Whilst ascending inside a shaft, the UAV suffered a compass error and started manoeuvring in a clockwise rotation. The UAV did not respond to the remote pilot’s inputs and was subsequently recovered from the bottom of the shaft . The compass error was believed to have been caused by environmental interference.
