What should you do if you lose sight of your drone?

Can you fly a drone behind a mountain?

What happens if you fly a drone off a cliff?

The drone is “dumb” and zero ground level is where you’ve taken off. So over the cliff it’ll fly at the same 10m as if over ground where you started. So you’ll be a lot higher from AGL under the drone and go into negative height when you descend.
