System Safety
The autopilot conducts automatic preflight checks, permanently monitors system health and informs the operator instantly if an unusual or critical event is encountered. The autopilot will react according to the encountered error and enter predefined patterns to recover the failure, return to base or take emergency actions such as activating recovery equipment.
For especially safety critical applications a triple redundant autopilot version can be used to ensure a failsafe standard similar to manned aviation.AiD-H14E
