Backup device

If my phone / tablet crashes while I am in the air or I have any other sort of problem, can I simply grab another device that is already set-up and ready to go and recover?

What issues might I encounter?

Just fly it home using your controller. You don't need a phone/tablet to fly.

That is assuming you can still see it.

RTH should work even if you don't see the AC if the AC has enough GPS in P-mode and its compass is OK.

Indicators of compromise?
Do you mean LOS? Line of Sight?
