THE PILOT WAS INTERVIEWED AND NO FAULT BY THE PILOT WAS FOUND DURING THE DISCUSSION.

IT IS NOT KNOWN IF ANY RADIO INTERFERENCE CAUSED THE UAS TO BE UNRESPONSIVE, AN INTERNAL SYSTEM FAULT, OR MOMENTARY GPS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHICH MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE UAS TO DEFAULT TO RETURN TO HOME MODE. UAS STRUCK A STAINED GLASS WINDOW AND BROKE A PIECE OF GLASS. UAS THEN FELL TO THE GROUND. HE WAS THEN NOTIFIED LATER THAT THE DAMAGE QUOTED WAS $3800.00. HE THEN REPORTED THE ACCIDENT. THE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED LATER THAN THE 10 DAY REQUIREMENT BECAUSE HE DID NOT FIND OUT HOW MUCH THE DAMAGE WOULD COST UNTIL AFTER HE RECEIVED THE QUOTE FOR REPAIR FROM THE CHURCH.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
