    There are several types of failsafe mechanisms for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs): Radio failsafe triggers return-to-launch (RTL) or landing modes when the radio connection is lost between the pilot's controller and the UAV. Battery failsafe triggers RTL or landing when the battery voltage or remaining power drops below a threshold. GPS failsafe triggers landing or altitude hold if the UAV loses GPS lock or experiences glitches for over 5 seconds during flight modes requiring GPS. Ground control station (GCS) failsafe triggers RTL or landing if the connection is lost between the UAV and the GCS. Fence failsafe triggers RTL or landing if the UAV strays outside a virtual

    Failsafe.

    Fence failsafe.

    Radio Failsafe is a most important failsafe type


    because If we don't use it, our vehicle will soon
    or late flyaway or drop from the sky during
    radio loss, except if we did set RTL or LAND
    mode.

    The battery failsafe can be set-up to


    automatically trigger an RTL or LAND when
    the vehicle battery voltage or estimated
    remaining power has crossed a configurable
    threshold.

    GPS Systems can occasionally drop the signal or


    provide significantly inaccurate position
    information (aka glitches). While errors are
    more likely in conditions where the GPS signal
    can bounce off multiple paths before reaching
    the receiver (multipathing), errors can
    occasionally occur even with clear sky.

    A ground control station (GCS) provides the


    facilities for human control of unmanned
    vehicles in the air so there are more messages
    are exchange between the vehicle and GCS via
    telemetry. Sometimes the connection between
    them is lost which will affect the control of the
    vehicle , so using this type of failsafe is very
    efficient. If the failsafe clears (contact with the
    ground station is restored) the vehicle will
    remain in its current flight mode.
    It is a simple tin can shaped fence centered on
    home that will attempt to stop vehicle from
    flying too far away by initiating an RTL. The
    maximum circular distance and altitude and the
    vehicle behavior when the fence is reached can
    be configured using ground control station.

    When the failsafe will trigger


    and What will happen
    The pilot turns off the RC
    transmitter .
    The vehicle travels outside of
    RC range (usually at around
    500m ~ 700m).
    The receiver loses power
    (unlikely) . It will switch into
    RTL or LAND.
    voltage drops below 10.5
    volts (configurable) for more
    than 10 seconds.
    Remaining capacity falls
    below the configurable
    Reserved MAH. It will switch
    into RTL or LAND
    A GPS failsafe event will occur
    if GPS 3D lock or the position
    Glitches for at least 5
    seconds while vehicle is in a
    mode that requires the GPS
    (RTL, Auto, Loiter, Circle,
    Position, or Guided ) .The GPS
    failsafe response can be set to
    Land or switch to AltHold
    mode.
    RTL Mode If the GPS lock
    and are more than 2 meters
    from your home position.
    LAND Mode if you have
    no GPS lock or are within 2
    meters of home.
    Continue with the mission
    if you are in AUTO mode and
    have set the GCS Failsafe.

    If the vehicle strays outside


    these borders it will switch into
    RTL or LAND.
