Mark is referring to "Motor overloaded. Aircraft will decelerate to ensure safety". It wasn't a battery issue but a motor issue. These birds need all four to fly safely. You were losing at least one motor, so it correctly tried to land.
Immediate action should have been to flip the camera to looking straight down and find a place to land....
This was the third time flying since the aircraft came back from DJI because of "motor idling, loose or missing propeller", weak GPS signal (showing 17 satellites) and compass error (drone flew 500 feet on it's own until regained control). DJI replaced the main logic board and 1 motor. One flight was 10,000 feet, the other around 1000 from what I recall and this one that went 1200 then the emergency landing. No motor warning message. Yes I had it going upwards and forward at the same time, 67% forward propulsion, 49% up but I've flown faster while climbing without errors before. Looking over my flight records I've flown at 100% forward throttle for 5500 feet, 25 miles per hour without any motor warnings. |
