Hi,

I lost My Mavic during a simple and quiet shore following, I received 1 warning about poor reception and then lost connection forever (never returned home).
Can you please help me understand what happened ?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately it appears that you flew behind a cliff that was well above your RTH altitude of 20m, which to be honest was much too low to be flying in that area. The image below shows the approximate last known location of your Mavic (where the green line ends) and you can see that the home point was behind the large cliff. The signal loss would have occurred as soon as it flew behind the cliff, and at some point it probably initiated RTH. Assuming that obstacle avoidance was enabled it would normally try to ascend to avoid the cliff, but since it was probably already well above its RTH altitude it most likely stayed there near the cliff until it reached the critically low battery level and landed.

If the area is accessible from below, maybe it can still be recovered if it managed to find a dry resting spot. Terrain looks rough overall, but hopeful in places.

There's no harm in looking if it can be done safely, but frankly it doesn't look too promising:

I am terribly sorry for the late reply, it seems a system error that caused the delay. I had forwarded the designated team and they will help to deal with your case asap. Sorry again for it, and thank you for your patience.
