Thomas,
You say: "I think it must be a solution with small movmens or whatever, that could make the drone go back in a SEMI-autoway instead of the ATTI."
The problem is - there is no easy solution. If compass, IMU and GPS are not in agreement, the AC must drop into ATTI so pilot has full control. Read about "toilet bowl effect" for drones so you will understand one of the reasons why (there are other reasons as well).
Yes - it is possible to start using GPS only and do a lot of hunting for position and figuring out if response of the drone to the commands is correct (even if compass and IMU are busted but GPS is healthy), but this requires more processing power. This would also require systems redundancy (which does exist in more expensive drones) because how would AC know that GPS shows good data and not false data due to some h/w error? Dangerous proposition. So Spark simply gives full control to the pilot.
I know that, at the surface, all sounds fairly simple. It is not. Decisions which DJI made are balanced and quite smart. Of course, this is not an excuse for issues which pilots do experience with Spark. But I must also say, following this forum and helping in analyzing logs, that DJI is fairly good at replacing lost or damaged drones if the problem was truly caused by their h/w or inefficiency of or bug in the software or firmware.
Having said that, your idea about ATTI learner mode is excellent.
