Unexpected Flight Behaviour
If you encounter unexpected behaviour with the Reflex flight controller, follow these steps to regain control:
-
Centralize Controls: Centre the throttle, yaw, and pitch/roll sticks to their default positions.
-
Observe the Drone: After centring the controls, carefully observe the drone's behavior. If it continues to fly in an uncommanded manner in either Automated or Position Mode, proceed to the next step.
-
Switch to Altitude Mode: If the unexpected behaviour persists in Automated or Position Mode, switch the flight controller to Altitude Mode. This mode maintains the drone's altitude but removes the position control functionality. It allows you to regain control and stabilize the drone.
-
Assess the Situation: Once in Altitude Mode, evaluate the drone's behaviour and determine if it has stabilized. If the drone is under control and responding correctly, you can proceed with normal flight operations. However, if the unexpected behaviour persists or worsens, proceed to the next step.
-
Switch to Attitude Mode and Land: If the drone is still exhibiting uncommanded behaviour in Altitude Mode, switch the flight controller to Attitude Mode. This mode provides manual control of the drone's attitude (pitch, roll, and yaw) without relying on external sensors or positioning systems. Use Attitude Mode to stabilize the drone and land.
-
Identify Possible Causes: Unexpected behaviour can be caused by various factors such as erroneous sensor readings, degraded GPS signal reception, or compass issues. Take note of any potential factors that could have contributed to the unexpected behaviour for further troubleshooting.
