After 2 minutes of Flight, we have realized that the drone not listening to our RC. irrespective of the mode. It just went with the wind and our only concern is why it has not sent the GPS. At least we could try to locate the drone by searching. But it just lost nowhere. There comes the more possibility search operation.
This could happen to anyone where nature will take control over us anytime. We cant predict the wind 100%. Its like a mystery where that drone end up.??
Thats why you need to engage brain when flying. If it warns of wind, it means its windy. You need to monitor the speeds its doing in which directions and everything else.
You don't need "100% certainty". You simply need to be aware and fly accordingly and not blindly rely on automated systems.
Those wind speed numbers are 2-3x the maximum it can cope with. Even full power in sport mode tha drone is still going to be going backwards.
With hindsight in conditions like that, not flying at all would be the correct choice.
Its a wooded area, most likely it lost contact when trees blocked the LOS between you and it hence losing it.
Given the wind speed it could drift a substantial distance down wind before hitting critical battery and landing. You need to search downwind but it could be a long way by the time it force landed.
Theres no way DJI will help you out here. The log merely highlights exactly how not to conduct a drone flight. Unfortunately you've made an expensive mistake.
DJI will only get involved if it shows a clear hardware fault and everything here shows the drone behaving completely normally with no faults.
