Why must lost-link and return-to-home settings be confirmed before takeoff rather than after a link failure occurs?
- A.They can only take effect if they are set and active before the control link is lost
- B.They are required entries for the aircraft maintenance log
- C.They increase the maximum range of the control link
Correct answer
A. They can only take effect if they are set and active before the control link is lost
Why
Failsafe behavior is programmed in advance, so the aircraft will follow whatever settings were in place when the link was lost. Verifying them on the ground ensures the aircraft will climb, return, hover, or land as intended for that site.
