  •  Assess the state of the drone via:
    •  error messages on the controller
    •  irregularities in flight pattern
    •  visual faults on the drone
  •  If this is severe, the drone has likely crashed already. If not: try to control its descent, keeping away from bystanders, animals, environmental hazards, buildings, and controlled airspace.
  •  If the damage is moderate, but the flight pattern is still being affected: navigate to a relatively safe + close landing site and land ASAP.
  •  If the damage is minor, and the flight pattern is not affected, bring the drone back to its landing site in a safe manner. Do not attempt any risky manoeuvres before assessing the damage close-up.
  •  Before retrieving or touching the drone:
    •  visually inspect for damage, paying attention to motors and battery
    •  if safe, turn the battery off and remove it
    •  bring it to control station if not already there
  •  assess damage
  •  s environment
