6. Emergencies
In this section we discuss a number of possible in flight emergencies and how the pilot/operator should respond.
This is not intended to be a complete list but is instead meant to highlight several possibilities.
6.1 Lost Link
In the event that your X PlusOne loses contact with your transmitter it will enter a radio failsafe mode.
Your X PlusOne will act in one of two ways depending on how it is equipped
1. Standard X PlusOne
a. Craft will enter hover mode and will begin descending
b. After 20 seconds the motors will shut off
2. Platinum Option
a. If the craft has a valid GPS position it will Return-to-Launch (RTL) this means it will return and
land at the spot it took off from
b. If the craft does not have a valid GPS position it will land in its current position
6.2 Bird Attack
What to do if your aircraft is attacked by a bird. If hovering, transition to forward flight. If in forward flight,
transition to hover. Attempt to evade the attacker. The method of attack will determine the best course of
action. If the attack continues land the craft. If the attack stops, continue the flight at your discretion.
