Just looking at flight log,first thing I noticed was aircraft took off from a drive way so I’m thinking that this is where compass problems were picked up.
The aircraft did save homepoint, the flight consisted of controller flying aircraft straight up in the air to max height 120meters, it was never more than 2 metres from home, compass warning at approx 850 seconds, was completely ignored no attempt to land your spark, the compass problem only showed up as soon as Aircraft was moved forward and this is why I said that problem could well have been picked up on the ground.
Another compass warning followed quickly after and again was ignored no attempt made to land, in fact again this warning came as soon as Aircraft was moved horizontally .
Log ends shortly after this. We can only surmise that Aircraft went into Atti mode and as you said it lost signal, so no gps so it can’t find it’s way home it drifts on the wind until it reaches low or critical battery and lands. Only problem I see with this is at 10% battery it might not have enough to reach the ground, so it may have crashed to the ground.
RTH was never initiated, if it was after first warning I’m sure Aircraft would have begun to land. And while it may have lost radio signal and not RTH this is almost certainly because it was in Atti mode.
I don’t know what dji will do with this case you may get a warranty I’ve seen these go both ways, so hopefully it will work out for you.
One thing I will say about this from looking at the flight whoever flew this flight did not have a clue what they were doing, to receive two compass warnings and not do anything about it tells a lot about the pilot and his lack of experience,So if you get another drone it might be wise to help this pilot understand a bit more about flying. |
