I was out on my first da with Mavic Mini, studied the manual and watched lots of videos. Drone was set with RTH altitude of  200' and I was in very large open clear area with great GPS reception.  Drone was several hundred feet away about 100' up.  I initiated RTH and the RETURN TO HOME message appeared on the iPhone7+ screen.  I could see drone rise and start to approach.  Soon a helicopter appeared and I was concerned so I immediately cancelled it and started a manual descent to maybe 50' and hovered.  After heli cleared the area, I tried to initiate RTH again, but only got the LANDING message and could not restart the RTH.  I manually brought it in.

Any help on why RTH would not initiate again?

Hi,

At wich distance away from HP did you try to initiate the RTH again?
If < 20 meters then it will not do a RTH but a landing.

cheers

Two things could possibly happen, one as jjb said, the second is you chose to RTH by pressing auto slide and mistakenly hitting land which is very similar .

i think we all know it well RTH but for some reason we don't know RTM which is just as important!

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused. As JJB* stated at post #2, if the drone is less than 20 meters from the home point the drone will initiate landing procedure. For more details, I will be posting a link ( https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/ ... anual_v1.0_en_0.pdf ) with regards to the manual for the DJI Mavic Mini.  If you have further concern or inquiry, please feel free to post it here at DJI Forum. Thank you.
