I was checking out Skyvector looking at fires in the Western States and I noticed this huge DROTAM west of Portland. Is there a way to check out the reason? I went to notams.aim.faa.gov and it's listed but no reason why. And it's from SFC-92000 ft? Really? I'm not in the area just curious.

Thanks for your help. That's interesting since the app doesn't show any down throttle. Only left turn.

Hey All, My Mavic crashed into a river a few weeks ago. I reviewed my flight through the DJI Go 4 app and it seems the Mavic descended on its own. I did not see any control inputs on my part that would have made it go down. I opened a ticket with DJI. They responded today and said it was my...
