DJI recognizes that CSC is the major cause for accidents with their Phantom drones. Why is that? 1) Because it is a footnote in the user’s manual. 2) It’s not the procedure that we use regularly to turn engines off. 3) It’s a sticks situation that we can cross by during a regular flight. When we fly an aircraft, we do not pay attention the the sticks positions. We look the aircraft behavior and move sticks according to the fly attitude we want the aircraft to have. If there is a need for an emergency procedure to shut engines off it HAS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A FLY COMMAND. I strongly suggest that DJI puts a emergency button in the remote covered with a red tap. This is a universal sign for emergency trigger. For the current remotes, use a combination of pressing two buttons at the same time. People are losing their drones due to a poor engineering design for this procedure.
