    Mavic 2 pro crash, help needed

    I prefer changing one of the mode switches to enable ATTI mode in case of any unexpected flight behavior. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=1514257&share_tid=46782&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmavicpilots%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fthreads%2FMavic-2-Atti-mode%2E46782%2F&share_type=t

    What are the best settings for indoor flying?

    No compass errors. The magnetic fields produced by the rebar within the concrete extend less than 12 inches above its surface. Try using this iOS app and you’ll can test out your environment. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metal-detector-pro/id381166202

    What are the best settings for indoor flying?

    The rebar within concrete can result in a bad compass initialization if you start your drone from it surface. I power up the Mavic hand holding it above my head. I can then fly in close proximity to rebar with no problems.

    FAA Letter Requesting My Statement/Evidence Regarding a "Law Enforcement" Interferrence Operation

    Sounds to me this may have escalated because the agent felt you were not recognizing his authority by telling him you’ll talk to him after you land

    DJI announcing Flysafe-AirSense (ADS-B) What do you guys think?

    It shows aircraft & distance (no altitude nor speed) It does not differentiate between helicopters & airplanes. It does give a nice red warning when aircraft gets relatively close.

    Drone crash - what did I do?

    Personally, I prefer to check for magnetic interference independently of the Go4 App .... see my post #37 in this thread: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=67544&share_tid=140162&share_pid=1408495&url=https%3A%2F%2Fphantompilots%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fposts%2F1408495%2F&share_type=t

    Don't have your FAA Part 107? You might be flying illegally even if for recreation purposes

    You’re late to the party... the “new rules” have yet been implemented.

    Mavic went ROGUE, and is gone

    You should be okay. For the first 30ft AGL, you will have downward facing VPS Then as you ascend, you'll get eventually get GPS.. Here's a Phantom2 flying in ATTI from 5 stories below street level to then ascend & acquire GPS.

    Mavic went ROGUE, and is gone

    Here's my very basic explanation: 1. GPS tells the aircraft its position on earth (doesn't control altitude, its barometer does that) 2. Compass tells the aircraft which way is North. They work together to keep the aircraft hovering in one place. 3. See attached diagram; In this example...
