As weird as this sounds, this happened this afternoon. The rescue squad I'm a member of just got a new P3S this week. I did the FW update and took it out in the backyard for a quick test flight. We haven't recieved the tablet holder yet so I laid the iPad Mini 4 on a chair beside me, took off and was buzzing around the yard when all of a sudden it started to land by itself, scared the crap out of me! Once I managed to streer clear of the tree top it was headed for and got it safely on the ground, glanced over at the IPad and a big fat bug had parked itself on the screen on the Land icon.
Since I usually fly a Mavic, it didn't occur to me to flip the S1 switch to cancel auto land until after I had landed it.

Actually, that was the new DJI micro Drone called the "Bug"
It was there testing their ability to intervene in any unsafe flying operations they deem inappropriate, and then they can simply takeover control as necessary...no seriously, that's what it is

Aloha FatherXmas,

     You made my day!  So many contributors (including myself) refer to bugs that are or are not here or there.   I think this is the first real bug has been a part of this Forum!  Mahalo!

Aloha and Drone On!

May be this micro drone was sent from the FAA,that forced the Phantom to land.
