I have a Mavic Pro flying a mission made using Litchi. I’ve flown this route 5 times and never had a problem. On my latest flight, a System Error/Check App message appeared on screen, and mode went to ATTI, even though screen was showing 20 sats.
I spent too much time looking at the screen; and when I looked up, I couldn’t see the drone. I tried pausing mission and RTH, but it would not enter RTH mode. The screen was showing the drone flying East, even though mission should be in North direction.
The drone was about 800 or 900 feet out and travelling at 10 mph. This was first flight on a full battery, so I decided to land it rather than have it go any further. I should have handled it differently, i.e., switch to Sport Mode, etc.; but at the time, all I was thinking about was my drone flying away.
Using Find My Drone, I spent an hour plus walking the Nature Preserve and found the drone. All props were broken or missing, and gimbal is now showing overload error message. Other than that, drone powers up and image from camera shows on phone screen.
I included the flight log and would appreciate if someone could tell me what went wrong.
