Forty odd,
Not an issue when on station at altitude; you could even try to sterilise the airspace for a spiral climb up and down. The issue is the 'lost link logic' and where/how the platform gets back down, autonomously, without endangering other airspace users. It's not CAT aircraft that's the issue (TCAS will help) but those non-Xpdr equipped Users that will pose a collision risk.
