Wondering if you have activated the emergency motors cut , can you reactivate while  Phantom is falling from the sky?

Yes. I believe that if you are high enough you can CSC Start the phantom while it is falling, and has enough altitude to recover after the motors restart ..  But I wouldn't want to try/test it..

You can try it in the flight SIM, I wouldn't be prepared to test it using my aircraft

Agree, I certainly don't want to try it, just want to know for sure what all of the options are

One you are in the air and you turn off those motors its going to drop fast, even if it does restart the motors teh P4 might have even turned upside down or in its side

Disaster written all over it

There are one or two who claimed they have done it though without proof it is a bit far fetched to believe.....

Well, if u were at 500meters altitude, and did a kill, then immediate start, it is possible that you would get lucky.. There are people who claim that their quad got the props turning so fast in the reversed direction, and was so well leveled, that it actually did slow down the descent.. again.. not necessarily a proven occurrence in my mind.. I think DJI should test with some sort of "test dummy phantom" that has been built for crashing and testing crashing ;) Then they should post the results and tell NO ONE to ever try it!

In short, yes it is possible to restart the motors. Regaining stability before it hits the ground is just down to luck. The higher you are when you try this, the longer you have to recover.

Try it and let us know how you get on.

Yes you can. You can switch to ATTI Mode and bring things back to life and then go back into P Mode if you want.

Bet you cant prove it

No need to restart the motors; Your Phantom will autorotate all the way to the scene of the crash.

And what I love, it will always reach the scene of the crash EXACTLY!!! I am not sure how they achieve it, but it just amazes me on how accurate this technology is, even in the way it crashes! I have never heard of a case where the actual collision with the ground was anywhere but bulls-eye of the actual ground crash ground 0! Even if a tree is involved, or a building, eventually, it's just perfect 10 score!

It can be done if you have the height. Although, I am not going to try it.
