Control inputs become intermittent and lag noticeably during flight in an area with possible radio interference. What is a prudent response?
- A.Continue the mission because intermittent control is normal near buildings
- B.Ignore the telemetry and fly only by the video feed
- C.Move to improve antenna orientation and line of sight, and return or land if solid control is not restored
Correct answer
C. Move to improve antenna orientation and line of sight, and return or land if solid control is not restored
Why
Intermittent control is an early warning that the link may be lost completely. Improving antenna position and geometry may restore it, but if it does not, returning or landing while some control remains is safer than pressing on.
