So a couple nights ago, I went out to my nearby football field at 11pm for some night footage. I unpack my Phantom 3 Advanced, set it all up, and take off. I fly for several minutes above the small town I live in. At this point I'm at 392ft high, and around 3000ft away in perfect reception. Footage is amazing, getting great stuff when I get hammered with two warnings simultaneously: 1- Motor Obstructed, 2- Low Altitude Mode (or something similar) engaged. Upon seeing this, I activate return to home immediately, and it flies straight over with no issue. I pull out a light and inspect every inch of the machine and find nothing abnormal. I look at the flight log to see when the warnings appeared, but what I see confuses me quite a bit. As the Phantom sees it, I had flown from North Georgia to the western coast of Africa! And it reached a quite impressive max height of 8600ft! So really, I'm just bewildered as to what might have caused this. I flew it around the field afterwards and the next morning, but no such errors appeared again. |
