Gusts of wind above the
drone limits / too much wind
In GPS-Mode the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV can fly in
wind speeds up to 12 m/s. If GPS-Mode is active and
there are gusts exceeding 12 m/s you must:
1. Switch to Height-Mode.
In this mode, the UAV can fly in wind speeds up
to 16 m/s.
2. Descend to a lower altitude, as wind speed
usually decreases at lower altitudes.
3. If you are in Height-Mode and wind speed
exceeds 16 m/s, descend and if the wind is still
too strong, land the system.
Loss of information on the
Status Display of the CTR
As long as the flight characteristics of the UAV
remain unchanged, fly back, land, and analyze the
cause of the display failure.
If flight characteristics changed regarding position or
altitude control, consider changing to Height-Mode
or Manual-Mode.
