Hazard

Flight Conditions

Inferred by sensing abnormal flight atitudes:

- Max wing banking

H2

- Max & Min climb rate

H2

Or other abnormal flight conditions:

- Max & Min speed

H2

- Max & Min altitude

H3

- Max crosstrack error (inability to follow the programmed path)

H5

Airworthness

- Sensor failure

H5

- General hardware fault (electronics)

- Nonsense data from sensors

- Dead engine

- Faulty communication with the ground station

- Low Battery

- Processor failure

- Software watchdog timer expiration

- Software fault preventing heartbeat generation

Actions

- Send a warning to the ground station in dangerous situations

H2, H3, H5

- Abort mission and return home when there is still flight conditions

H5

- Terminate the flight promptly (emergency parachute landing)
