Sensor Failure Handling
In the event of a sensor failure, the flight controller is designed to automatically take appropriate actions to ensure the system continues to operate safely and effectively. The following table outlines the automatic actions performed by the flight controller for different sensor failures:
| Sensor Lost | Automatic Action |
|---|---|
| GNSS | Shift to Altitude mode |
| Magneto/GNSS Heading | Shift to Altitude mode |
| Range Sensor | Reduced feature availability |
-
GNSS Failure: If the GNSS signal is lost in Position or Automated Modes, the flight controller will automatically shift the system to altitude mode. This allows the system to rely on other sensors and maintain stable flight without positioning.
-
Magneto/GNSS Heading Failure: In the event of a failure in the magnetometer or GNSS heading Position or Automated Modes, the flight controller will automatically shift the system to altitude mode. This ensures that the system can still maintain its altitude and stability without relying on the heading information from these sensors.
-
Range Sensor Failure: When the range sensor encounters a failure, the flight controller will automatically reduce certain features or functionalities, such as terrrain hold and bank angle limit close to ground, that rely on range data. It is important to note that some features may not be available or may be limited due to the absence of range information.
