[QUOTE="nilanjan118, post: 106324, member: 13902"] In this particular case, the AC was almost above home point at about 170 ft altitude when it went into Atti mode. Quite understandable that it is difficult to maintain VLOS when the AC is directly overhead at such altitude. Now since the OP had pressed RTH he must have been thinking that the AC would descend and land on its own. He was probably taken by surprise when it didn't and by the time he could react, it drifted away beyond VLOS. In hindsight, we can say that he would have stood a better chance by not running after the drone and by trying to fly it back manually instead. The flight log clearly shows that the AC was responsive to the RC stick inputs even while it was drifting away. [/QUOTE]
