    Looking for help to figure out a Fly-away.

    The drone is a Spark. Not new out of the box, i had been flying it for a week before the incident and yes the compass was calibrated for where I was flying. I was flying in the countryside and while there was a stone house about 10 meters behind me, everything else was grass and trees. And yes...

    Looking for help to figure out a Fly-away.

    Fortunately it had a happy ending and I recovered the drone after wading into thick brush and getting very cut up. I had only flown the drone a short distance above me and in front of me, when it suddenly flew forward about 20 to 30 yards, didn't seem to respond to the sticks and the RTH button...

    Looking for help analyzing Mavic Air crash Data, DJI giving me runaround

    I know I am a newbie, but I don't see any autoland button on the controller nor in the APP. This is the screen shot of the button within the DJI Go APP. It does not say autoland, it says Return to Home confirming will bring the drone. I was under the impression that Auto Land kicked in...

    Looking for help analyzing Mavic Air crash Data, DJI giving me runaround

    I've been Googling Auto Land and I have many threads of people reporting that their drone auto landed without them initiating the process, with some saying that once it started the process there was no way to abort with the sticks. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.

    Sar014, thanks for the message but I don't understand when you say I hit the auto land button instead of return to home. My controller has a single button on the top left that is a Return to home Button. In the APP. the two options on the screen on the left, are the Auto Takeoff and Return to...

    The parking circle was paved. there were a couple of metal street lamps there and a low railing but not much metal that could affect the compass.

    The home point in the first flight graphic is correct. It was a parking circle to the left of that zig-zag building and to the right of that space that leads to the building with the blue roof. The parking area is about 10 meters back from the start of the beach. It was probably 120 meters from...

    Looking for help analyzing Mavic Air crash Data, DJI giving me runaround

    So,at the end of the first flight, it says Auto Landing, which I assume indicates that I had hit Return to Home, which I had. But it also indicates that it didn't auto land at the original Home Point that set at takeofff, which is where I was standing with the controller. I remember it saying...

    Looking for help analyzing Mavic Air crash Data, DJI giving me runaround

    Hello, I am new to forum. I recently had a crash with a relatively new Mavic Air. It was responding fine and then suddenly it said it was resetting home point while in mid flight. That got me scared as I had lost sight of the drone. I hit return to home and it landed but not where I was, I made...

    Controller not charging, even though lights flashing when connected

    Hello, this is my first post but I've seen a couple of others referring to issues with the controller not charging. I have a new Spark/Controller and I successfully charged the controller at least once, maybe twice, but now it doesn't charge. When I connect the cable, the lights on top of the...
