Hi all,
I operate a Phantom 3 Pro and I am looking for information on the expected aircraft behavior in a situation where the aircraft loses both comm link with the controller and gps signal (or gps becomes inoperative) at the same time.
Based on the forum thread references below, my understanding is that in this "flyaway" scenario, the aircraft will drift with the wind and eventually autoland when the batteries get sufficiently low (as opposed to autolanding immediately)
Can anyone confirm this expected behavior? Has anyone tested this or have experience with this scenario?
Thank you,
Keith

P2V Lost signal, lost visual what happens next?
"Well, if you have no GPS.. it would be in ATTI mode and drift with the wind.. until the battery ran low and autoland kicked in."
