You have good points, I see you know a lot, I do not know much and maybe that inexperience played a trick on me, but I insist that DJI should do something about the interference with magnetic fields and not let the user assume all the blame before an accident for these reasons.
For example, I would have preferred a thousand times to activate the RTH when I detected these interferences, since the lack of control did not allow me to do anything to save it.
Hi bud,
I really do not know that much, but I did read up and test all my drones (Spark, MA, MPP) and, particularly, their failsafe and safety systems, for quite a bit before I really started putting them through their paces and flying a little more boldly.
As to the RTH, there is a real problem with activating it while you are less than a certain distance from the HP (20 meters, I think), the aircraft will just land.
As to the warnings before the flight, maybe there were none to report. Maybe your compass was fine while taking off from the balcony and as soon as you took the bird out a few feet, the compass received a wave of MI that made it deactivate.
UAV Forecast checks for "planetary" magnetic interference. This means usually solar activity can affect the Earth's Magnetic Field. When the KP index is high, you can expect more interference in the general area. However, it cannot, of course, account for you flying right next to a cell tower, a huge magnet, or in your case, a reinforced building. You are right to check UAV Forecast, but to be honest I really use it more to know the wind gusts conditions at the particular altitude I am wanting to fly in.
In any case, I am no one to be teaching lessons. I do hope you can get your drone repaired and I would be willing to bet that you will have gained valuable experience from this accident.
Good luck getting back airborne, and I do hope DJI helps you out with fixing your bird.
