I would like to learn more from your mistake please?
You say you were flying backwards in ATTI mode and in mid flight you switched from ATTI to P mode and that is when the accident occurred, correct?
If not, can you explain?
Sure! It happened exactly as you rephrased in your second sentence. I'd say it *might* have contributed to the crash:
1. I was flying *inside* the melting glacier, very carefully in ATTI mode.
2. When I was done filming that I flew out very carefully and pulled the bird full speed up and backwards to show the scale of an icy hole I flew in. It was very challenging shot and I did it right.
3. I was looking at the screen to frame the shot and when I was satisfied with what I saw I released backwards stick and upwards stick. I have also switched from ATTI to P at the same time. I don't remember what I did first exactly, but both actions were within one second. The drone should have flown about 200m and was within visibility range
4. A couple of seconds after I wanted to check where the drone is and looked away from the screen. Immediately I saw 'Aircraft disconnected'
5. Video that was saved on an RC showed that the drone flew backwards to some very big stones. This video allowed me to find every single piece of the drone, including white plastic stubs and some camera parts, but not the camera itself.
I haven't analyzed the log yet, but I blame myself here as I was celebrating a great shot too early. But I blame myself at 90% |
