Loss of the data link connec-
tion between UAV and CTR
Check the antenna orientation.
Try to shorten the distance to the UAV by walking
towards it.
Before take-off:
• Analyze the flight situation and plan the routes to
fly.
• Based on this assessment, select an appropriate
Link Loss Procedure for every single flight.
• Always make sure that there will be no obstacles
in between the UAV and its home position if Link
Loss Procedure ComeHome Straight or
ComeHome High, has been selected.
The Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS features two fully inde-
pendent data link connections.
In case one link is disturbed, there is always a second
independent link on a different channel in the 2.4
GHz band.
In case that both data links are lost, the UAV auto-
matically activates one of the three Link Loss Proce-
dures you are forced to select before the start.
As soon as the link is re-established you can take
control again, and continue the flight.
All Link Loss Procedures always go into a controlled
descend.
Simultaneous loss of GPS
reception, and data link con-
nection, between UAV and
CTR
Check the antenna orientation.
Try to shorten the distance to the UAV by walking
towards it.
The Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV will activate the Link Loss
Procedure because of the lost data link connection.
As no GPS signal can be received, it is impossible to
locate the home position and a
Direct Landing
will be performed. The UAV will drift with the wind in
such a situation.
