Upon GPS signal loss, the remote pilot should immediately:

• A. Operate the sUAS normally, noting to account for any mode or control changes that occur if GPS is lost.
• B. Abort mission and land immediately.
• C. Increase altitude to regain GPS.
• D. Switch to manual mode only.

Answer: (A)

When GPS is lost, the drone can no longer rely on GPS-based position hold, and some flight modes may switch to non-GPS behavior (like ATTI), which can cause drifting or less precise control. The best approach is to keep flying as you were, but stay attentive to how the aircraft might change modes and require more manual input. Maintain normal control, monitor the GPS status, and be prepared for mode changes or degraded stability. This avoids unnecessary action like aborting the mission or forcing a single mode, while ensuring you can safely navigate and land if GPS isn’t quickly reacquired.
