Mavik should determine the optimal and economical mode of the RTH. By its own speed and gas level. The choice to crawl like a tortoise or run in sports should make Mavik - according to the situation.
That would be nice, but I imagine it would be quite a complicated calculation that would need to be performed repeatedly during RTH to account for changing conditions such as wind speed. In the meantime, RTH should be treated as a convenience and not relied upon -- as it sometimes has been -- as the best or only way to return the drone to its home point.
I know how you feel Jake, I had same situation on my first Mavic flight, got a little to confident, flew a little to far out (over land tho!) & hitting RTH, my bird just hovered in the air, distance reading on monitor was actually going up, very slowly, My buddy who is very expierenced, told me to- Cancel RTH, switch to sport mode, & step on it! Bird out of sight now, but we could see distance reading going down, but slowly, & then we could see her chugging against the wind, Bubby, told me to loose altitude & luckily the wind at 20 meters was much less, made it home with 12% battery! |
