When the incident happened on Sunday I was about 6.5 miles away from the edge of a NFZ warning zone and in the weeks before that I'd been practicing in a local park that was 2.6 miles away from the edge of a warning zone.
The worrying thing is that it was telling me it was going to take a path home through a no fly zone when it was so close to me.
ever since DJi has stepped up this BS with flight zone restrictions and no fly zone enforcements, Mavic Pros and Sparks have been having a wild flurry of poor activity. it seems to be related to rather poor implementation of the flight zones and restrictions causing it... it seems to cause a hiccup in the processing chain which basically disrupts everything, right down to basically resetting GPS for a split moment.
the good news is you played your cards right, moment is a hiccup in the chain of events.. get a compass/IMU error, land it manually..regardless how legit or not that error maybe, not worth having the spark get confused and flying the wrong way. if we could have VPS/Atti mode as a manual trigger on the spark that would also be good.. to stop the automated systems tugging it the wrong way.
side note, for everyone. only use return to home as a last resort. if your drone whatever it maybe, spark, mavic, phantom... reasoning is during the flurry of glitches and interruptions in the processor... return to home can sometimes reset itself, in App it may show its at your feet, but in the drone's computers its somewhere else.. if all options are exhausted, then use RTH...
note to everyone: if you get a compass error land it right away, manually or click land button.. do not click return to home, dont attempt to fly it home... land it asap.. if it is a half mile away, i feel sorry for you but you have to race to it if you are worry someone will grab it... but if its grounded atleats it wont run amuck and get or break windows or hit a car or fall on a child.. |
