Thanks for your explanation.
But it remains odd from my point of view that, since we seem to agree that since the mini attempts to govern its speed to in p mode 18 mph, 30 in s and so on, by ground speed alone, and that it thus checks it when travelling down wind, it does not attempt to maintain 18 in p mode or rth by using some or all of its s mode capability.
This may override its p tilt limit, but why not to aid wind penetration? Correct me if I'm on the wrong tack, but if the speed is still restricted to 18 mph, everything else remains as it should.
The drone calculates speed via GPS. The indicated speed is relative to ground or "speed over ground".
Like all DJI drones, the Mini has recommended limits on the conditions in which it is designed to operate. If you choose to fly in conditions beyond the stated limits, in particular moisture, temperature, or wind, then there is a risk of crash or loss of the aircraft.
An experienced pilot can employ his skill & knowledge to safely fly in conditions beyond the stated limits, but the drone may lack the capability to successfully maintain position or return home automatically. In the hands of an inexperienced pilot the risk of loss is greatly increased. We see this reflected in numerous posts.
Every DJI drone has a limited flight envelope. None autonomously applies maximum thrust to compensate for inexperience or poor decisions made by the pilot. The Mini is lighter & less powerful, so the flight envelope & margin for pilot error is smaller. |
