AMPLIFICATION
An FPV Loss of Signal (LOS) can occur if the aircraft flies out of range, or if it flies
behind an object that interrupts the signal line of sight. Regaining visual contact
is the preferred method to reestablish control of the aircraft, either with the pilot
seeing the aircraft, or by the use of a second visual observer.
Yawing the aircraft can help signal reception if the body of the aircraft is blocking the
line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
If FPV signal or visual contact cannot be reestablished, enabling Return To Home
can be used to bring the aircraft back to signal reception range.
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and avoid other aircraft,
people or obstacles. Always maintain direct line of sight with ALTA
8 during flight, use visual observers as operations require, and
follow local regulations regarding see-and-avoid requirements.
