I am uncertain about the activation of a failsafe procedure if flying in Phantom Mode. In ready to fly - GPS mode in the event of a wifi failure or transmitter being turned off, the phantom returns home. However, if, whilst flying, I lose some satellites ( below 6 ) I presume I am now in ATTI mode. if I then lose wifi for whatever reason will failsafe activate in this situation?
I believe there is no GPS input in ATTI and the manual states that in "ready to Fly - non GPS mode an automatic landing can be made but there will be no drift compensation - fine. However, if it has lost GPS and thus position, how does it know where to return to? I assume it works on its recorded home position and the last known gps position and using the compass attempts a return from there - but if there is no GPS surely it cannot pinpoint the Home position before it commences descent.
Grateful if anypne can clarify 'muddled thinking'!
