As a matter of fact I do see what you are referring to, as I started reading the manual for a 3rd time to see if you were based in fact. It does say what you say it does. However you leave out a key part of what it says. This is if the drone has lost all gps link and can no longer find its home point acutely. It is interesting that you think this is a normal thing for the P4PV2, as I have not found it to be. I always wait for 9 or more satalights before I launch my bird ( ussaly takes about 3-5 minutes) I also tend to take an accurate home point. At the time of the incident (according to the log) it had over 18 satellites. So I am not sure how you would think that a loss of gps landing would apply. In fact the take off flight showed the correct home point, the landing flight has no home point at all, it also starts at 100’ AGL. Now that’s talent!
In fact the drone hovered very accurately, despite not having main gimbal for vision, 15 mph winds and loss of controller connection.

Unless the P4PV2 is different than all other Phantoms, the 20 Metre rule has been the case since the very first P3 model. No-one seems to know why DJI programmed it that way, and it has been a constant puzzle to everyone. It doesw not matter what triggers the RTH function, including manually pressing the RTH button, if it is within 20 Metres of the home point, it lands where it is. And yes, people have had their aircraft drop in the water as a result of this action.
But since you want to question everything I tell you, why not wait until someone else comes along and confirms what I said. Or better still, do a search on this forum, it has been the subject of many threads.
