As a ARMY vet that relied on the radio, I understand following instructions. I NEVER saw in the manual that you should not take off until you had a certain number of satellite connections. The software won't let you take off until it has communication with gps! As always, I waited until the green bar said it was safe to take off!
Take a look at the video on the DJI Mavi Air page where it says "Take Flight in Seconds" https://www.dji.com/mavic-air/info#video It does NOT say "wait until you have a certain number of satellites before take off".
Hi, I sometimes wonder about people who freely give out information on this site, and have no problems in finding pilot error, without giving you all the facts.
1/ if you take off without gps or weak gps your craft will be limited to height 16ft , in your case you can see the craft climbing to 18 ft 22ft 24ft so is this a malfunction in the aircraft or aircrafts softwear.
2/ you should get a warning your in a NFZ and although others say this is not the case, then let’s look at that, “You get no warning because weak gps yet weak gps allows you to fly above its limit of 16 ft “
In turn when turning on craft you will always get warning of NFZ immediately before sat count before homepoint is set and before go fly, then why is it when in the air you get message homepoint then landing then close to NFZ or in your case passing a NFZ.
It seems that those examining logs will do almost anything to get them to fit with their own logic and accept no other.
There are certain things your craft is supposed to do alongside your app, one is warn you of NFZ now if we are to believe those who adamantly say you didn’t receive message because of weak gps, then show me where it warns of this in any manual.
Two if your craft is not supposed to fly above 16ft in weak gps, and your log shows it has flown to 24ft, this is a malfunction and we know malfunctions are covered by warranty.
Don’t let others discourage you or tell you it was pilot error, one of those who are saying this have also said on this forum that it’s fine to take off with low number of satellites and defended this action.
Dji will make a decision on this andif they find pilot error then you should be entitled to know exactly why and if that’s the case I hope it’s explained correctly.
It’s my opinion that you flew craft fine particularly whenin Atti mode , your mistakes have been made by many of which by far a very high percentage of users have gotten away with and most of them still not aware of what they done.
Take a case with dji and I wish you luck.
I’ll give you an instance, a couple of weeks ago a member here put up his log, it was immediately examined and he was told that it was not his problem that it was a problem of motor failure.
But on closer inspection is was noticed by another member that it had crashed into a tree and this is what caused motor failure, this is how logs can be easily analyzed wrong, lol
And lastly Atti or attitude has nothing to do with being bad, in fact when we address some as having attitude it is usually associated with how confident they are . |
