Folks,
I had this happen to me the other weekend.
I was flying, wanting to do a panning shot of a railroad bridge.
I was in a gap between some no fly areas. But at least 1mi away from the edge of any no fly zone.
2nd flight, I take off, go over the river, I get a high wind warning, and figure, OK, fly it back to me.
But then on an absolutely clear sky, I get GPS signal loss warning, RTH warning telling me that to RTH, requires flight through a no-fly zone (which is not true). Switch to ATTI and a couple of other error messages.
And then the drone hauls tail straight to some nearby trees and crashes into the trees. And I mean it hauled butt, flying fast with me not applying any forward stick to it. During the time from when the error messages 1st show up to when it crashed, I have absolutely no control or response from the remote. I try to give it altitude to go over the trees, give it back direction to slow it or stop it, and nothing.
When you look at the flight log, when the thing crashed into the trees, the log shows it still over the middle of the river. Did I get jammed? Or is this another DJI "safety" feature. It thinks it's in a no-fly, and forces a landing, no matter that.
It took me 2 days to get it out of the tree.
Yes, I was in a warning area, but no where near a no-fly zone. I had already done one entire flight along the same path without a problem. GPS signal loss on a perfectly clear day?
I mean I am ready to just sell this damn thing if DJI cannot find a way to allow me to "safely" fly it. It's gotten to a point of such paranoia, that DJI seems to have this thing programmed that if something goes wrong, force a landing with no means for a user to intervene or correct a hazardous flight path they arbitrarily chose.
Any ideas as to what happened here? .
