Narrative: Tekever AR5 Evolution Mk 2, G-TEKV: Forced landing following simultaneous shutdown of both engines, Lydd Airport, Kent, 29 December 2020. The AAIB Final Report into the incident was published on 21 October 2021, and the following is the summary from it:
"While orbiting south of the runway in preparation for landing, both the unmanned aircraft’s engines shut down unexpectedly. The External Pilot on the ground, who was visual with the aircraft, took control and landed it without further incident. The dual engine shutdown was likely to have been caused by an on-aircraft data error. Various safety actions, including improvements to the aircraft’s hardware and software, and the Ground Control Station software, have been taken to reduce the risk of a reoccurrence".
