Glad to hear you were able to find a safe place to put it down under that kind of pressure. Well done. Let me assure you, there was no error on your part. Holding down the throttle 100% for any length of time is not supposed to start an auto-landing, UNLESS the Mavic is within 0.5m of the ground. When flying at altitude, you should be able to safely apply 100% stick input in any direction without worry. The aircraft's flight controller is pre-programmed to make sure the aircraft stays within safe operating limits. What you experienced was not normal behavior, although it's not completely unique, either. Basically, you experienced a combination of two known issues:
1. The Mavic going into auto-landing from altitude is almost always caused by a problem with the VPS system. If the system believes the aircraft is less than 0.5m from the ground, it will initiate auto-landing if you hold the throttle down for a few seconds. The VPS issue was supposed to be solved with the newer firmwares, but it seems like your experience shows otherwise. See this (long) thread for more details: http://forum.dji.com/thread-77495-1-1.html
2. Unable to abort the auto-landing using throttle or Pause button. This was a "feature" introduced only with the newest v01.03.0500 firmware. See more details here: http://forum.dji.com/thread-89386-1-1.html |
