Objectives

Describe the redundant sensor suite and the placement logic of GPS, rangefinder, and camera; explain Attitude, Loiter, Auto/Guided, and RTL behavior, including which modes are GPS-dependent; state which failure classes produce no cockpit indication.

Outline

  • Redundant barometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes — and EKF lane switching in plain language.
  • Attitude mode as the universal fallback: every emergency procedure in this course converges on it.
  • Wind drift in Attitude vs. position hold in Loiter — and why that difference decides landings.
  • Structural failure has no alarm: the case for the inspection culture of Topic 3.

Outline fidelity for demonstration.
