PRISM FLIGHT MANUAL
90
This section outlines the procedures to be followed when the RPAS encounters an
emergency situation. A number of situations are described below as well as the procedure
for handling each situation.
As the RPA will always be flying in close proximity to the ground, this leaves little time for
the Pilot to react in most emergency scenarios. The Pilot is therefore expected to study
this section before operating the RPAS and be able to react to each situation accordingly.
The Command & Control (C2) link may be compromised by factors such as distance
from the control station, radio frequency interference, obstructions between the control
station and the UAV, and environmental factors. In the event of a loss of C2 link, the flight
controller will engage the pre-programmed failsafe response to either hold its current
position or execute an RTL.
The RPA will hold its position and altitude at the time of control link loss. The RPA will
remain in this position until either the control link is restored, or the RPA enters LOW
BATTERY FAILSAFE MODE, which will trigger the RPA to automatically descend until it
touches the ground and power down.

PILOT PAYLOAD OPERATOR / OBSERVER
Attempt to determine the cause of the loss of
link:
• RPS power failure.
• External Interference corrupting the control
link signal.
• RPA beyond control link range.
