Before flying off somewhere, you need to set your HOME point. Otherwise the aircraft will think you're still in the last location where it was set. In most cases, it will set it automatically but not always.
For example, if I fly at the local AMA field and set RTH there - then a few days later fly at my house (maybe 10 miles away) and don't set the HOME point, if I press RTH, it will want to go back to the AMA field. Not good.
I understand that, but would that be considered a Flyaway?
1. You know where the drone went if you have lost control.
2. You can cancel the return to home as soon as you realise what's happening (and can reset the RTH home point (to the controller position, for example) via the app).
3. As this is pilot error, would the Flyaway protection cover it?
Also, does the RTH point not update as soon as the aircraft fix is strong enough, so the RTH point would not be where you flew previously, but somewhere hopefully closer to your most recent take of point - assuming a GPS fix could be achieved there.
