i've been occasionally getting this error too. I have no idea if it would have landed hard as I've hand caught it every time. I get the message, look up at the P4P and the rear LEDs are solid red. Immediately fly it back... attempt to land but stop inches above the ground. Then I fly it to hand, cycle power and it's back to flying normally again. I've seen it 4 times in 30 or 40 flights. Others have suggested it has no effect on flying (as there are no downward infrared sensors) however, I noticed the first time it happened that it did not slow it's descent when it got close to landing. So, I didn't land, I hand caught it. (This was due to the number of cracked shell posts I'd seen here) Each time I've seen it, I attempted the same landing and it is not controlling the speed of descent with the underside infrared sensors. Every normal flight, I can descend at full speed (stick pulled full back) and it will slow as it gets close to the ground. When the rear LEDs are red and this message appears, it does not react to it's proximity to the ground.
I'm a little miffed at myself that I didn't make note of when it started, what rev of firmware, how many flights etc... But there is a problem, and it does affect the ultrasonic sensors under the aircraft. I recently upgraded the firmware to the 0600 rev. As soon as I did I began having problems with the gimbal twitching when photos are taken with the camera button on the remote. It would actually smear the photo. I rolled the F/W back to 0300 and it stopped so that's where it is. Common to most of the bizarre problems we read about here, this is one DJI might or might not be looking into. We don't ever know because they always forward it to the engineers and thank us for our patience.
