Ahh, gotcha. But in this case, I have found a drone on my property. No name, no FAA ID, no identifying marks. No SD card in the camera. All I have is the drone itself, and there's no record of the flight that brought it to my property. That's what's so odd, and why I am wondering how that could have happened...
The Phantom 3 standard was a very basic drone.
DJI released the much more advanced P3 Advanced and Pro models in 2015 and four months later released the Standard.
It was an economy model employing technology which had already been superseded by the much better Advanced and Pro.
If the owner didn't bother to label the drone, they didn't care very much about having it returned.
If it wasn't damaged the most likely reason for its loss was the flyer flying too far for the drone to be able to make the return trip.
Perhaps they failed to consider the wind speed and direction and flew downwind and it couldn't get home pushing into a headwind.
On the battery reaching critical low voltage, the drone would have autolanded to prevent crashing. |
