I need help understanding a recent crash. Basic info:
  • Matrice 100, DJI Go, iOS
  • 5-10mph wind
  • RTH altitude 197 ft
  • Flying in Atti mode
  • Switch to P-GPS mode for landing (at 284ft AGL, 20% battery)
  • UAV goes into rapid (30mph) counterclockwise arc
  • UAV not responsive to pilot input (though 100% RC signal)
  • Switch back to Atti to land - UAV seems to be flying normally
  • At 10% battery mode auto-switches to AutoLanding
  • UAV goes into rapid counterclockwise arc again (appears to be same behavior as above when switched to P-GPS - but this time low to ground because I was close to landing), not responding to pilot inputs
  • 21 seconds after mode switched to AutoLanding UAV has crashed at 30mph, 8% battery, 248ft horizontal from home point (no injuries, but siginificant UAV damage)
  • Flight log seems to have accurate record of locations, elevations, speeds, pilot inputs, etc. for entire flight



Errors seen in log:
  • "Warning:In Flight, working encounters bias large" (x3) - what does this one mean? I didn't notice it on screen during flight - seems to pop up and then go away quickly and I am usually watching the UAV when flying in Atti mode.
  • Not Enough Force/ESC Error (many)



Some specific questions:
  • Is there a way to (quickly) override AutoLanding once it has initiated?  
  • Has anyone heard of this counter-clockwise looping flight previously? What would cause UAV to do that?
  • Why would UAV in AutoLanding mode do anything other than come straight down?



Thank you for any help!
