Common knowledge is that quadcopters cannot survive a motor failure, as four is the absolute minimum number of motors required to maintain control on a multirotor. While this is true, there are algorithms that can keep quads in the air even if severely crippled, usually by giving away yaw control:
As for the P3S, its current firmware is not sophisticated enough to compensate for a motor failure. Plenty of videos around of Phantoms miserably crashing into the ground, after losing a prop.
