Well, not sure why it even worked in the first place. The syntax of the action was wrong, and it doesnt take any additional arguments apart from the unit which player controls. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Actions#BackFromUAV I corrected the syntax on wiki, please let me know if it works in all cases

Well that explains a lot...

getConnectedUAVUnit player action ["BackFromUAV"] (what you have put on the wiki) works without issue on both the UGV Stomper and MQ-12 falcon drones in both gunner and driver turrets (2.10.149973).

However, getConnectedUAV player action ["BackFromUAV"] still doesn't work on the MQ-12 falcon drone when user is in the gunner turret.

I guess putting a note on the wiki saying that getConnectedUAV shouldn't be used, as it doesn't always work, is enough of a bug fix for me.

I have edited it to the correct description already, don’t think you need a note

In that case I think this ticket can be closed.
