The manual says you can't kill the motors during flight. If I pull completely back on the throttle for 3 seconds during flight will I kill the motors or will the Mavic just descend to 2 meters to land.?
 
You can only kill the motors mid-flight by doing a CSC.

Yea I read the manual actually..several times, Key words in manual motors can only be stopped in flight when controller detects critical error. I like to use both controllers at the same time for fun flying and hesitate because if fear I will shut off motors.
 
As the manual says, there is a setting for whether CSC is possible at all times or only when the FC thinks you should be able to do one.

Regardless of that setting only pulling the throttle stick down will never kill the motors unless the aircraft has stopped descending i.e. has landed.
