# Temporary Loss of Aircraft Control in Manual Mode

<mark style="color:orange;">**Temporary Loss of Aircraft Control while Flying in a Manual Flight Mode**</mark> is defined as an aircraft that is momentarily behaving unexpectedly, dangerously, or abnormally while in a manual flight mode (**Loiter** or **Position**). Different from turbulence, loss of control typically results in a large, noticeable correction maneuver/attempt by the aircraft that saturates the aircraft's control authority. It is most likely the result of abnormal external influence on the aircraft or an issue with the aircraft itself.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**If experiencing temporary loss of aircraft control**, the Pilot in Command should bring the control sticks to center. This is recommended because attempting flight maneuvers can reduce the aircraft’s ability to correct for large anomalies.&#x20;

\
**Upon regaining aircraft control** the pilot should manually return to home and land or land in place using docile inputs. Upon landing inspect UAS for damage or abnormalities which could explain the temporary loss of control.
{% endhint %}

**Example:** Chipped or broken propeller blade, incorrectly attached payload.
