POSSIBLE ACTION
In GPS-Mode the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV can fly in
wind speeds up to 12 m/s. If GPS-Mode is active
and there are gusts exceeding 12 m/s you must:
1. Switch to Height-Mode.
In this mode, the UAV can fly in wind speeds up
to 16 m/s.
2. Descend to a lower altitude, as wind speed
usually decreases at lower altitudes.
3. If you are in Height-Mode and wind speed
exceeds 16 m/s, descend and if the wind is still
too strong, land the system.
As long as the flight characteristics of the UAV
remain unchanged, fly back, land, and analyze the
cause of the display failure.
If flight characteristics changed regarding position
or altitude control, consider changing to Height-
Mode or Manual-Mode.
Keep the left control stick down and immediately
push the START/STOP button again too switch off
the motors. Extinguish the fire. Wait until the UAV
has cooled down. Follow the post-flight checklist
to store the UAS. Contact Intel support to get assis-
tance in determining the cause.
Land the UAV immediately on a safe landing area.
Push the START/STOP button to turn off the
motors. Extinguish the fire. Wait until the UAV has
cooled down. Follow the post-flight checklist to
store the UAS. Contact Intel support to get assis-
tance in determining the cause.
