The DJI Fly app is sometimes unable to change the flight mode of the drone. It displays "N/A" where the S/P/C flight mode should be visible. Tapping it does nothing.

It happened to me twice (the first time on v1.0.3 and today on v1.0.4). Landing the drone and restarting it does not solve the problem. Restarting DJI Fly app fixes it.

See the screenshot attached.

Do you face the same problem? It's rather rare because it happened twice in my 50 flights "experience". What might be causing this?

I've noticed that you cannot seem to be able to switch fly mode when in airplane mode as someone suggested for better range.

I have also seen the n/a flymode.

don't disable bluetooth/put in airplane mode from inside the app. that causes the issue, also if it happens you can check to see that it also renders RC video/photo buttons not working:

here is a video of the issue:

well how hard is to activate airplane mode before you open the app??? if you don't like the solution you can always fly like that or restart the app when it happens, it is up to you...
