| How does losing the GPS signal and/or barametric pressure signal whilst in flight affect the way the heli is controlled?

hi Griffo,
First I want to say that the chance of lost track to GPS will be very very rare, if you are flying the helicopter in a reasonably open space, where most AP work will take place.
If helicopter fly to some place, such as deep in the urban canyon（you should avoid this）， where less than 5 gps stars are in view, the autopilot will go into attitude holding mode that, it will start to drift slowly... but the altitude will still be holding.
There is a high brightness LED on the helicopter indicating the GPS condition. so you can see it from more than 100 meters away. |
