What happens if the control link between the control station and the UAS is lost?

  1. The UAS will land immediately

  2. The UAS will perform preset lost link procedures

  3. The UAS will continue its last command

  4. The UAS will enter a hover state

The correct answer is: The UAS will perform preset lost link procedures

When the control link between the control station and the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is lost, the UAS performs preset lost link procedures to ensure safety and stability. These procedures are programmed into the UAS prior to flight and are designed to automatically take over when communication is interrupted. Common lost link procedures may include returning to a designated home point, circling at a safe altitude until communication is restored, or safely descending to the ground. This automation is crucial because it minimizes the risk of accidents, such as the UAS flying uncontrolled, losing altitude dangerously, or veering into restricted areas. The ability of the drone to have a predefined response helps maintain safety protocols and provides a fallback that pilots can rely on as part of risk management in the operation of drones.
