Go away, you have effectively hijacked the OP's thread, and that is plain rude.

For someone who has already said in an earlier post, that he doesn't care (your own words,)'you can't seem to keep away from this, it doesn't matter if the quad went up 10 feet or 10000 feet because as you said you don't care, you seem to have your head so far up your arse, that you can't even post to this thread without duplicating all the time.
Get the basics right first

Double post much? How could you possibly expect to fly a drone if you can't even work a forum right. I see a "lost drone due to malfunction" post in the future with your name on it, just without the malfunction part.

It could be compass related - if so, it's perhaps a shared responsibility. The P4 has dual compasses and other redundancies for exactly that reason. Many P3s have been flown through and over bridges, buildings, cruise ships, container ports and other areas with massive amount of metal. In fact, DJI HQ and their flagship stores are in very dense (metal filled) areas.

One thing about DJI - they constantly learn and improve. If they find a shortcoming in the programming, they will make attempts to fix it in the future. After all, crashed drones are of no benefit to them...or the customers. So we both want the same things.

It would be interesting to do a bunch of tests with various magnetic influences. My thinking is that it is mostly upon calibration and startup where such compass errors occur - that is, the drone is smart enough to ignore crazy readings (and look at the GPS and IMU) during flight.
I recently took my P3 up the side of a very tall industrial chimney with large cellular reflectors on top - it didn't misbehave at all.

It would not seem that a compass would say "speed errors" because speed is mostly based on GPS and IMU (probably)....it would say "Compass Error" only.

To me it doesn't seem like lots of metal should cause a problem because they aren't magnetic. If you stick a magnet to your drier it sticks, but yet if you stick a compass near your drier nothing happens. It sticks to magnetic things but isn't magnetic (I coupled be totally wrong on this so don't quote me)

Awesome Monday it is! Thank you!

Lots of weird stuff in the CSV file:

06:57 to 07:12 flight mode set to atti, no control input during this period.
during this time drone drifts with the wind gradually picking up speed to about 11mph
when switched back to PGPS drone stops and hovers.  Appears to be done by operator.

08:04 to 08:32 same

09:09-09:58 same but some gyro motion (is that gimbal movement?)

13:26.6-13:29.8  during this time GPS data is absolutely unchanged, weird

13:50.3 atti mode for -.5 sec
13:51.9 atti mode for 0.5 sec
13:50-13:54 speed errors and rapid cycling to/from atti is drone switching to ATTI because of GPS data?
I believe that SPEED ERROR means that GPS data jumps an unreasonable value from one sample to the next,
producing an obviously bad speed value.  Drone may see this as a GPS failure and switch temporarily to ATTI??
14:05 rapid cycling to atti 3 times.
14:14-14:26  speed errors and descent (commanded) from 90 to 14 feet
then drift down to 9 feet
13:27.8 altitude jumps instantly from 11 to 28 feet
14:41 down throttle commanded, descend from 59 to 25 ft then LOS

A lot of data values after return of signal are weird.  Altitude is obviously wrong.
GPS data shows a repeatuing pattern every second, 0.8 seconds of travel in one direction at 11MPH
then 0.2 seconds of travel in opposite directioon at 44MPH, repeats every second.

X, Y, and Z axis accelerometer values do not change after return of signal.

Big battery voltage hit just before LOS.

If it hit something you would have seen the motor cutout errors in the screen so your story is invalid.

No problem at all, it's a family forum and there are many many little ones on here so we have to keep civil and no foul language.
Thanks

So dji Ken it's ok to take down my post, but when others use wtf that's not offensive to children or family's double standards..

WTF = Why The Face, not really offensive at all unless you are feeling very delicate tonight ?

Curious,  did you manually switch to atti a few times for about 10 seconds?  What about rapid switching between A and P modes, like 2-3 times a second?

Ken,  my Phantom 3 Std seems to have gotten caught up in some high winds (22 mph reported) and I could no longer see lights or camera direction (iPhone does not view well in the sun) heading toward some high power lines.  Yikes, anyway it crashed bout 2000 ft away and luckily I was able to recover it.  My question -  I open my DJI Go on iPhone and as I stroll the ...
