I had a Mavic waypoint mission today wherein about 3/4 of the way through the mission, the controller vibrated, the words "OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE" flashed on the screen, and I could not gain control over the Mavic for almost 5 minutes. Vibrate, flash OA on display, vibrate. Over and over. Tried to switch to FPV mode to bring her home and she would not move. Eventually, she went into RTH and came home. So I don't understand the comment that obstacle avoidance is unavailable in waypoint missions.
Found several cases wherein low sun angle interfered with the forward obstacle avoidance system to disrupt waypoint missions.
My flight was almost precisely at the time of the winter solstice, 11:28AM EST 12/21/17, so yeah, that explains my issue. |
