I'm fairly new at flying drones and have received a lot of help on this forum. I have looked around for an answer to my problem, if there is a problem and can't see where anyone has posted on this. I have the P3S and it seems to be doing great. One thing that I have never had to do is calibrate it. No matter where I fly it, nothing about calibration comes up. After I turn on the controller, the Drone and then the Dji GO app,  it will say at the top of the app in yellow  that it's warming up. Then I will hear, home point updated and then it changes to green and says, ready to fly. I have the latest firmware and the newest version of the Dji GO app. I have flown it out to a distance of 1600 feet and as high as 1,000 ft. I can swipe the return home button and it comes right back every time. Should I leave it like it is since it is doing fine or am I missing something by not calibrating it? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin

Count your lucky stars!  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

No calibration is needed.
DJI still haven't updated the manual for the Standard but they have for the other Phantoms.
They now say: Only calibrate the compass when the DJI Go app or the status indicator prompt you to do so.
That's still not quite correct because when the DJI Go app or the status indicator prompt you to do so, the correct action is to move your Phantom away from the magnetic influence that the compass has detected.

I think you should leave the forum. You obviously are smart enough to fly and operate your aircraft properly. This forum is reserved for those who can't do any of those things.

You may be right Gee. Would you like for me to come over and show you how to fly yours?

The aircraft will do self-diagnostic test once powered on. No need to worry or calibrate as long as everything works well.

My P3P is now two years old, was only updated once and the compass was only calibrated once. It flys like a champion and never given me a minutes trouble. You are welcome to come over, can you hack the 12 hours of flying?

could handle the flight time but the cost{:4_142:} of getting there I couldn't handle..
