I took my Spark out to test the max range. The app showed 15XXft when the signal started to break up and I flew back. When reviewing the log it shows max distance was 41XXft for that flight. I double checked to make sure both measurements were in feet and they are. Is this an issue or am I overlooking something?

Max distance is the total distance flown on the battery from take off to landing - not the furthest distance from your position during the flight. If your settings are set to imperial the distances will display in feet in your app however, they show as metres on here under your profile irrespective of your app setting. 1 metre = 3.28 feet.

"Max distance is the total distance flown on the battery from take off to landing"-  I did not know this.  Thank you for the info.

Where were you flying that you got 15000 feet? I’ve never gotten over a mile without RTH activating

I'm guessing that by using 15XXft G Arno means a distance between 1500 and 1599 ft. Maybe you miscounted the"X's".

Yes  It was just over 1500 feet.

My app shows that the max takeoff altitude is 384.1m. I never gone above 100m as that’s the limit I have set on my DJI Go.
Anyone know what does it mean ?

Thank you

That is the max takeoff altitude above sea level - not how high you flew the drone above ground.

Sorry, my eyes played tricks on me, I saw 15XXX.

Thank you. That's interesting. I never thought of it.
