A total electrical failure on a UAV means the drone is falling off the sky. Happened a few times already .
morton : So, he takes off, doesn’t get very high and circles back to the Airfield – all in Radio silence. Those in the tower have a terrific view of him coming round, landing and running into the overshoot.
Am I missing something or have they photo-shopped out all the emergency services chasing after this Aircraft during a very non-standard approach and landing?
For ATC , it was a comm failure , nothing else. Happens also sometimes. No big deal in VMC in daylight. . . They did a good job making sure no-one was in the runway and probably send green light signals, and from the APP and the landing touchdown nothing indicated they would overrun in the end. I can see the button pushed only when they saw the snow clouds in the end...
