    Mavic 2 Pro Fly Away

    I did look at that and you are correct in that data point. The event log is what I referenced, which stated 2.7 seconds after motor start. That is what was odd to me. 2.7,HOME POINT RECORDED. RTH ALTITUDE:Â 30M.

    Mavic 2 Pro Fly Away

    The file will be named FLY11.dat and is in the MCDATFLIGHTRECORDS folder.

    Mavic 2 Pro Fly Away

    This Data looks odd. Your home point was set AFTER you issued throttle for takeoff. Approx 2 seconds after. At ~4 seconds, an IMU POSITIONING ERROR occurred which remained for the entire flight. Can you supply the Device DAT for this flight? It should be FLY11.dat.

    LOST MY MAVIC MINI TODAY...I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED

    You really can't for different altitudes unless you do a proper pre-flight check. Always remember that winds aloft are generally much higher than those on the ground.

    Mavic Pro 2 lost at sea - what could I have done differently

    @slup With all due respect, your analysis is quite good. However, I would like to offer some practical advice from a long time telemetry analyst. Extreme detail in every analysis is quite often ( More times than not ) unnecessary. You should consider that any OP who may ask for assistance may...

    Mavic Pro 2 lost at sea - what could I have done differently

    Assuming this is fairly accurate. The winds were quite high and blowing out to sea....

    Mavic Pro 2 lost at sea - what could I have done differently

    For the sake of asking the question. I assume you were aware that you were using a custom setting on your remote. This really has no bearing on the wind issue, but your control inputs are reversed from the norm.

    Unable to upload .dat file

    Most of the other aircraft .dat's can be read. The MP2 cannot be. However the device .dat can be read. If you can locate the device .dat from the "System Failure" it is possible something could be found there. Unlikely, but possible.

    Tethering a Mavic Mini

    I would highly advise against adding any additional weight to the Mini. It has propulsion issues as it is. Adding any weight at all will make the aircraft even more unstable.

    Unable to upload .dat file

    Unfortunately the MP2 aircraft .dat is encrypted and can only be read by DJI.

    Unmarked no fly zones

    Oh I completely agree with that. You don't see a clearly marked NFZ area very often. It should be but it is not. It is up to each individual pilot to do the research prior to flying in a particular area to ensure the legality of the flight unfortunately.

    Unmarked no fly zones

    But they were publicized. Both in the Atlanta Journal and the Gainesville Times.

    PLEASE Help. LOST Mavic Enterprise Dual - PILOT APP

    We will need to see the actual flight log for this flight. Preferably both the .txt log and the device .dat. You can directly upload the .txt log here, or share from Airdata if applicable. If you are unsure of how to do this just ask.

    Unmarked no fly zones

    @sar104 I agreee with your Post above #5. As long as the OP is not "On" the property he could certainly overfly. Another source quote: People who are on corps property cannot operate a drone without permission. Anyone who is standing, swimming or boating on the lake would also need to submit a...

    Unmarked no fly zones

    The primary point is that Lake Lanier is Federal property.
