Dear All,
Thanks for the explanations provided so far, however I still cannot agree with some of the findings. The Spark user manual states the following:
"If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded. "
Based on the above the HP should only be recorded before take off, never during flight, which makes absolutley sense as recording the HP during flight could lead to a non desired landing site.
The user manual also states the following in regards RTH Low-Battery:
"The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. Low-Battery RTH will only appear one time during flight."
From the screenshots provided, can you let me know what was the altitude of the aircraft before the RTH was triggered? The automatic thresholds of the aircrfat should have noticed the aircraft was clearly about to land, thus no RTH should have been triggered. What are these automatic triggers, specially altitude? The Spark does not have sensors above the aircraft, but it does have on the bottom, didn't the sensor record proximity to the ground before the RTH was triggered?
The documentation also states that the RTH is only triggered once per flight, however after the RTH was triggered and the spark hit some tree branches, I was able to avoid the first collision and I tried to land the spark on the roof but this is were the Spark decided to rise once again and eventually hit the tree branches again. This time I was not able to avoid the collision.
Finally, I certainly don't know, but thus the RTH trigger any audible alarm on the application?
Kind Regards,
