch back to GPS-
Mode automatically, when a valid GPS signal will be
received. In situations where a loss of the GPS signal
can be predicted, it is always better to manually switch
to Height-Mode.

A motor, motor controller, and/or propeller is not
working properly. In most situations, the redundant
propulsion system will compensate one failing motor/
rotor combination.
Land immediately, controlling the UAV with careful,
soft maneuvers and try to identify and fix the root
cause.
In case of this message push once the arrow
