What caused the GPS outage?

Actually we did not tune our failsafe properly. And we are using energy control loops.

In the second flight, we tried to tune the failsafe and we manually switched to GPS_LOST state. It was better, but again it did not properly control the airplane.

We can tolerate the additional weight, complexity and service effort. Is there anyone who added a second GPS?

Best regards,
Refik

Hi Refik

The behaviour at GPS loss can be configured for graceful degradation, see:

http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Failsafe#GPS_signal_lost

As soon as GPS is back, normal behaviour should restore.

Didn't this work in your case?

Reto

this was designed in the good old days of infrared attitude estimation. If the
attitude algorithm needs GPS it might fail after some time.

Thanks for the advice. This is really an annoying behaviour and a clear
step back from infrared attitude estimation.

I would heavily prefer a software solution for graceful degradation as
discussed in issue#358. I don't like an additional GPS as it adds
complexity, failure modes, cost, weight and installation and service effort.

Any solutions on providing an AHRS algorithm robust to GPS loss are highly
appreciated. For a limited timespan of 10, 20 or maybe even more seconds
that should be quite easily possible.

Regards, Reto

Hi Alonso,

the aircraft icon on the map shows you which way it's pointing...
It might be nice however to add the aircraft heading to the PFD at the
bottom, anyone up for this?

Cheers, Felix
