Trust me, when you are on a boat, hover, don't RTH. If you are on a boat, you will obviously be able to turn around and follow your line you are provided on your application. Never give your drone a chance to go down in the water . You will regain transmission because of course you will act quickly when you lose transmission even if your battery level is low. If your drone goes in the opposite direction with a low battery, well then you are just screwed. If you hover, you only need a few seconds to get back in range, establish a connection, and while the boat is driving back towards the drone, you can start a manual landing sequences by taking back over the drone. Sure if you are able to continuously push RTH at your current location that may be optimal, but sorry it just doesn't work that way when you are going fast on the water. Once you get a loss of transmission signal, It's going back to the last place, and unless you are in the same place, from my experience, I'd rather be safe knowing I can definitely go back to gather transmission, then constantly worrying about my last position and updating my RTH position. I would actually suggest putting your low batter warning to a pretty high number (like 25/30) and your drone to hover on all operator roaming/moving flights. This way you can simply navigate back to your drones last position using your navigation sat. |
