Since you are deaf pay attention to any vibrations issued by the controller/phone, generally I find there is a message on the phone screen and maybe your controller. I have gone deaf so that is what I sometimes do.
Whilst I do watch the drone, it is wise to keep an eye on the battery level via 'occasional' glances, so that you are not caught out by the drone suddenly being in a low battery situation. This is even more important when the drone is over water and most of my flights would be over water.
That said, with other drones, I have countered a drone wanting to "low battery RTH" to 'somewhere else' (I had moved from the home point and not reset it) with full down stick, I do not know if the MA behaves differently.
With regards to literally running out of battery whilst airborne, assuming the MA behaves in the same way as other DJI drone it should, if kept in the air long enough, enter the critical battery level landing phase (possibly around 10%) and descend, whether it is low enough to actually reach the ground depends on how high it is. In normal flights I would expect it to be low enough to do that but there has been at least one thread here or on MavicPilots where the drone went exceedingly high, well above 500m, (that was an equipment failure , a rare thing) and it ran out of battery whilst airborne and was lost. |
