Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Limitations

The aircraft needs a working GNSS signal to operate properly in mission and position modes. Arming will be restricted if the GNSS signal is unavailable due to environmental conditions. If the GNSS signal is lost during flight for an extended period, the position estimator's dead-reckoning function will deteriorate and could lead to the termination of the flight.
