Hello everyone, i have a Mavic Air since 2 weeks and something strange happen to my drone today !
1 / I was making a music video so I was in cinema mode and I know the risks of this mode. However, the drone flew very close to me (3 – 4 meters of altitude). It was a proper flight environment (Wan Chai Park zone ), the flight was very safe. 2 / I had 50% of battery, the GPS was rather stable (the drone never switched between GPS and ATTI mode during the last minute previous the accident), I controlled the drone by myself and all went well until the moment when the drone began to litteraly fly by itself and slowly enter into the buildings, I saw the drone crossing Bullock Lane then turn to Wan Chai Road by itself (after 09:25 moment ). It was scary.
After looking at the data of my last flight, i think there was a problem with vision positioning system at the time. At 9:26, the drone may have geo located itself at the intersection of Wan Chai Road and Burrows Street by mistake and so moved very quickly towards this GPS coordinate to "get back into place". I have nothing to do with this very quick move and was in a proper flight environment. So I think that maybe a problem due to a bad vision positioning system happen. The control of the device was perfect during all the 9 minutes and 25 seconds of flighy and after the drone was no longer controllable. By the way, I don’t know where the drone is right now. And i ask to DJI: The response of the Data analysis team is The conclusions of the data analysis of case number CAS-2694923-Z5X2H9 are as follows:
Flight time 2019-1-21 02:11:30
1. The user uses the image mode, but due to the high flying environment, the GPS signal is blocked, and the GPS signal quality level often falls to 0 grid. At this time, the aircraft actually works in the attitude mode; 2. In the attitude mode, the aircraft cannot hover, brake and avoid obstacles at a fixed point, and the horizontal direction will drift; 3. The flight record is cut off at T=09:59 and H=12.1m.
1/ The GPS signal was stable just before the accident : during the last minute previous the accident, the signal was clear and never switched between GPS and ATTI mode. 2/ I know the drone couldn't recognize the obstacles and I was flying my drone perfectly during all the 9 minutes and 25 seconds (what happen after??)
If you have ever had this similar strange experience with your Mavic Air, I would like to have an explanation and try to figure it how. Also, I would like to contest the data analysis's decision. How am I supposed to do that?
Thanks for your help and your time, Nicolas
