It's unlikely the Phantom could get 60m high and 180 metres out without getting GPS and recording a homepoint.
But if it did happen, I guess that could explain the failure to come home.
Once I had my P2V mark a homepoint behind me in the woods several hundred feet. And I didn't notice it until several months later when I went over the log. It only happened that once that I know of out of several hundred flights. I have no explanation. Also, sometimes when you're watching the AC and it's in RTH, it looks like it's hovering but actually it's slowly rising to min RTH height first, so you think it's not RTHing when actually it is. But the log wouldn't help us there. |
