First instinct is to say that this was the Landing Protection feature. It acts kind of like downwards OA. When enabled, the Mavic will try to maintain a height of 0.5m from anything below, and that unfortunately means it can rise up into overhead obstacles. It's a feature that I don't like very much, since there are no upward facing sensors. I prefer to leave Landing Protection off.
In your case, it looks like it rose more than 0.5m, though. That could be just because of momentum or inaccurate VPS readings, but I also wonder if the Mavic may have gone into ATTI mode due to it being under that roof. Can you check the playback of your flight and see if it switched into ATTI mode, or if the GPS signal dropped significantly?
Hi Jason,
It did not go into ATTI mode, the GPS only dropped from 16 to 11-12 satellites. Looking at the flight logs, it looks like the height went from 6.6ft feet before I went under the roof, to 3.3 feet. Then, when I went over the table bench, it dropped to 0 which may have caused it to rise? I'm not sure here, but it's my best guess.
I'm thinking this might be related to the terrain follow feature.
