What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During the flight, the UAS lost signal which caused it to exit the programmed geofence and lose altitude. The pilot was unable to regain control and the drone landed on top of an employees vehicle which caused $1100 in damage. According to the pilot, a full investigation was conducted by the security department as well as the drone company, nightingale security. It was determined that there was a spelling error in the coding which caused the drone to read the GPS latitude as the altitude resulting in the loss of control. The accident occurred on the property of sanofi pasteur and the damage of the car was covered by the companies (sonafi/nightengale) insurance.
