This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- A "lost link" is the loss of the command-and-control signal, and your pre-programmed failsafe setting determines the drone's action.
- The three common failsafe options are Return-to-Home (RTH), hover, and land-in-place.
- Your Return-to-Home (RTH) altitude must always be set higher than the tallest obstacle in your flight operation area.
- The Remote Pilot in Command (PIC) is ultimately responsible for the outcome of a lost link event, even if automated procedures are active.
- A lost link that results in serious injury or property damage over $500 may require an accident report to the FAA within 10 days under Part 107.9.
