RC Drones Failsafe I have recently heard someone ask the question, "how does a drone know how to get back home on its own. What if I lose sight of it while I'm flying and I can't find it again". That would certainly ruin your day of flying! Well, those are excellent questions. This is what I have found to be true with RC Drones. A drone, also known as a UAV or Unmanned Ariel Vehicle and is also referred to by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Flying an rc drone is great entertainment but wondering if it is going to come back to you would definitely take away from the fun. A failsafe is a pre-programmed behavior designed to prevent a crash in the event of an unsafe situation. Before your drone ever leaves the starting position, it will record the current GPS coordinates as its home point. You want to make sure the "ready to fly" status is confirmed before taking off which is what allows it to come back to the starting position. Getting the Home Point set correctly is extremely important. Then, if it loses contact with the radio controller for some reason, for instance if it flies out of the effective communication range or the remote controller is turned off, it will return back to its starting position or land itself safely if it doesn’t have enough battery power to return to its starting position. If there is an obstacle between your drone and the remote controller, enough to reduce the signal, this could make your drone go into failsafe mode and fly back to the original GPS coordinates. It is important to fly away from tall buildings and steel structures. It is also wise to stay away from high voltage wires to reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference. Always try to keep your rc drone within sight. This will reduce the possibility of running it into something or other possible problems. Drones also have the capability to return home if the battery gets too low. The battery low light will come on and the failsafe mode will allow it to fly back to the starting position and land safely or land safely where it is if it doesn’t have enough battery to return home, as long as the failsafe mode has not been disabled. It is important to keep the needless and pad clean of dirt and dust so there will not be a communication failure. Of course, it is best to make sure the battery in your drone is fully charged before you begin your flight. I hope this will help to answer the question about drones returning home if by some chance the signal communication is lost.
