When I have been able to fly my Mavic Pro P, I normally (but not always) fly MPp back and landed it manually.
On two recent occasions, thanks to problems with RC disconneting from SmartDevice (and refusing to reconnect), MPp flew back via triggered RTH from me trying a RC reboot.
Even though I was in open flat area (roughly 90-feet by 90-feet), I was still glad MPp did have Precision landing. MPp set down nearly on top of take off spot, as expected.
There you go again creating more hysteria, you only experience with dji aircraft is with Mavic Pro or P, how do you think users of other dji aircraft managed without precision landing.
Answer not a problem at all, and no reports of aircraft landing on roofs or in other fields down at the supermarket.
I have flown P4 for two years RTH landing is always without fail within a couple of feet, in fact in the rules for my country and in the new rules being put forward by EASA you must have clearance of 3 metres when taking off and 5 metres when landing.
I have tested RTH with M2 and couldn’t get it to land further than 8 inches from take off, I have seen and witnessed many aircraft with precision landing land a lot further away.
Maybe you will show us a case of craft without precision landing land in another field or on a roof or in someone else’s property.
Giving yourself a minimum of 3 metres is not only correct but safe and taken off from an area with 3 metres clearance is a minimum anyone flying safe should allow, if some choose to take off from balcony or right next to a building wall or other obstruction , it won’t matter whether they have precision landing or not, we have seen some right here on this forum flying from balconies or flying from inside hotel rooms and it nearly always ends in disaster, and if it does nothing but stop this practice then both public and property will be a lot better off.
If gps is off or not working correctly it won’t matter whether you have precision landing or not as RTH depends on gps to get home and land.
When you fly a craft without precision landing you will realise how accurate and dependable it really is, until then all you are doing is trying to be the fly in the ointment.
Remember many of us have flown without precision landing and know how accurate it is, we all should be aware whether we have precision landing or not that RTH is still the responsibility of the pilot to insure that the aircraft has enough room for landing safely, and controller should always be on hand to insure safe landing. |
