Does anyone know what would cause the mode to keep changing. I had 18 satalites, nice clear area with no interference from anything near by.

It started when I flicked the P3 switch from P to F mode, could it be a dodgy switch? It stopped after I flicked the switch back and forward a couple of times.

Maybe a false alarm where your Phantom was actually in P-GPS the whole time but some glitch made the app report atti?

It did drift around quite a bit, gave me a shock as it disappeared past me at one point. Oh well, sure it was nothing important, flown a few km since and no problem

If it was drifting, then it was in atti.
If everything was functioning properly, the compass calibrataion is the obvious suspect.

I have found it's something to do with the controller switch going from p to f through a.

If I flip it quickly from p to f it sometimes goes a bit mad and GPS won't work.

If I go from P to A, let it hover for a couple of seconds then onto F it always works ok.

I always thought it was very odd to have Atti mode in the middle of 2 GPS modes.
