What happen if GCS signal is not reachable during mission execution?

General

Hi, all.

Suppose a drone is executing some missions.
Then, such missions will be stored in local storage of drone.
And, normally, I believe a drone keeps sending its status to GCS.

In this context, I just want to check whether a drone still executes its given mission even if GCS is not reachable via communication module (i.e., MAVLink).
We can imagine the situation like… it moves to so far place that its signal cannot be reached to GCS.

Do you have some idea for it?

Thank you

There is a parameter that controls what happens in such situations:
